Clifton Forge? That is a beautiful area in the Allegheny mountains.
Just spent a week up there resting and relaxing.

For a county of 25K people , they put on a huge, Independence Day fireworks show that is bigger than most in ROVA. Missed that though.

Jack Mason Tavern has the best food in town. They have the best Dairy Queen I've ever been in.

Yes, that is it! He told me that he loves everything about the area, and the only drawback is swampass. Apparently it's a lot more humid than Utah, lol.

So my truck died a horrible death yesterday...worst part was that it was at the hands of another F150 and it was right after I got it all cleaned up.

Drunk guy rear ended it while it was parked across from my house. He hit it so hard it pushed four carlengths through the neighbor's black dodge and up onto the sidewalk. He told the cops he was only doing 15 in a 25...more like 70...frame is toast...

Virginia's an at fault state thankfully...will find out tomorrow if they had insurance from the police report.

Yeah, hard to figure out where to go from here...I want another truck but I'm so close to picking up my mortgage that I can't pull the trigger...and I'm gonna have zero credit once the mortgage hits for the first six months.

Oh man.... two Gen 10's down in one shot. Sorry man!

I'm surprised he couldn't see your flashy paint work.... I guess chugging Grandpa's cough syrup will make it hard to see.

Lol, it was actually why i went red with the hitch, for visibility...

Worst part was he had his girlfriend, his kid, and his friend in the truck...thankfully the kid was all right despite no child seat...his friend got pretty messed up though...looked like he took the windshield to the face.

Thankfully nobody died.

What a bummer...I mean, what are the chances...(?)

Yeah Red,- Bullseye or STOP!

Probably doesn't matter, more likley than not passed out at the wheel anyway...if alcohol was involved.

Might be salvageable, depends upon the frame. Is it just the left rear of did it take the right side with it? Seen frame shops do some amazing things. Check your area "Frame Shops" Find one where that's all they do.. There's a really good one not far from me, -Harolds Frame Shop. Been there since I was kid, good size shop , like 12 bays of so. They keep busy, passed by there every day for quite a few years. Anyway, just a though.
