Aw hell, buster, that sucks. :( Glad you're okay.

It's not... it's not totalled is it??

fraid so. Think I'll make a stop at Dr. tomorrow, left thumb is giving me trouble. Right knee, Right forearm has a nice knot. Left forearm and left leg has some bark missing. It's all about the insurance now. I only have liability. Try to get a photo of her car tomorrow.

Sorry to here that. One thing about sore bones, you'll be able to predict the weather now better than the guys on the news

Thanks. I'm 64 and have been blessed with that ability for a few years. Didn't need anymore. :headshake

29 year old truck? They'll total it for sure, because it ain't worth shit on their charts.
That sucks, man.... sorry to hear it.

just try to give the ole girl a proper burial -
Hell blow 'er up or sumpthin?

I think this is a good idea. Give the old girl a Viking funeral!

Either that or go all Mad Max (Road Warrior, to the US audience) post-apocalyptic death machine. Repair the mechanicals, (I see radiator leakage at least) and screw the body. Rip the hood off. Weld big spikes on the fenders. Shoot holes in the panels. Stick a shark-fin on the roof.
Course, you'll need to use it just for off road fun, but what else can you do with it?
Either way, we want photos.

Seriously, commiserations, man. A car you've had for 29 years ... you get attached to it.

Although ... odd coincidence that you just found your press clipping about your accident way back when, and then suddenly, this. Strange.

I loved my previous car , after having it for 11 years (didn't buy it new either) I was very attached to it also. Replaced it with the same model too, but it just "wasn't the same." This one's gotta go now too - After 4 years its still like an imposter somehow or a wannabe, I dunno. Hook me up LJ!

Back to Buster - How are you feeling this morning? You ok?

I was just kidding on the totalling. It was totalled before the accident.

Sore, might get a x-ray of left thumb.
Over 200k miles used no oil and dependable. Was a great way to Cull dates. "What you think I'm riding in that piece of shit!"

Oh, I'm not saying. That was clearly one awesome vehicle and I would be proud to drive it, if it was mine. But the rust...! I don't think it would have passed inspection in Pennsylvania.

Picked up police report while ago. Ain't life grand. This is verbatim from report! :wstupid: So it appears as if I hit myself. wtf.

Yep that silver color was bad for all vehicles that year.

Trebuchet the truck... and try see if you can hit it with a flying anvil!


Sucks though Buster, but glad you're not hurt too bad.

Retraction! The driver was a 17 year old boy. I assumed the lady that asked if I was ok was the driver. Sorry.
