Wrecked!
So my wife was driving my truck home from work this morning and lost control. She hit a concrete retaining wall at over 40 MPH at 5:15 this morning.
She's sore but otherwise okay, which is the most important thing. I feel fortunate that she hit a wall rather than another car, so we're grateful nobody was hurt. Not sure what else to say at the moment, it's hard for me to focus right now...

OUCH!
Glad to hear she's OK. Trucks can be replaced, so no worries there. Take it easy, and tell her to sit back and relax for awhile. Good thing she wasn't driving some econo crap-box fuel sipper, or it could have been much worse.

Tom,
It's just a machine bro. I know she feels badly enough right now, just let it go and hug her.
The really cool thing is, in the course of this day, I'll bet that dozens and dozens of these Superduties rolled off the assembly line.
Take care my friend and I'm relieved that she's not injured.

I think he was more along the lines of the newer...more smaller...cars...(I shudder at even calling them cars...) Like the smart car and such. Seriously...a head on with a poodle in a smart car will probably total it.

It is weird to get out of a front end collision regain your thoughts, and notice the force you hit with actually knocked your truck lid open. On most of those cars you could actually see ripples in the rear quarter panels.
I would say the puddle jumpers are safe; however this truck will be fixable, a puddle jumper would be totaled, but safe.
Important thing is that crazy's wife is safe and sound. The truck will be fixed.
