Just got the call from Farmers that they are going to fix dad's Explorer.. Accident happened 12/5 and that fly by night insurance company (ACCC) wouldn't answer any calls from anyone after they offered 1000 dollars and dad keep the vehicle (5400 in damages)... Finally dads insurance picked it up as a uninsured claim and i'm taking it to get fixed in the morning.

Coy, I have to say, you have some very creative ways to brag on the EB!
The kid probably hit the gas, heard a minivan coming at him so he matted the gas pedal, after waiting for what seemed like hours, the turbos finally spooled up enough to make a pound or two of boost and got the truck to move out of its own way. That's why he took so long to hit the brakes.

You're right Jim not a problem I have with my 5.0 either

Yea they are, They said this is the first time they flat out cant get a hold of a insurance company. Farmer's said they were going to treat it as her having no insurance and go against her to recoup the money they were out.

Dad asked if they understood that it has 5400 dollars of damage on a vehicle that books at 4000 dollars in excellent condition and the guy said yes
