Title: The snow, an idiot and a pole Post by: Pat Pixley on February 20, 2008, 10:19:42 pm Ok two week ago wednesday we had alot snow and I was out heading to a doctor appointment when I had a idiot back out of a driveway then went three drive ways down and decided to stop and make a left in front of me and left me no room to stop ,so instead of hitting that Sh :censored:t Head I tried to take the sidewalk and end up smoked a pole instead :down:, I did jump out and the little A :censored: hole took off like a bat out of :censored:.. :veryangry: The plus side the officer did not give me a ticket and I was fine the down side chargeable accident .
It has been tough with out a truck but I've had some help from my good friend Johnie G. Thanks John. Well I get it back Friday so I thought I would share some sad photo's Pat Title: Re: The snow and idiot and a pole Post by: collecture on February 20, 2008, 10:52:38 pm So sorry Pat!
Good to have friends though. Next time...pedal to the metal into them - j/k :oops: Title: Re: The snow and idiot and a pole Post by: Kilroy on February 21, 2008, 07:03:33 am I wish I could say I believe in karma, and the other driver will get his actions returned to him. But i will say I am very glad you are ok, it's a little easier to repair or replace the truck than a knowledgable friend.

I think everyone has a story... quickly, a 16 year old girl blew off a stop sign while crossing a main street. She slamed into my front left side causing my body to slam into the door frame, peeling back two inches of my scalp. Luckily the skin healed, but it left a horse shoe scar ( kind of makes me look like a hornless unicorn) :biggrin:. My lucky horse shoe got me my Wurlitzer Princess jukebox and my wife a wrap around couch. At least my neck didn't break! Oh yeah, she was in a hurry to change into a new dress at the high school dance. She didn't like the one she was wearing. Title: Re: The snow and idiot and a pole Post by: loman4ec on February 21, 2008, 08:08:06 am I know all too much about accidents. Its amazing how your life can change in a matter of seconds. We are all glad that you are Ok. Trucks can be fixed but our lives can't.

Creighton Title: Re: The snow and idiot and a pole Post by: MoonDawg on February 21, 2008, 01:47:05 pm I know all too much about accidents. Yes, not too long ago Josh was that "pole" :veryangry: So things could have been worse! Title: Re: The snow and idiot and a pole Post by: dr galaga on February 21, 2008, 05:45:53 pm I did jump out and the little A :censored: hole took off like a bat out of :censored:.. :veryangry: The plus side the officer did not give me a ticket and I was fine the down side chargeable accident . That stinks. Don't you guys have 'no fault' insurance up there anyway? So even if the :censored: stuck around your insurance would be stuck with it, right? Title: Re: The snow and idiot and a pole Post by: aspbear on February 21, 2008, 06:41:50 pm Hey Pat, sorry for the bad luck but after 34 years of working crashes I can tell you the important thing is you walk away. When you pick the truck up Friday they will have it all pretty again. It is a great looking truck.
Idiots like you had in front of you will eventually get what they deserve we just pray they dont take anyone with them.. Title: Re: The snow and idiot and a pole Post by: Pat Pixley on February 21, 2008, 10:59:07 pm Thanks Guy, I know I am lucky I was not hurt , It's just my pride that all :down:.
And Brent yeah we do have no fault Ins. up here,but if the little :censored: hole would have stuck around he would have gotten the ticket (right from the officer mouth) plus no deductable, But I was dealt this hand so I have to deal with it.. Pat Title: Re: The snow and idiot and a pole Post by: Jim on February 22, 2008, 07:34:58 am Pat,
Glad to hear you're not injured ! ! ! As stated previously, we can replace material things; however, family and friends aren't so easily replaced... |
