Don't fall asleep at the wheel!!

Well unfortunately I totaled my truck this week. I fell asleep at the wheel coming home from a late night hockey game and hit a part of a rock wall right next to the road and then rolled onto the driver side. Luckily I am pretty much not injured at all because I was wearing my belt (aside form belt burns and bruises and a little sore). The truck took out the rock wall (which was filled with concrete) so it's was a lot better then hitting a tree or something, but I seriously think If I had been driving anything else though (like my Audi which got totaled by an old man a month before) I would have been much more seriously injured.

By the way if any one is wondering what happens to a body lift in a major crash the answer is it held on well, even though it did bend some.

2 cars totalled in one month?!?!?!? Wow...... Some bad luck going on over there.

I don't know if it's bad luck or good luck because I survived both of them fine which I am very grateful for. The truck was actually hit by someone else on the ice back in Feb and borderline totaled then too but I scaled back the claim so I could keep it. So so far 2011 has been a bad year for my cars.
 






eeek! that looks pretty dang bad. glad your ok! You looking at getting another explorer or are you ready for something different?
