no more truck
I was driving to work this morning and fell asleep. Doing about 40 mph i hit a telephone pole and snapped it in half and then hit some trees. I walked away with a cut lip. The truck wasn't so lucky. It's going to be a total lose. I got super lucky that i walked away and no one else got hurt. Guess i don't have to worry about my oil leak anymore. Really depressing day so far.

Which truck?? You have two in your signature.
Man...glad you're okay! Have you been working overtime or something? Falling asleep in the morning...whew...not really heard of that. Mostly hear about it at night after being on the road for a long time.

Man, sorry to hear about that. You are lucky though! Anything like that and it's hit or miss. I'd be happy it was just a cut lip.
Heck, there's a pic on wrecked exotics.com with Super Duty (or F150 I can't remember now) that had a telephone pole slide off the truck and impaled the driver. How's that for a morning commute?

thankfully, you were driving a truck and not a small car where you may not have gotten away relatively unharmed... sorry to hear about this and hope you can replace the truck soon.

I'm really thankful it wasn't a car, i wouldn't be in good shape at all. The rear axle got torn out and i don't think there are to many body panels that aren't smashed. the pole must have came down on the bed cause it's pretty messed up. It has powerslot rotors with less than 100 miles on them!

maybe you can buy the truck back from the INS co and part out any of the good parts and make a couple of bucks and use it for new truck add ons
glad you were able to wlak away from it!

$h*t Happens. Thank god your angel was with you to keep ya out of harms way, and as others have said, thank god you were in the Super Duty.
Truck can be replaced, you can't. Misfortunes such as this seem to have a unique way of turning out for the better. Keep your head held high and get a good night's rest!
