Like my parking job?

Postby Mean Gene » Sun Dec 22, 2013 9:23 am

Had a war with some ice today...and lost. Could have been worse...a lot worse. Almost took a bath. Not looking good for my rig.

Work for me on the new Tapatalk. Uninstall and reinstall and try again.

Glad that no one was hurt. Looks like they will be able to fix your truck. Ice sucks, except in drinks.

Trying to figure out how you got on the side...
Think I got it figured out.
Lost control a bit, steered into the bank rather than towards the water...flipped on side.
Am I close?

Glad to see you walked away. Sorry, the pain will set in on Monday.
You'll be alright.

Glad you are ok. At the end of the day it sucks but being able to walk away is the biggest blessing there is. It must be a Ford thing. I parked my last truck the same way.

Glad you are ok, it's damn scary parking a truck like that! Had a buddy park a suburban like that a few years ago with a buddy and I in the truck.

That would be one of those few moments in life where you will soil your pants. Glad you didn't have to take a polar bear bath.

I am kind of impressed with the strength of that rear door spring though.

Gene, you know there are much easier ways to clean all the shit out of your truck right?


Glad you walked away and all are safe.

Glad to hear you're ok.

Now the important question: were any of your hand carved decoys harmed in the accident?

Terrifying ordeal to go through...

"No decoys were harmed during the wrecking of this truck." :lol:


Had backed up and stopped to look at something. Started forward and the ass end started heading for the river. Goosed the throttle to get all the tires turning and it kept heading for the river. Finally got a little traction and it moved sideways. Then it grabbed and I shot across the road and climbed the bank. Released the throttle but it was too late and the truck turned onto it's side and slowly slid into the tree. Without the tree it was a 20 foot drop into the river.
