    Wow, glad everyone is OK. I'll bet you won't forget that sound anytime soon. I was in a Taco a couple years ago with 4 other guys, when someone delivered about the same kind of hit on us, except it was the front quarter.

    My head would almost start aching for weeks everytime I thought about the souind of that crash.

    This happens more then you know. I feel sorry for these people and their illness, but really if they know their fucking blood sugar is low and what happens when its low, WHY THE FUCK DO THEY STILL DRIVE!? Its as bad if not worse then DUI.

    OME all around. SPC UCA. This and that.
    My Grandmother lived in a small town Exira Iowa and there was I guy ther e that lost his liscence because of something like this. He drove anyways had a siezure and run over and killed a child. Hate to say this but I agree with the above statement. Some disapline is needed if you have that condition.

    Looks like Toyota needs to make their trucks out of whatever alloy Dick Cepek uses to make wheels!

    Glad you made it out of that one. It hurts just looking at the pic.
