well yester day as some of you western new yorkers know it was snowin and there was a considerable amount of slush. as u all know know this thread is useless without pictures so to entice you I have pictures of the tree.
the story is I was traveling on a some what snow dusted road with my little brother and just before the end of it is a soft soft curve i was going the speed limit with cruise on and set. just before the curve i tapped the brake pedal to shut off cruise just as I was getting to the curve my passenger tire hit some slush and pulled the whole truck into the path of a tree (see pics above) so seing how both of us were not wearing seat belts so a head on collision was out. I slammed the brakes with inoperative abs and the rear of betty swung out. during all this i was steering in the direction that I wanted to go and was warning by brother to "brace for impact" then boom. everything inside the ex shifted violently. included with the shifting was some crumpling especially where my feet were placed, fortunatly the brake pedal stopped my feet from being crushed. My brother was also fortunate in the sense that he only suffered brom a sprained hand (the hand that he braced with). We both were able to walk out of the ex with a minor cut on my leg and my brother had as I said before a sprained hand. I will have more pics of betty later on today
