well crap not again!!!
well friends. i was on my way to the tackle store. when low and behold a young girl cuts a no look u-turn. in the middle of hwy 49-a heavily traveled 2 lane-i seen her turn off but she cuts around right in front of me. i am going about 60 and well i have a close encounter with a new volvo. totalling both my truck and her daddy's volvo. and air bags are not fun at all. we both walked away for the wreak unscathed.
i found my crank shaft pulley lying in the road. which i scanned and sent to varius members of this forum. it is snapped in half. the impact was awesome it spun the volvo 360 degrees.my skid marks were 16 feet from impact and 90 feet afterwards.the driver side front wheel on my truck was relocted to under the driver side door. but fear not i shall fish the saturday club tourny.. zooker

Well then I guess zook if her Daddy had a new volvo he had insurance right?
I've seen too many mistakes like that - always been plain lucky so far.

Hey just glad you got out of that with no physical injuries. i will tell you about my wrangler being totaled two days after making final payment. Insurance gave me 14G's went and got another one two weeks later. Wife and I didn't have a scratch. We did a 360 on two tires...wife thinks I am a great driver for keeping the car from flipping over. I didn't do anything but hold on for dear life.
Just glad to hear you are OK... Peter |

Did you try to perform any kind of CPR on her after the wreck? Well anyway, I am glad your alright as alright as you will ever be anyway.If her Daddy could afford a Volvo, he could also afford a better lawyer, maybe its a good thing you didn't have the boat with ya.My buddy is going through hell here, he got hit out on the lake by 4 drunken Philly, Pa. kids in a rental boat,It totaled out his 2 month old boat and now that the new one is in, they are not wanting to pay up.He had to claim it on his insurance so the insurance company will go after the rental place and his insurance company, meanwhile he is still without a boat.P N J
