Well..I guess its time to come clean =/

Mind u this happened about 5 days ago..I have been down about it and havent rly let yall in about all wat happen. Yes I was in a wreck with my blue truck. I put this on another forum I am in thats local where I live. This is wat happened

Ok guys lol. I haev offically stoped driving.....as of rgiht now. I wont drive ever again. Heres the deal, I was comming out from the car wash my friends were having for school. ok....BTW this is at the TacoBell/KFC Parkin lot. So I am gonig to exit.....now rgiht now..think of hthe letter " T * I was going towards teh exit onto Midkiff..when i looked back to wave bye to my friends..I turn around and i see a mustang. and as soon as I saw it...we hit. No time to stop no time to have the impulse to stop. He was lookin away as well =/ There wasnt a single tire sweak from braking. He cut his hand...minor not bad at all. and my knee got cut and is quite sowlen as of rgiht now lol. Lets jsut say going 25 and hitting the bottom of ur dash with ur knee in a 78' sucks the big toe lol. My damages are teh following...

Drivers side Fender is screwed
Drivers side door wont open
Whole front end it shot
Pass. side Fender is totaled
Pass door is warped
Hood is bent up 3 inch's
Fan shroud is gone
Fan is bent
Inside fendor is tore up bad

Thats its i guess. Pretty much...we both wrerent rly paying as mcuh attention as we should have been. Its my own fault and I gotta live with it. Only glad no one was hurt that bad. As far as legally whos fault it was we dont kno being it was on private property and tehres no sing to be like oh..he didnt do this or w/e. So I dunno yet. And we also dont kno if were gonig to even keep the truck now. Dont kno alot of thigs rgiht now. Just glad it wasnt in my new truck thats all. So yea...count one up on the board....this is wreck #9. later yall.

to bad this didnt happen before your truck got hit-n-run'd. you could add it to the insurance claim for that

i'm sure you'll figure out what to do next. if it were me, i would feel awful and want to never drive again too.

Hey man, seriously dont totally bum yourself out on this one. I know it sucks that the truck is fuxored up but accidents happen. At least it was an accident and you werent out screwing off or racing. And at least nobody was hurt. You arent a bad person after this and it doesnt make you a bad driver at all, **** happens. It just sucks when it happens to you.

dang You do have bad luck man!

Don't bum yourself about it, what has happened has happened, and rolling in your own muck never helped anyone...

The truck, while a prized possession, isn't your meaning of existance, it can always be replaced Its best to move on, and get over it as quick as you can.

fixed it for you!

seriously, i've been driving for 8 years, and i havent had that many, and i do it for a hobby. maybe not driving for a while will help you, at any rate, sounds like maybe you need to pay more attention to what you're doing when you're behind the wheel.

Is the goat okay??

Sorry to hear about your accident! Remember, if you LIKE the truck, don't junk it based on dollars to repair!
