Yes, plus they been involved in an accident. Some government regulation i suspect. Dealers used to take parts off of new vehicles regularly sitting on lots to get customers on the road quicker. Not any more! Dealers better not get caught doing that now. Not sure when that came down the path...

Most likely an insurance thing.

I'll bite. What's the silver lining in a crash? Similar to you or your loved ones getting terminal cancer and the medical students get more cadavers to learn on?

Alaska has 50k earthquakes a year. I laugh everytime I see a headline about an earthquake and it was a 4.5. I was there for a 7.0 and not a single person died. 4-5s happen almost daily up there. Life goes on. Stop being overdramatic.

Still don't know the silver lining in crash but I did see the silver lining in my example. Glad you agreed.

Any word or explanation on the original story? Hope the semi driver is okay. Damn the cargo, honestly. Even as slow as Ford production is, they can be replaced.

Death or property destruction (thankfully it is pretty sparse), I just am not sure of the silver lining of any accident.

He probably soiled his pants. We were at a truck stop a few years ago and saw a semi sitting there that had been smashed in the front. According to the people, it happened nearby. Car driver fell asleep and drove into him. He was fine but the car driver didn't make it. Supposedly he told the tow service to bring the semi there, called his boss and said he was totally done with driving after that.
