05 Tacoma vs. 18 Wheeler

Thanks!!!

 

I'm sure you guys are right!!! I don't get much sleep with her around anyways.

 

i hear ya! i vist my family down there often. i love it in greensboro. i would like to find a job down there and move there!

 

Just saw this thread. I must agree with everyone else "That was one hell of a wreck"
you are indeed very lucky
take care of yourself and
post pics of your new truck when you get it

 

that is insane man! glad you made it out okay though! hope for a good recovery although it sounds like your doing pretty well considering how bad of an accident it was

 

X10. I am sure everyone would love to hear about YOUR progress as well. We have a wonderful Tacoma family here!

Most vehicles you cant even tell what they are/were after tangling with 18 wheelers. I have to say, I am lovin my truck even more!

 

Focking shit man! those pics made my stomach turn a bit. good to hear your doing alright. The taco was crushed everywhere except the drivers side. o.o thats a taco looking out for you right there.

 

Time to lay it out boys and girls:
1) Godspeed, lucky and god bless for the circumstances that keep you on the planet
2) I have a quadraplegic brother who has been in a chair for 28 yrs from an accident, so count your blessings as rough as they have been
3) I run a truck fleet, and carry a cdl, let's appreciate the job those big rigs do all day and night. The laws of physics are in their favor, but these are hard for them too... Hopefully, the driver is ok too..

Everyone goes home..., it is a good night. I have seen too much grizzly shit in my short 40 yes on this planet, and this is rough....

Re-read #1 and sleep tight! New (or used) taco will rumble along just fine.

 

Lrgrnr... Nice post, hard to believe you are 23... Cool thing about this community!

 

Man you have done something good in life. Trucks can be replaced but your life cannot!!! Glad all is working out for you and hope for a fast recovery. Just think, you will start over fresh with a brand new truck.

 

^^
Yep

No matter what your beliefs are, I don't think you can give the truck much credit on this one Glad you are alive and recovering.

My grandpa was T-boned in the passenger door in his 69 Mustang back in the early 80's. The dash buckled up, the roof buckled down, and the bucket seats were touching each other. Had grandma been in the passenger seat that day there is no way she would have survived. Sometimes there is just something protecting us that we don't understand.

 

Sorry! I didn't mean to upset you. I just thought that it was ironic that i chose to screen shot that particular one, then weeks later it shows up on here. Again I wish you the best of luck with your recovery and apologize if i have upset you in any way.

 

Hey man you didn't upset me at all. It was just a shock to se different pics. Thanks for posting them. I saved the pic you posted if you don't mind.

 

Health update, I've been taking physical therapy for the past several weeks. Its been a tough road but I am progressing well. I finally feel like I am starting to heal. The nerve damage pain is calming down. For a while, it felt like I had no skin on my leg from the ankle down to my toes. That feeling isn't totally gone but has calmed down a lot. I am walking without crutches or a cane now. But I have to wear a PTO brace on my foot to keep it in place. I have drop foot which is a form of being paralized and have no control of it, but at least I'm walking. My back is healed, my ribs are healed. Everyday I seem to find another peice of glass in my arm or head which I have to dig out. I'm driving as well and it's amazing how you see everything happening in front of you that you took for granted before. I'm not sure if I will ever be 100% but I'm just glad I can stand and walk. Maybe I will prove the doctors wrong and one day I'll run.

 

Glad to hear your recovery is going well. Keep working hard and staying positive and you'll be fine.

 

Thanks Man, I definately will

 

You're welcome, im glad that you were ok with me posting them.

 

I certainly was, It just took me back a few steps when I saw them. It's never easy to see something like that knowing it was yourself that went through it.

 

Hey guys, I know it's been awhile since I last updated. Things get pretty hairy when an accident was your fault. But just to let you guys know, I'm doing good. I'm recovering slowly but I am now able to walk without any kind of assistance. The pain in my leg has subsided and now I only have sparatic pains in my calf and foot that feel like someone jabbing me with an ice pick. My girl is still with me and has been through a lot with me. I can't run yet, doc says I will never run, but going to prove him worng. Ribs are healed, back is healed. Still pulling pieces of glass out of my head and arm. But I'm doing GOOD!! It's almost time to get that new Tacoma. I've been anxiously waiting.

 

Great to hear about the progress!

Getting back to a Taco will be icing on the cake after everything you've been through.
