Ok I have two stories with the same truck.

Ok first I had had my permit for a couple of months and after the one night of practicing at the local rifle club my mom was going to let me drive home and well theres two parking lots there and the one we rarely park in because we were in a 2002 PSD crewcab with a 6 foot tall cap on the back and the one parking lots has trees by it and isnt very wide. Well that night we parked in the one we dont usually park in. So as Im backing up my mom said "Theres a tree back there" and I said "We're ok" and as soon as I said that I backed into the tree so we stopped got out and looked to see if there was damage but it was dark and we didn't see anything. So the next morning after getting the paper my dad comes up the stairs finds me and says "What the hell happened to the truck." and my response was "A tree." Turns out when I hit the tree I bent the bumper and popped the fender out. The repairs had to come oput of my dads pocket which he wasnt happy about at all.

A week after the reapirs were done my dad was taking it for an oil change and goes to turn and got rear ended by a Dadge Ram 1500. My dad slowed down hoping the guy would stop so they could exchange information and the guy takes off long story short my dad followed him and after getting sworn at exchanged information with him. There wasnt even any damage done to my dads truck cause the guy hit the reese hitch and it put a hole in the plastic bumper on the Dodge.

I've had my license for a month or so now and I'm driving a 1990 Bronco and I'm hopping I never get in a wreck.

 

My first and only so far happened august 2006. I was coming home in my '97 escort lx and traffic was heavy. This lady in a cadillac fleetwood pulls out and crosses two lanes of stopped traffic and nails my front right fender almost to the radiator. Needless to say she got a failure to yield and I got my truck.

 

I damn near hit an Audi A4 Friday night coming home from work...

Came down a long, steep hill (the second of two on my drive home), then the road flattens out, and there's a stop sign. Gentle on the brakes all the way down the hill, double-clutched into third at the bottom, then scrub off some speed that way coming up the stop. Get to where I want to stop, behind the Audi, and the middle pedal went to the floor. Still had some braking, and I wasn't going very fast, but it was a little closer than I'd like, and if I'd panicked, it might not have worked out so well...

Now I'm doing brake lines this weekend...

 

I haven't wrecked yet, but one of my friends had a "squirrel incident"
It was me, my friend driving, and two other friends in a tin can Suzuki car, and he tried swerving to dodge a rabbit, the car slid on the gravel, skidded into a ditch and then flipped into a freshly plowed field. The car was toast, but we all walked away laughing without a scratch.

 

This was about 3 months ago, I've had my licence since august. I was driving home from a friends in my 1990 Taurus and the road was a little wet, well I went to make a left turn at the intersection and I took it a little fast, about half-way through the turn the car started going straight, and I jumped a curb and somehow the car slid in between a telephone pole and that metal wire that holds the pole straight. I missed the pole but scraped the side of the car with the wire. The rear bumper was half-ripped off, the rear passenger door was bent and wouldn't open and more and the passenger side mirror was barely hanging on, and the steering was a little off. I ended up selling the car for $500 and bought my 03 Ranger. The very next day I was driving my moms corsica because my dad took the taurus to the shop for a quote and some dork in a 2007 silverado backed into the car. The mirror was broken but the trucks bed was dented to heck from the tire back. Shows how tough chevy's are.

 

I went to get gas before going to school and there was a red light up ahead and i was in my litte ranger behind a big lifted F150 (that i was admiring alot) and i was slowing down at the same pace as him as normal then all of a sudden he swerved into the right lane and about 15 yards in front of my a van is stopped and i had to slam on my brakes and i stopped just before hitting him but the car behind me didnt so she hit me and sent me into the van in front of me, totalled her car, lol i need 2 new bumpers and thats it haha, needless to say i was pissed and she tried acting like it wasnt her fault when the cop told her it was i just laughed at her. I was proud of my little tough ranger, now i drive a bigger truck (f150) so i can see infront of the other big trucks lol.

 

I was 16 and skipping school,,,out riding around with some friends.
I had a 1973 Rally sport Nova. It was a little snowy and icy out.
Went down a big hill and when I went to stop. I started sliding.
Well being 16 and not knowing any better(like let off the break so it would turn) I just stood on the break and went straight into a big tree.
It only made a little dent but I was upset and in trouble.
I went home and parked in my front yard next to the tree and told my mom I hit the tree in the front yard,,,,lol.

