Ram it, so I did.
Yesterday, a girl driving a mustang came up to a stop sign, stopped, and then started turning in front of me before she had looked my way. When she saw me she panicked and hit the gas instead of the brake. I didn't have time to stop. Everyone walked away from the accident, but we all ended up going to the hospital. My wife sprained her wrist and hurt her shoulder. I managed to hit my head on the roof and jam my knee into the dash. My step daughter and 16 month old son were both perfectly fine. The girl in the car got a small cut on her forehead but was okay after the accident.
I think my truck is gonna be fine, it wasn't leaking anything and I could have driven it away but the bumper was jammed up in the tire and I was feeling sort of woozy so I didn't want to chance it.
This is the rental I got until they fix my truck. Don't laugh, it's really nice lol. Leather, DVD player, back up camera, and it has 1800 miles on it!

Yeah, I really hope the truck is fixable. It's paid off, and I've only had it since March. It's been my favorite vehicle I've owned. It's comfortable, rides nice, tows when I need it to, it's great. Everyone is okay, my wife has to wear a splint on her arm for 3-6 weeks, and a sling until her shoulder feels better. I've had a headache on and off since about noon yesterday.

Probably do. I got a cat scan done, they said all my brains were there despite what people might have told me. I didn't let them know I also had a neon.MoxHair wrote:Fuck that Mustang.
Fuck, That Mustang.
Fuck that, Mustang.
Headaches off and on? Sure you don't have a concussion?

Good to hear everyone survived basically intact.
That... is basically what really worries me here in
Texas where the drivers are so very unpredictable.
The only thing I can predict about them is they will
do something boneheaded.
It is bad enough in the best of times... but New Years
eve adds the DUI idiots to the scene... so I stayed off
the roads. According to some report San Antonio is the
19th drunkest city in the US... with Milwaukee being #1.
Do you suppose she will learn from this incident? I was
out for lunch with one of the guys from the office last
week where he was described two of his accidents...
both were caused by being inattentive... seems he did
not learn since I observed more of that inattentiveness
while driving in his vehicle to the restaurant.

If it's new, it's probably the Pentastar 3.6 liter V6.

Glad you and the family are ok!
...at least you got a Chrysler for a rental and not a god damn kia...
....(most) girls can't f*****g drive. Excluding LSP and I. LOL.
Seriously though - my dad taught me not to just drive for myself, but to drive for all of the idiots out there in the world who can't. I feel like a jerk but being extra cautious even at empty stop signs but I know it's for a reason.
I haz plenty of beer if you want some to feel better

Can't drink any with the meds the hospital put me on :-/.
Got the estimate back, they wrote it up for $4700 so far lol. Said its going to be 10 days of work, that's 10 working days. I'm gonna have this van for 3 weeks.
