You might want to invest in a Furuno Marine Radar system ao you can watch out for approaching threats. And buy a couple of those RPGs from the black market so you can get them before they get you.

i saw her coming up to the sign kinda quick, there was a car turning so i lost signt for a second. but i was allready braking just incase. then next thing i saw was her frontend so i swerved into the oncoming lane to try and avoid her but she kept going...right into my truck

so now i get to deal with all the BS that goes along with this AGAIN! lucky me!

Or a full outer Roll bar/Crash cage to keep rhe threats from hitting him. Something like what some of the Rock Crawlers have on their trucks.
Or a Force Field like in Star Trek.

must be fate, at least on the positive side your learing the inner workings of insurance.. what dont kill you will only make you stronger.. i tell you what tho, you couldnt pay me to ride with you.

C'mon Uno, don't be so hard on him. I think he has just been in the wrong place at the wrong time. His luck has got to change soon, He'll probably hit the Power Ball soon and buy a huge chunk of Alaska and invite us all to go off roading with him.

You can buy tickets for Mega Millions online and maybe for Power Ball. In any case I hope he wins it if he plays.

after pulling it in the garage and looking at it closer the front pass side door has scratches. so its going to have to be repainted also, which basicly means the whole pass side except the front fender will be new paint...jeez!!!

yeah, trust me if none of these woulda happend i would have been very happy with my old excursion and no body damage to the expedition...if only i know now what i didnt know then. oh well all i can do is take it day by day.

its just really rough right now, ALOT of family issues that are stressing me so much then these wrecks ontop of it and dealing with all the crap that goes along..i'm at my breaking point. i honestly dont know how i keep it together anymore.

fingers crossed for brighter better days ahead!
