i once did a 360 on an icy, empty back road, somehow didn't go off the road, and just kept on driving forward. it probably looked super cool except for all the piss running down my legs.

I did this a few years ago but there was actually a car coming in the other direction and I just kinda circle strafed around them without hitting anything or going off the road it was badass

I wrecked a few months ago and insurance wouldn't pay my claim now I'm paying a lot of money for a truck I cant drive. At least I'm not dead though. So I've got that going for me, which is nice.

i met a girl at a hotel halfway between us for my birthday and a heavy blizzard hit like 10 minutes before i got in my car

just kept driving because i know i get action about as often as any other gbs failure and i also did a full 360 on a highway in a half a foot of snow, never touched the brakes, just rode it out and kept driving without even leaving the road

December 1st of this year my brand new Ford F150 was parked at my girlfriends house on a public street. We were awoken at 1:00 in the morning to a loud crash. A drunk driver in a 97 Volkswagen Jetta ran straight into the back of my truck.

Totaled his vehicle, the front end was pushed all the way up to the windshield. Airbags deployed, he seemed to be ok. He was intoxicated enough that he thought my girlfriend and I were in the truck because he kept asking us if we were ok under heavily slurred speech. Cops arriving on the scene estimate he was going 45-50MPH which means he also ran a stop sign to reach those speeds. Pushed my truck forward 3 feet in the impact.

The good: He didn't get seriously injured and he has insurance.
The bad: He did 15,300 worth of damage in the initial estimate. He buckled the frame in two spots, however, it's still driveable. The truck will have to be taken off it's old frame and put onto a new frame. I'm going to have to pursue the insurance company for diminished value as it's a brand new $60,000 truck with 10,500 miles on it.

I just can't believe that Ford F150s cost $60k. I thought they were made for "the workin' man." Yet they cost more than a Mercedes? lmao we should've allowed the American auto industry to fail.

I got hit by a truck once. Really wouldn't recommend it. Can't stand to be driving next to one now. I'm always afraid it will try to merge into my lane like the other one did without knowing I'm there. I either hang back or try to speed by them.

Actually, you know what, you see a truck, just drive off the road.

a fully loaded f150 is 60 grand yes, thats top of the line tho

you can get one for 29k

one time a long time ago a drunk dude in a jeep hit my honda parked outside in the street. im not sure how fast he was going but it was a very loud bang, then he tried to drive off but he was too drunk and retarded cuz the police happened to be nearby

it basically wrecked the trunk, and the insurance company gave my dad a check to fix it. he did not fix it, he took an axle grinder and in typical eastern european fashion made a very ugly car. my dad made money because he probably spent 40 dollars on repair materials. you should have seen how ugly it was.

oh when i was 16 i didnt look when i turned left out of pizza hut and a really goony looking man in a small weird japanese car hit my truck on the driver side...im sorry goony man you didnt deserve that.

You should meet a "working man" (or engineer/management types who like to think they're "working men") sometime. $60k trucks are common. Well until the point where you're the working man who has to get into your bosses $60k truck and bring your own shovel and reflective vest.

I'm as annoying as the high-pitched whine of my motorcycle, desperately compensating for the lack of substance in my life.
Last winter I was driving my 4x4 Dodge to work at 5am and it was icy. I hit a frost heave and my suspension unloaded and I did a 45/50mph 180 and it was p crazy. Ended up partially off the road backwards hung up on the snow bank over an embankment. A guy with a bigger truck passed by and pulled me out. He was kinda surprised when I turned around and went the opposite way I was facing.

This reminded me of something.

A couple years ago I was driving home from work, and I was living kind of on the outskirts of town, in the woods. The road was completely iced over, so I was going pretty slow, and this giant pick up truck comes flying up behind me. He zooms right past (it wasn't even a passing area), and flies on by. I watched him get further and further away, and as he got to the end of the road, he had to make a right turn. It was dark out, so all I really saw was his headlights suddenly light up the trees, and then disappear. I got to the end of the road and pulled into my driveway, which was on the corner, and watched the dude struggle to get his truck out of the woods and up the hill that he had slid right down.

It felt good.

you can actually inflate your scrote pretty safely with sterile saline, syringes, needles, and aseptic technique. its a niche kink iirc

the saline just slowly gets absorbed into your blood but in the meantime you got a big round smooth distended nutsack
