1 AM ROAD SIDE ASSISTENCE

Thanks to FTE, I was able to help out a fellow FORD owner.

The family and I were coming home from great america when a deer jumped out in front of the Explorer to my left. She kept it straight and didn't tangle our EX up in the mess of truck to deer impact.

We stopped, and the young girl who was traveling from Chicago to Missouri, emerged from the Explorer (freaking out ) about the situation.

She was by her self traveling to see her father who was going in for a triple by pass.

We were able to limp the Explorer 10 miles to a gas station.

I went home, and got my saw zaw, and cut the front bumper away from the tire.

Damaged light/fender/grille etc. Cooling was ok.

I tought about FTE and the support we have for one another.

We are a lucky group.

We are lucky we can take matters into our own hands and have a positive outcome. ( In most cases)
We can do it with the support of FTE and our abilities to make it happen.

I'm proud to be a FTE member and appricate all the support we have for each other.

The young girl was equally appricative.

Thanks again FTE.

Very good of you to help the Ford lady out, but, I bet you would have helped no matter of the brand.
