    So, I used to be a member on here as some folks may remember but two years ago today I wrecked my 07 TRD off road. Ever since then I have wanted to get back into a Tacoma. At the time of the wreck finances were tight and insurance didn't pay nearly enough for me to get another one so for the time being I bought a 2012 Mazdaspeed 3. It was a fun car and I loved driving it. Problem was, I was settling I really missed the Tacoma and the Toyota world community. The mazdaspeed community is full of assholes, basically every speed3 owner I ever met was a dick. So after much research and two years of finding the right deal I finally landed the right truck for me. I am happy to be back and can't wait to see what this truck has in store for the family and I. By the way check out the pics of my old truck if you ever have safety concerns about your truck...I walked away with a concussion and bruised lung, I stayed in the hospital one night. It was painful but I'm alive. I hit a spot of ice in town the back end came around on me and front end jutted into the median and hit a drainage canal that ran perpendicular to the road and rolled the truck a few times. New truck is at the bottom.

    Welcome back. I think I speak for a lot of us when I say it makes us feel good were driving tacos when you can walk away from a wreak as bad as yours.

    I'm an injury claim adjuster for a major insurance carrier. Is it okay if I use your pictures when someone making in injury claim for a $400 impact accident claims they were severely injury in a "really hard impact" accident ? Those same shysters usually claim pain of 10 out of 10 to the physicians too. Ten out of ten... ever had a 9 pound baby without even an aspirin ? That's 10 out of 10, idiot. I could go on and on and on....

    Lol yes sir you are more than welcome to use what ever pictures you need trust me though I was in pain for about a month but managed and moved on with my life and I'd have to say I'm doing a little better these couple of years later. Thanks everyone for the concern it's good to be back in a taco. Hopefully this one has a happier ending.

    Yeah, I have no doubt you were sore for quite a while. I'm just wondering how you were not more seriously hurt given the way the roof caved in. I'm guessing while rolling, your head went to the side, around the level of the dashboard and that saved you.

    If you don't claim 10/10 pain, they will not give you morphine... How else are you supposed to enjoy your hospital visit? Have to keep your story consistent you know.

    Haha... funny. I've had morphine before, it's a WONDERFUL drug and I see why they give it to dying and severely injured soldiers on the battlefield. Wow.
