here are a few pix of a truck i totaled back in 1989. i was 22 years old and had way to many beers in me when i rolled this truck. i locked up my brakes at 85 mph as i went thru a dip on a paved road and proceeded to do a 180 in my truck; as i slid off the road goin backwards i hit a dirt embankment on the side of the road at about 55 mph. this pole vaulted the truck thru the air in a piroet fashion. as i came back to earth after completing a full gainer in the air the rear of the truck planted itself into the desert floor upside down and smashed the back of the cab in. it then fliped into 1.5 barrel rolls before coming to a stop on its wheels on the side of a the hill with the lights shining into the night as dust, dirt and debris was everywhere.
i climbed out the drivers side window that was blown out, checked myself out for damage and to my absolute surprise i had now injuries whatsoever. my girlfriend climbed out of her window and did the same. we were so wasted we couldn't even remember if we had our seat belts on or not, but from the looks of things and the shape we were in we must have been wearing them. then we checked each other out for injuries and found that we had none. other vehicles arrived on the scene and said that i was drunk. so my girlfriend and i left the scene before the cops got there so as to avoid getting a DUI. i went home, got in my car and drove back to the scene of the accident and watched from a hiding spot in the desert as a flatbed tow truck winched my truck up and onto its bed and hauled my destroyed ford ranger off to the bone yard.
the next day i took these pix. i was never even charged with leaving the scene of an accident or anything because the only thing that got destroyed was my truck and a bunch of cactus. i just got sent a bill from the tow truck company and the wreckers storage yard for fees. my insurance company wrote the vehicle off as totaled and cut me a replacement check for the vehicle which was more than what i could have sold that peice of shit for before i rolled it. my girlfriend said she would never get in a vehicle with me again and she didn't. obviously that was then end of that relationship.
i can remember that while the accident was occuring everything went into slow motion, and i can remember holding onto the steering wheel really tight so as to try and keep my body centered in the cab of the truck in order to avoid injury. i have wrecked many other vehicles in my life mostly as a result of 4 wheeling incidents gone bad. i even rolled a BMW once and totalled it (sorry no pix of that one), but this accident here was the worst.
Hmmmm. Just thinking that in almost 30 years of driving I haven't had any real accidents and only one traffic ticket that I beat in court.
Back in 1986 I was driving a 78 Toyota Landcruiser and someone rolled into the back at about 3 mph while I was stopped at a stop sign bending the metal rear step but I didn't think to take pictures. In lieu of a picture I could vividly describe the slightly bent rear step but I suspect that no one would really be interested

Well, if you you mean that you rolled a truck while high on an intoxicating beverage, then yes, you are a high roller.

So, you drive about 30 yards across a grass covered berm without a road in sight (only a parking lot) to hit a tree dead on center that you had room to go around on either side. At least it looks like you kept the speed up while driving across the lawn there.

It was my understanding that this was the result of a test drive gone amuck at a dealership.
I have other photos from different angles. I didn't want to hog the thread with a bunch of them in a row. However, many might be interested in seeing a "door stop" split by a tree. If anyone wants to see other pics of this from other angles let me know and I will post.
Another fine example of the eletronics gizmos in a luxury crusier gone amuck. Any Viper driver would have gone AROUND the tree. Vette driver probably thought good 'ol AMERICAN STANDARD, KING OF SPORTS CARS can go through the tree.
Damn, I've known ppl on this board that have been banned for saying shit like that.
that's fucked up.
I didn't threaten him, please give me an example of where someone was banned for what I said.
He admitted to driving drunk, I don't have any patience for individuals who choose to drive while impaired. How much you wanna bet he still does it to this day? You might care if a fucking drunk idiot like himself crashed into someone you cared about and killed them
Furthermore, would anyone miss FF's "look at me I'm a fucking idiot" threads?
Now go pray for god to have mercy on my soul or something. :redbeard:
