Two wrecks in a week............

[shadetree]

and one of them was me. We have a loop around the city, and a new road just opened a couple of months ago that dead ends into the loop. I have now seen two rear end collisions in the last week. One of them was me, saturday. Bent the shit out of my rear bumper on the Explorer.

The new road ends in a very bad place, curve with a slight rise, and no right exit lane. Dipshit in front of me hit the blinkers, brakes, and turned right all at the same time. I slowed, quickly, and the double dipshit behind me in a 94 Lexus had dropped his cell phone, and was picking it up at the same time. Bam. I think the city street department will hear about this one. shady

Yeah, I think I'm ok. I have had a heacache since it happened, but don't know if thats the cause. The guy had insurance. I will call tomorrow. I love this little truck, ideal for what I do, but it's kinda been bad luck. A month and a half after I bought it, the damn thing caught on fire from a defective mirror switch. There is a service bulletin, but the bulletin is for the four door not the 2 door, and Ford wouldn't help me with it.

I sold it to my daughter-in-law about four years ago. She never paid me for it. About a month after she had it, she turned the damn thing over with the kids in the car. She was ran off the road, and hit the brakes for an instant flip.

She recently gave it back to me. They have a new truck and no longer need it, and didn't pay for it anyway. I'm only out 4 years of use, but thats ok, they needed transportation at the time. Sorry about the ramble. shady
