91 S10. Broken A/C. I loved that truck though.


An old guy pulled out in front of me on the highway. T-boned him.


Got a '98 Ford F150 similar to this one for basically no money with insurance. I got a crimson pinstripe down the side.

Rear ended a Chevy 1500 in my 96 Bronco. Drove away with just bumper and minor grille damage but the Chevy was FUBAR. Broncos are tanks

2006 Honda Civic - rolled 8-12 times according to police. Was young and stupid and trying to see how fast my car could go (at midnight on a rural highway)...hit 117 before lady backed into my lane. Didn't have time to react and swerved, lost control, and ended up upside down in the ditch on the other side of the 4 lane highway. Pics are on another computer

Not the truck I owned, but the same color, style, and rims as the one I had. (don't have a picture) 1972 Chevy C10

Bought mine for 900 bucks for a project, rebuilt the engine, new exhaust, paint, redid the interior and new rims and tires. Looked similar to this one


I had a black 1975 Chevy K5 blazer I bought for mud riding and rebuilt the engine in (don't an exact pic on this one either)



1993 z71 single cab with 35' buckshots, 3 speed aftermarket transmission and exhaust cut off at the headers, I had this one for mud riding also. (don't have a pic, all of these trucks pics were on my old phone which got wet).

1999 GMC z71 ext. cab with 6 inch lift, 35 inch tires, glasspacks, in dash dvd player with alpine door speakers and rockford fosgate subs, brush guard and winch. It was my daily driver in HS.

This is the truck I'm driving now, I've sold all of my other project trucks and traded in the 99 for a down payment on this one.




ETA I've never had a major wreck..I did run the 72 chevy off in the ditch while trying to pull the trick of spinning the truck around and throwing it in reverse while continuing to go in the same direction about 50mph on a wet road.

And I wrecked my 08 chevy z71 in panama city doing a U turn..got hit but all it did was cause a little bit of damage to the rear quarter panel which I got fixed.

Dont have pics of any, but I have had three wrecks.
I wrecked my 94 Cherokee in high school being stupid. My gf at the time was in there with me aggravating the shite out of me. Rear ended someone.

My second wreck wasnt my fault. I had a clean arse 98 Z71 and a drunk driver hit me. He was driving without head lights doing an estimated 70 mph in a 35.

I had my third wreck in my Ford Ranger while working delivering pizzas. I was looking the mailboxes for an address and hit a car coming over a hill. It wasnt a bad wreck though, I barely hit her.

Wide open on I-65 accelerator stuck on ford expedition. Brakes worthless Had about a full minute to process and troubleshoot before deciding to slam it in neutral which shot and killed engine, one full spin and landed safe as a baby. Barely a scratch on me, car a bit roughed up. God is good

Got in a nasty wreck a couple years ago with a drunk driver. Wife and I spent 5 days in the hospital. The other guy didn't make it.

I was driving a GMC Sierra diesel truck and the other guy was in a F150

Yea. He didn't have insurance or a license b/c he had a long history of DD. My wife is now a very nervous passenger and has real anxiety about road trips (we were on one). I developed a really bad fear of riding my motorcycle afterwards and sold it even though it was 800 miles away in my garage. I just couldn't stop thinking about the wreck every time I got on the bike.

Car wrecks to me and my loved ones is my biggest fear.


My sophomore year of high school I was driving home from prom the next morning and there was a chemical spill on a mountain road in Chattanooga. I spun out making a turn and was drilled head on from a F150. It was awful. Totaled my dad's Landrover and the truck as well. Luckily everyone walked away from it. We could have sued the city because someone had reported the chemical spill an hour before and they had enough time to shut the highway down but they hadn't.

My wreck left me with only a bad seat belt rash/bruise that I still have somewhat today. How bad were you hurt?

Slight spinoff: What wrecks are most dangerous? Head-to-head or getting t-boned are likely #1 and #2 in either order, followed by flipping?

I was kinda beat up. I don't bruise very easily, so I don't think I had any bruises. My neck was really sore.

I remember when we first got out of the car I thought this old man was gonna die. I was FREAKING out. Its remarkable we were all able to walk away.

Im no physics whiz - but the head on makes the most sense in just thinking about the physics of whats happening. I saw a documentary on crashes in NASCAR that discussed what is happening to the brain and brainstem when an individual is subjected to the forces one might experience in a head on collision or when going straight into a wall. It explained why they were so deadly.

Mine was a perfect T-Bone. The guy lost control and was sliding sideways at us on a 2 lane highway when we T-boned him.

I felt bad later, but I was so scared at first, I never even thought about checking on the man. My adrenaline was rushing so bad
