Whoa, check this out!

So I'm driving to work yesterday and if I haven't mention it before my truck's suspension rides like a diving board. Anyways in the middle of down town Phoenix rush hour in the far left lane I hit a pot hole, which of course rattled the entire truck like crazy. Well I guess the ol battery tray must have been a bit on the rusty side becaue it gave out completely. As it crumbled it sent the battery in to the fan at driving RPM which caused a sort of explosion. It took me about 2 minuets to get pulled off the road with a cab full of toxic burning battery acid smoke. I was able to pop the hood and let the smoke clear, then limp it to work. It even started after work to drive home slowly and carefully (those die hards really do die hard). This is the carnage, the engine compartment is decomposing before my eyes. I sprayed it with water and baking soda to stop it for now, I guess we will be detailing the engine compartment earlier than I had anticiapted.
