Assuming "Steve Corley" is his real name, and if he lives in the greater little rock area, it must not have been too majorly stupid. I haven't seen anything about it in the local papers.

Hold My Beer and Watch this.

I was going home from a Fish Fry, and had passed on the KEG. Very narrow, crooked county road. On coming headlights kept me from seeing a 30 mph curve sign, and I enter the curve at about 45 mph. I dropped the right front wheel off the pavement. Becasue of the curve, I had to correct quickly. I got it headed for the ditch on the left, then managed to get it pointed to the ditch on the right. My right front tire went off the road, the frame hit the pavement, and the truck pivoted on that contact point. Both left side tires where on a very steep slope. It then rolled over on the roof and left side. The bed of the truck took a lot of the damage. I was hanging upside down by the seat belt, feeling pretty stupid.

The window tint kept the driver's window in place, I cut my hand on a piece of the rear window.

I had not been drinking, and was wearing my seatbelt. I am going to just wait for the 2008 trucks to come out. I have a 98 Expidition that is still in good shape to drive till then. If my insurance is too high, I will just drive the Expedition for the next 3 years, and only carry liability on it. Up till now, I have only been paying about $800 per year for full coverage insurance with a $250 deductable. I will try to add more pictures.

I am thinking about a Dark Stone Larriet for the next one.

WEAR your Seatbelt!

ya, Steve was lucky he didnt get hurt, I didnt see his wreck but drove out to where it happened the next day and it looked like someone took a skidder off the side of the road and cleared out all the sapplings As he said he had been to a get together where there was a keg and was probably the only one there that didnt take a drink. So kudos to him for that

I knew he had done something bad when he called me early the next morning and offered to swap his '04 FX4 SCrew straight up for my '05 XL Reg cab
