    So, first off yes, I ran into a parked car.

    If you ever have had Sonic, then you know they use Styrofoam cups. Well Styrofoam cups easily penetrate. With my keys in the cup holder and putting my drink in the cup holder I pierced a hole on the bottom. When I picked it up for a nice refreshing drink little did I know It was going to be the most painful refreshing sip I could have. As I go for that refreshing taste, I start to realize a waterfall of soda coming from the bottom, frighten that the soda is going to get all over my brand new truck, I take my eyes off the road and contemplate throwing the drink out the window... looking for my automatic window adjuster, the next thing I realize I'm rolling on my side air bags deploying.... I was traveling 20-30mph and when I hit a F-150 my truck sort of crawled over his back tire and flipped my truck.

    She was the best Truck I've owned. I haven't heard back if they are going to repair or if it's a lost cause. I got the truck for 26k. The insurance lady said the more its worth the better chance it'll get repaired... But this just really sucks... Keep your eyes on the road guys or you'll be me the idiot who can't drive.

    BUCKLE UP! It makes it harder for Aliens to pull you out of your Truck.
    Sonic will be opening soon in Buffalo. I can't wait to see the carnage.

    Damn, sorry bud.
    Shit happens, but I know your kicking yourself for it.
    At least no one was hurt, that's the best part.


    Who knows, if you wanted to be a total jerk you could sue sonic. If some lady can sue McD for her coffee cub not coming with a warning label there might be enough to get a settlement for another 26k!

    Just kidding, don't be a dick haha

    Gosh Skylar, I had a bad day but now my problems somehow seem easier to manage. I really appreciate your self-responsibilty attitude. That alone should rise your good karma meter a few points.
