The landing of the ranger doesn't seem that bad on the video, I was expecting much harsher for the damage I mean. And yea the F150 sounds bad *** for a 351!

Went to merge onto 95 from 287 and heard a pop followed by white smoke. Got off exit 2 went a ways trying to find a place to put the truck. Ran out of oil a few feet short. Platinum Pete was a half hour behind me so I got him to pull me into a parking lot and he gave me a ride home. Truck is still in Greenwich. Should get picked up in the morning. This sucks. Autopsy will begin Friday night likely.
