Well, coming home from my brothers house after Thanksgiving dinner, a freaking idiot driving a green silverado truck decides to hang a left in front of me. I'm doing about 40 mph at the time this numnuts turns left about 50 ft in front of me!I did what i could, locked em up and just held on. Broadsided him and pushed a toyota turning right across the sidewalk at the corner! Front of my truck is wiped out! The bumper came thru fine but pushed the grill back about 10 to 12 inches. SPLIT the hood. Tore the hood loose from the hinges. Both fenders torn loose from the cab. Radiator gone. Headlights came through unbroken though. Bent my rootbeer brown metal flake wheel, DAMNIT! I was alone and didn't get any real injuries, yet. Wait til morning to really see when the adrenaline wears off! jerry
Sonofabitch man..that SUCKS! Glad your alright though..... Drivers now day's just don't use there damn heads at all!
Good luck waking up tomorrow. Hope you're OK. Sometimes it takes a day or 2 for symptoms to show. Dont sign anything. Sorry about your truck.
glad to hear you are ok jerry, just shows how important it is to be careful on the hollydays! I know you were somber, but it could have been much worse. the truck can be fixed, if not its time to get going on the sedan! agan, glad to hear you are OK
Glad you're in one piece. Probably got more bruises than you know right now but breathing and not bleeding is always good. The truck will fix.
I was alone and didn't get any real injuries, yet. Wait til morning to really see when the adrenaline wears off! jerry[/QUOTE] Jerry, glad to hear that you're okey with no major injuries !!! Shame about your cool truck, but I guess your plan is to get it out back on the road again !? Take care ! / Sven
Must be the fuckin' cell phones, some biyotch did that to my wife tonight, we almost broadsided her- WTF? Does turkey make people stoopid? Gin and juice musta been flowin', ma brothas....
It's good to hear you are all right. Hearing that kind of shit makes me cringe! Hope it all works out bro.
I'll have to wait and see the truck in the light to see the extent of the damage. From what iI could see it was just the front clip that is wasted. The bumoer went under the guys frame so iI think it will be ok. Sore as all get out this am but I'll survive. jerry

Now get off the hamb n go ... Jerry going 40 mph ? musthave only been in first gear ...

That sucks man, I have been there. Do what Scooter says for sure and if Frank can't fix it ( He is great) I know a shop on the east side that can (Gateway Autobody or something like that) Take care of yourself first tho dude.
Jerry, I would get those picture for your insurance ASAP - and get to fixing the OL' girl. Hope to see her and you back the Drag 06!
Well, we needed an excuse for another AZ Hamb get-together. Looks like our next project is fixin' a truck.
