Crap. Back to the Future!

Think I'm shell shocked at the moment or something like that... Went up town to sneak a couple potash bowls before it get's too late. On the way back about a mile from home, a wrecker passed me in the opposite direction loaded up.. Another truck further ahead with it Hazards on. Began to slow down and BOOM! Nailed a monster chuck hole dead on which has claimed one truck , one SUV before me.

Impossible to see because of road conditions.. (wet , way too much glare to make anything out at that particular spot. street lights, whatnot. Both Dodge and SUV had front end damage. And both quit running, wouldn't fire back up. (an inertia episode I expect). The Dodge from what could tell, lost both links and wrapped the stabilizer bar..mangled twisted. That took some force getting that bar to rotate like that.

Police already on their way.

Btw the way, I may have been going a little slower... the 98 didn't even loose a center cap.

These trucks rule,
Love hearing a story like that. Makes me proud to drive the blue oval.

Back in high school a guy I knew got rear-ended at an intersection. He told the insurance company it messed up his transmission, and they paid for that too. That was some fraud for sure.

As often as it comes up, we really could use a "Your GEM is getting wet" sticky thread....

I'd have to do a search, but I'd bet 3 or 4 threads in 2017....
