smashed up my daily driver...

young girl tried to make it into walmart across 2 lanes of traffic...she failed.

Just about full on t boned her in my explorer.

After I hit and woke up cause i got knocked out........I was like hmmm...

....air bags didn't go off???
....where the hell am I???
....why am i still rolling (had to stop the truck, i was rolling toward a drainage ditch)
....WOW, GLAD I WASN'T DRIVING MY LIGHTNING!!!

I seem to be fine and my truck might be fixable. With the damage it did to my truck, I think my lightning would have desintergrated.

i had a chick rearend my show truck (when it was my dd) it was snowy and she pushed me out into 2 lanes of oncomming traffic. I was sitting still and she hit me doing 30ish. Snapped my head back and i blanked out for a second. Next thing i know im staring at headlights. Chewed her *** out untill the local po po got there.

I'm almost thankful for the stupidity of my last accident, as it's what got me this truck. I was on the left lane of a four lane divided highway. I'm slowing down, and this civic two cars back doesn't realize this. Dumbass swerves into the right lane, off the road, and then tries to swerve back onto the road, only he oversteers and literally t-bones my truck, totaling it. Luckily neither of us were hurt, and his civic was barely scratched (scuffed the front bumper and broke a headlight...wtf), but the passenger side of my truck was completely totaled.
