Looks like the curse is not only for the STOTM.

I just wrecked my ranger on black ice coming home from Portland today. My GF and I are fine. As far as the ranger I couldn't have wreck it any better. The only thing I did was smash the Left side and wrapped the bumper around the frame but the frame looks straight so no totaling. I'll post pics tomorrow when I get it back from the towing company. I hit it when I went over a bridge and my truck went side ways. I followed what everyone told to do when you slide. went slow and turned it left, then right, then left, then into the bank. Luckily a Navy reserve guy in full uniform was following us and gave us a ride home.

Sounds like you should swap to a mid 30s ford truck body now, don't think anybody has done it before but would be sweet lol.

That's all that happened.
Time to start looking for body parts.
And I guess I didn't bend my bumper as bad as it looked that night.

not too bad, can we get a picture with the fender/grille/bumper removed? lets see what the core support looks like. funny how it looks like my first ranger after it was involved in a hit and run, it was fixed though..
