Glad to see no serious injuries. That was a beautiful pickup, looked liked you had taken good care of her. Looks like Goldrush suffered the worst in the damage department. Hope you can get her repaired to your satisfaction.

 

I know I responded before but I wanted to say again that I am SO happy Aenea & the girls are alright. I feel bad for Goldrush too but compared to what maight have been it's a small price to pay. Yes our trucks are built Ford tough & it's times like this that I'm especially glad we have them.
Any word on the driver's condition at the time he hit Aenea? Was he drunk or just plain stupid & careless? I just hope he doesn't get off for this - looks like he deserves some punishment at least. Bet his Dakota was in even worse shape than your truck!
Take care Ed & if there's anything I can do other that keep you & your family in my prayers, please don't hesitate to ask. That's what friends are for!

Said it before but, really glad the family is okay. The truck can be replaced!

To bad about your truck I hope they put the guy that done it away for some time.

 

That is too bad about your truck, it was really nice looking. I will say one thing though, I am glad that I was paying attention yesterday on my way home from work, because I had a commuter bus pull out infront of me when I was doing 40 mph, and the roads were starting to get slick from the snow, and I managed to slow down and take the other lane to miss the bus. I had my headlights on, and my foglights as well, looks like I should be running with the offroad lights on, so that it is harder to miss me then.

 

That makes me feel sick just looking at it ... I've been there before. hope it all works out soon .
