What do you think the dealership will do with those trucks.

...The truck swerved off the road, slammed into empty trucks and overturned on its side at Bob Tomes Ford in McKinney...
...Bob Tomes immediately ran to the center of the destruction fell to his knees and with his palms extend skyward exclaimed,
"Thank you Jesus!...Thank you, Thank you, sweet Jesus!"

The dealer will probably be happy to take the insurance payout and/or the writeoff on the trucks - selling them at any kind of price is difficult right now.

Its a shame a young trucks life had to go that fast but on the lighter side, the Oxyclean should make for a fast cleanup.

The damaged vehicles will probably get donated to the local fire department for training exercises.

That is one way for a FORD dealer to clear off his stock of 2008 trucks to make room for the 2009's!.............(LOL)
