Got T boned one night while doing about 45. Got spun around backward into the oncoming lane and hit two cars coming at me. Somehow I kept the rubber on the road. No seat belt. Busted the passenger side of the windshield with my forehead. Peeled the vinyl off the dashboard with my cheekbone. The bleeding wasn't too bad. The truck, a Toyota SR5, got totaled by the insurance company, but it ran and drove fine. The fiberglass canopy was toast. The upside is that I ended up with a Toyota Land Cruiser. The driver of one of the cars that hit me after the inital T bone had a daughter who lived nearby, and was a nurse, and showed up. She tended to my wounds, took me to her place, and put me to bed. I'll leave the rest up to your imagination. That's my sob story and I'm sticking to it.
Sold my friend an old '75 F-250 I had and one winter morning he barrel rolled it getting off the freeway. Funny thing was it never touched the ground except when the wheels were down. Two witnesses and a state trooper saw it. Trooper reportedly said it was the coolest roll over he ever saw. Not a hint of damage and the truck was still on the road and pointed in the right direction. My friend had to return home to change shorts.

I loved that truck and it hurts to see it all fucked up like that, especially as a scorecard.
Revenge is a bitch, huh?
It's a truck. If it bent or dented, or scratched somewhere, you're doing it wrong.
Is not bent...
I hate this keyboard.
Bent frame, bent everything.....
Bent driver....
Jeeez....you didn't even pop the glass out, Ken.....
Anytime I rolled a car (OK...it only happened ONCE) there wasn't a straight panel on it.
I have turned one tires up....was more pissed off than scared....my sympathies....
