    Hmmm... going to sell those wheels .... ?



    I'm joking. Glad you're alive. Actually amazed the wheels are fairly intact. Since the Taco is meteor-proof, I'd like to see the big rig :D

    Did you buy a lottery ticket?


    We had a response not to long ago similar to that one... We had to cut the roof off and pull the dash to get the victim out. Never heard if she made it, hope she did.


    Glad you made it man! You obviously have a purpose to be here.

    haha, I never saw the big rig but I was told the only thing it did was bend the bumper back and tore off the passenger side fuel tank. The truck company never even filed a claim against my insurance.

    That is absolutely amazing. Someone was definitely watching out for you. Who cares about the truck? You can get another one in a heartbeat. Don't let that part bother you.

    :pray: for a speedy rehabilitation

    You got really lucky. If you had gone more head on there would probably still be pieces of you in that truck

    Damn, almost makes you wonder if it didn't help you out that you were asleep. I'm sure your body was relaxed when you hit vs. you trying to stiff-arm the wheel.

    Glad your ok and glad the girlfriend stayed home.

    I saw your truck a while back on ridesafely and took a screenshot. It is by far one of the worst taco wrecks i've seen! Glad to hear you made it out of that one! Best of luck with your recovery!

    Wow!!! I never saw my truck after the crash. My brother-in-law took pics for me. These pics look worse than the ones I have. Those pics you posted make me cringe even more. I can't believe this. I am really sick to my stomach!!
