Hmmm -- in 1997, i fell asleep in my cherry '84 Silverado with the cruise control on, as i drifted off the shoulder of I-35, the truck sensed the drop in speed and kicked in the tranny kickdown.

I woke up right before i jumped a large culvert and the wild ride began. (no seatbelt) On impact, the rearend housing tubes split from the carrier and one of the front A-arms folded in on itself.

I guess the good Lord occasionally shines his good graces upon the ignorant, because i was able to jog 3 miles back to a pay phone and call my mom. The police were searching the surrounding woods the next morning for a body because the truck looked so bad.

All i was out was the $4000 purchase price of the truck, as i carried liability insurance only on it ---- but it could have been much worse
