misinformed 04 150 spark plug guy here !!
Well,...group,..thanks for all the comments about me getting my plugs changed by the dealer at 74,000 for $350.00 last tuesday. Well,....I left for Bakersfield to go duck hunting on Tues. night with the motor purring,...and was trying to get back to Ojai Calif. this morning on an alternate route as the highway 5 and all normal routes back to Ojai are closed because of snow!!!
I was on rt 41 near templeton at 6:10 AM and hit black ice on a bridge and rolled that bitch 7 TIMES over and over for about 180 feet!!! came to rest upright with both front and left rear wheels ripped off, all glass broke out and majorly FU**ED UP!!!! Cal trans was sitting right there when it happened and couldn't believe I only had bruises and minor cuts on top of right hand!! The "OL FORD sure came through,..I honestly thought I was dead (seriously) all I could do was hold my breath, shut my eyes, make myself as small as possible (I'm 6'6" and 310)!!!! I literally thought to myself CHRIST!! nascar doesn't roll this many times!! I will be getting a new 150 4 wheeler. Does anyone know when 2009's will be available?

Thank the seat mount bolts. I used to be an EMT and when responding to multi roll accidents we would usually see that the seat had stripped out of the bolts and ejected the occupant. If the victim survived the ejection they usually didn't survive the car rolling over them. Glad to hear you're OK.

WOW - Tough Truck!
Wow, Fantastic that you made out so well! The truck can be replaced, it has already done its duty protecting you! This is incredible to me, and makes me much more prone to buck up, although I've fought it for years. Glad you made out so well, and the Best of Luck with your next new Ford. Uh, just lets try to keep this one right side up!... (Chuckles)
