I read in the paper this morning that too many people are talking on their phones while driving.

I just shook my head.
(then I stood on the brake and turned the page)

It wasn't the lack of ABS, it was a loose nut behind the steering wheel...

Not blaming you, but editorializing...I'm getting tired of seeing nice trucks get mashed because they aren't driven or modded properly. Saw a beeeeeeauuuuuuuuuutiful Harley Spec Ed that had a totally shot suspension because the bug wheels and tires were slapped on without any thought of how much weight they add. Brakes, all steering components, shocks, EVERYTHING was f'ed up because this idiot would only spend the $$$ for wheels and tires, and not to do the job right.

okay, sorry....rant mode off

Yeah, I saw that article too..I was reading it over your shoulder headed down the interstate... I didn't finish it because you turned off, so if you could tell me how it ended, I'd appreciate it.

I read this thread, and then got in my rig, got up to 25, and stood on the brake.

If I went 50 ft., then I'm a jelly donut.

I'd say you were either way to close to begin with to the truck, or your full of


Either way, sorry you wrecked a nice truck. Glad you're ok.
