I need to apologize

The other day I responded to a post by Tomsservices by denigrating California and her citizens. My comments were out of line and I apologize to all who read them. I realize this forum should be about Ford trucks, but this is where I popped off, so this is where I need to apologize.

On another note, thanks to all of you who have helped me sort out problems on my '67 F250 over the past month since I bought it. Last night someone ran a red light and totaled my truck. My son was driving and walked away without a scratch. If I can't find another old Ford F-Series to buy and work on, this may be the last you hear of me.

Have you checked the classifieds on this site? Don't give up so quickly?

Glad your son was OK. Just another reason to love these old trucks!

Glad to hear that your son was OK. I know you hated to see your truck get crashed, but if your son was going to have a wreck he couldn't have picked a better vehicle to be in when it happened. I can testify to the safety of the old ford trucks. My freshman year of college I was driving my Dad's 71 Ranger shortbed when a big rig decided he wanted his lane and mine too. My truck bounced off of his three times, and finally ended up against the guardrail. There was such a mess that both lanes of I-24 heading towards Nashville were shut down for nearly 4 hours. I twisted the steeering wheel like a pretzel and slightly sprained my wrist, but was otherwise unhurt. The first trooper to arrive commented that he couldn't believe nobody got hurt. My normal transportation at that time was a Pontiac Fiero so I can only imagine what would have happened if I had been in my car instead of my dad's truck. The truck was a total loss, but we found another one and used the one I wrecked as a parts truck. Hopefully you will be able to do the same. Good Luck.
