Hey guys & gals.....haven't been on the computer in a few days....a drunk driver interupted our lives on Fathers Day at about 3pm....
a drunk driver traveling at a high rate of speed ran another vehicle off the road..he spun out of control and into my freshly washed and waxed truck.....my girlfriend and I were shaken violently and rolled over....thank god everyone was ok..a guardrail stopped us from rolling into a canal...was out of work for a few days with a sore neck and back but we're ok....it's really crazy how fast something like that can happen....your life can change in the wink of an eye.....I'm thankful to be standing here I can tell you....I will post pics later today.....be careful on the road everybody.....
oh yea Spence....the truck is totalled so now I'M in the market for a new truck...lol

Glad to hear your all ok, hopefully the other guy was well insured. I second the Ford idea, I know that is what will be setting infront of my boat trailer in the near future.

HOLY CRAP ROB!!!!!! You should consider yourself VERY lucky to have made it through that with minimal injuries. I can tell you this...you can bet there would be NO COP that would hold me back from pummeling that drunk SOB!!! Expecially if my wife, or in your case GF, was hurt.... :evil: :evil: :evil:
Take Care brother....and if you need anything, let me know!

Glad to hear that you two are ok! I know the feelig to loose a loved one and friends to drunk drivers. Glad to hear that I wont be feeling that again. I've been driveing my 1500HD since September, gotta say that I love it. As far as what you get next, the new F350's are nice! But, U'll get places faster and quieter with a Duramax!

yea, yea...I hear ya Jeff.....the company I work 4 owns 3 Ford dealers though...I don't think a Chevy would make them happy...lol
I like Ford's better anyway....

I have no preference on what I'm driving. A buddy of mine has a 01 F-350 4-dr (ext cab) short box. He put 4 inch Pinnacle exhaust and a Edge Juice Chip on it, that thing smokes everything, almost.... He still has a little trouble with the tuners, but that thing flies. Again, glad to hear you two are ok!

06-22-2006, 04:40 PM
Glad to hear your ok!! Man don't go with a ford FixOrRepairDaily that's what fords are good for. Go with a new Toyota or Dodge, or Gmc you can beat the crap outta them and they keep going same with Chevy's. Good luck man!

06-22-2006, 04:55 PM
All you have to do is watch the truth about trucks, and you would only choose a Ford or Dodge. The toyota on the mogul course (4' staggered bumps) shook itself apart, the chevy, nissan frames where inadequate, and the toyota frame was even lighter. I am a dodge guy but after watching the video, and looking all the trucks over, I am definately going with the toughest built truck available. the ford.

all I know is that I need something to drive PRONTO!

Hey Rob.....What did you end up going with for your new truck?
How's everything goin after that?
njhonker
07-27-2006, 03:22 PM
YO....what's up? well....after MUCH debate.....
I bought another Nissan Titan....I really wanted another Ford diesel but it was just way too much money...I looked at a couple used ones but they were all messed up a bit....and since I work for Nissan..it makes alot more sense not to have to fight with our Ford dealer if I need anything...
the Titan is an awesome truck....very capable..lots of room, incredible motor...very good off road....it just GUZZLES gas.....

07-27-2006, 04:19 PM
I hear ya there Rob. Sounds like you liked your other one, I would've stuck with it too I'm sure.

Glad to hear your ok Rascal. You need to "sit on the porch and drink ice cold cherry coke" for awhile. Hey Jason he needs a Chevy. If he was in a chevy to begin with it prob. wouldn't of been totalled. All kidding aside, I am glad you are ok.

I should be getting mine back from the body shop today, I hope. I have a bunch of decals to put on it. If not, the guys insurance isn't gonna be happy, payin for a rental for a week....lol. Oh well, not my problem.
I'm just hoping I can get into the darn thing. Steps are still a little rough.