 

i was 21 i had a 94 bravada i rear ended a semi truck. the truck stalled i started it up and the fan cut a hole to spin and i walked away. the driver said his load shifted i said no that was a suv hitting you. but you know live and let live

i tell you what, theres something about Volvo station wagons and toyota prius's. ive almost hit about 4 volvos in 3 months, and 3 prius's in the same amount of time. all while drivin "Big Red" (68 f250).

they all acted like it was my fault. i just laughed and yelled "my car wouldnt be totaled, now would it?"

 

Ahhh, first wreak. Just got done rebuilding the engine on a blazer when on the first test drive lost all brakes and hit a tree head on at 50. Crompled the truck. Broke moter mounts, broke tranny, bent drive shaft, broke rear end, front tires didnt touch ground 'cause frame was bent so bad, roof was touching passinger seat, all glass was broke. I got a brused rib from seat belt and cut on my face from steering wheel. i got very lucky. I walked away by my self.

 

No wrecks but damn close

i was driving on a road, it was daylight, just got outta school, and im approaching a stoplight where, the 2 lane road im on splits into three, two of which turn left to go towards a freeway, and one continues on, and im coming up on an old honda minivan going 20 under, and i decide i dont wanna get stuck behind her, so i move into the left lane, and floor my lil 302 (fox mustangs FTMFW) fly by her, by now im going about 60 in a 45, and unfortunately i forgot that the corner was blind up to the stoplight, and it was red for me, with 2 cars in every lane, and as you may or may not know, fox brakes suck, well, luckily i saw it soon enough that i was able to slam on my brakes, their crappyness prevented them from locking, and i stopped with about 3 feet to spare

another where i almost got killed/seriously injured,
back in middleschool, theres a T intersection on my commute, and to get there i have to make a left from the dead end street onto the through street. However, to the left, the street curves sharply left, creating a nasty blind spot where people usually go around 50, making it a PITA to make the turn, so my mom was watching to the left, just glanced to the right, and went, not realizing there was an SUV coming, and saw the thing RIGHT before she plowed into the passenger (MY) door

We were in a 96 Town and Country, they were in a CRV, i think

 

well i just had my first one tonite.i was at a mudsling and they have a long gravel driveway so when we were leavin my friend was driftin his car, i usually don't do stuff like that but on this occasion i decided to and a 3/4 ton truck doesn't straighten up as easily as a car so i ended up catchin a edge off to the side of the road and put my truck on its side.idk how bad it is right now cause its dark but i tweaked the roof of the cab and left front fender pretty good.seems to still be runnin fine cause i flipped back on its wheels and drove it in.try to put some pics up tom.

 

My first real wreck where that was any actual damage was just before my 20th birthday.

I was driving home from work and was stuck behind this girl I worked with named Sammie.She's a horrible driver,slams on her brakes at the last minute.Well it had jsut rained and she slammed on her brakes...causing me to slam on mine and I slid into the back of her Pontiac Vibe with my 1988 Cutlass.She jsut had somes cratches on her bumper,I had the grille of my car all smashed up and a headlight busted due to it all being fiberglass.

A few months later I quite that job because I beat the crap out of her boyfriend who wouldn't stop harassing me about the accident.

 

wheee, almost had one last saturday night coming home from work, on th eway to me house there is a rather steep hill, with a sharp turn at the bottom and a short straightaway leading up to the turn. so im coming home from work and i hit the straight patch and roll onto the throttle,and stay on it through the curve just like normal to gain momentum for the hill. except, whoops! im not in my truck, im in my dads hyundai, a car that is so light it practically floats up the hill and therefore doesnt need to be gaining the extra momentum the truck does, so naturally on the curve it starts to slide, but i corrected it and only whent off the road about a foot

ive decided that that hyundai is the devil, ive put it in neutral twice (automatic) while entering the freeway because i was mentally shifting into fourth like in me truck, and now ive almost wrecked it out because i was mentally still in my truck! i really need to fix the truck before i kill myself!
