So I recently bought a brand new Ford F150 (about a week ago, you've seen it already). I was beating it hard off road, but it was a stout truck. I finally found a weakness. I was driving down a side road near my house that was pretty dry. Little did I know that their was a patch of black ice on the road that I couldn't see in time. I hit the patch at 45, spun, and rolled. When the truck came to a stop, it had rolled one and a half times into the ditch, upside down. Luckily, all the windows weren't shattered, so I didn't have freezing water rushing past my head until I kicked the windshield out the rest of the way. The truck is pretty ****ed up. I don't know the extent of the damage (it's still in the ditch, actually). I came out of it okay, just a few scratches. I was actually standing on the undercarriage of the truck when the police came to check it out. I can't tell what the cost of the repair will be, or even if it is repairable. Hopefully insurance will cover it. I'll see if I can get some pics after school of the truck and it's recovery from the ditch.

 

That's terrible.

I'm not sure I understand the "weakness" of your truck, though...

A bad roll and you survived unharmed...sounds like strength to me.

Glad to hear you are OK.

 

this isnt good. man that makes about three or four here lately. glad to hear you made it ok.

 

So, you leave your truck upside down in a ditch to come here and post about it?

Anyway, glad you are ok.

 

black ice is a bitch

 

You know her too? She screwed me over, tell her i want my money...

 

Sorry to hear about your truck.If it's as bad as it sounds I would hope they total it and you can get a new one.I know I wouldn't want it back if rolled over. Glad you're ok.

 

Nassty, how is that GN doing?

 

That sucks, glad to hear your alright.

 

Horrible..glad your alright

 

The GNs are good.Unfortunately we got some snow the other day so I won't be able to drive'em for a while. I'm having boost withdrawals already.There's nothing like 25psi of boost with alky injection.

 

So, the next time I'm in ME, how about take me for a ride in either one?..

As a matter of fact my family and I were just up there 3 weeks ago, and we love that area.

 

No prob. ,where abouts were you in ME?

 

glad to hear your ok, that thing is totaled, and your better off why would u want a brand new truck with that kinda repair work done to it anyway...

 

Portland and Freeport. I dropped about $800 in Freeport.... It's very easy to do there.
