holy sh*t!! Glad you made it out alive, and you're right, somebody was watching over you. Sad to hear the other died, even though he was asking for it. Glad you're ok

Re: just totaled my 69 and almost totaled me

Re: just totaled my 69 and almost totaled me
 

You can say the Lord was in the driver seat in your truck! Dam that was one helluva hit especially that the metal on these things are not tin like Hondas and toyos. Well I am glad to see you are doing ok. Hope you heal up well and get plenty of rest.

Re: just totaled my 69 and almost totaled me
 

Wow, look at that damage. No wonder the other guy did not make it. Glad you made it.

A.P.

Re: just totaled my 69 and almost totaled me
 

Holy cr&p! Looking at dammage like that and the fact that you're still walking around makes me feel pretty safe in my old 68.
Glad you're ok, trucks can be replaced. Too bad about the other guy.

Re: just totaled my 69 and almost totaled me
 

I'm glad to hear you are OK. The pics bring back bad memories from about 12 years ago.

Re: just totaled my 69 and almost totaled me
 

wow, we are not talking cheap thin metal there, we all know how stout these trucks are. damage like that? wow.

compleat act of God that you are alive.

Re: just totaled my 69 and almost totaled me
 

Glad you made it out ok. With that kind of damage, I can't imagine what a new truck would look like in the same situation.

Re: just totaled my 69 and almost totaled me
 

Glad your ok.That was a hell of a wreck.

Re: just totaled my 69 and almost totaled me
 

Wow. Damn- where did the engine go. My condolences.

Re: just totaled my 69 and almost totaled me
 

wow dude i will pray for youa fast recovery that sucks about your truck and the other dude

Re: just totaled my 69 and almost totaled me
 

Glad you made it out. Thank GOD you weren't driving a S-10. These trucks I explain to my girlfriend all the time when she is driving mine that can drive thru something if she hits it. When it comes to drunk driving...I dont feel sorry for the other guy. He could have killed you. Get well soon dude.

Re: just totaled my 69 and almost totaled me
 

sry about your truck , and glad you made it through. this really hits home for me as i just lost a fellow coworker/friend of 10yrs on saturday from a drunk driver. the dd failed to pull over for police and a high speed pursuit went on for a while and the cops backed off, the guy ditched the cops, my buddy was at a traffic light on his way home from work to his family, when he was t-boned at estimated speed of over 1oomph. nedless to say he didnt have a chance, another coworker was with him and is in critical condition not looking good, and the dd died sunday from injuries sustained in the accident, the dd was 21 or 22 and his really bad choice just tore apart 3 familys. its a shame that this type of thing is just ganna continue to happen again and again. best of luck to a healthy recovery.

Re: just totaled my 69 and almost totaled me
 

you made it because you were in a tank. if you were in a little honda or sumthn. you would probably would have been a gonner. sorry to hear about that. im glad you made it, its harsh to say it but drunk drivers useually get what they deserve. ive slept in a back seat and truck bed many a night. its one thing to risk ones own life but moms drive their kids on those streets too. take care dude.

Re: just totaled my 69 and almost totaled me
 

I am very very sorry to hear that. I hope that all goes well and remember if you need anything from us on the board, let us know.

Re: just totaled my 69 and almost totaled me

Re: just totaled my 69 and almost totaled me

Re: just totaled my 69 and almost totaled me
