Holy Crap!
I came home for lunch....maybe I shouldn't go back to work now...
I'm glad no one was hurt, or your spare.
In light of the recent traffic-related developments involving posters, I thought I'd post my little bit of morning excitement:
This morning, I was driving up I35 north of San Marcos. They are (slowly) scarifying the pavement and resurfacing the road with a hotmix overlay. I saw the change in finished pavent to scarified surface, and figured that they tapered the pavement down to the elevation of the old surface. Wrong.
I hit the bump so hard (at 70 mph, the posted speed limit) that it snapped the cable that held my spare tire. A 265/75R16 tire at 80 psi on a steel rim then bounced up & flew 50 feet in the air, landed in between a little red car and a white semi w/ a van trailer. They swerved to avoid it, it bounced up and landed on top of the semi trailer, bounced up and either hit the overpass, went completely over the overpass, or both, and landed in the ditch (luckily) on the other side of the bridge.
Luckily, no one was hurt or damaged their vehicle, other than my spare tire holder. My spare was still aired up and undamaged.
There is a curse on posters of Spurstalk.
Holy Crap!

There's been a lot of accidents in the last week for Spurstalk members (and their loved ones).
Everyone drive safely!
Holy cow! Glad no one got hurt!
They say things happen in 3s, so hopefully you ended the curse!
Hasn't there already been six or seven?

I didn't get into an accident but my car broke down across the street from Kori's before Game 3.

A pre-emptive strike!
Lord...I just got a call from some ambulance chasing person 'offering' his services to collect money from the insurance company on our behalf.
"Larry Parker got me 2.1 million" Do they still run those ads in CA?
A pre-emptive strike!
And now someone just called offering to get us a free accident report.
Thank God for Caller ID and Voice Mail.
My truck will be ready tomorrow. $574.00 damage, with a $100.00 deductable.
So, did they give you a Focus to drive until then?
Courtney wants to buy a truck, before she had a Kia. I was like damn you don't want to do that, with todays gas prices buying a truck is insanity. But if she wants it then that's fine with me. I also told her to buy a jeep to take to the beach and drop the top. But I think she's gonna go with a truck.
No, they gave me a Grand Pre!So, did they give you a Focus to drive until then?
Uh, Jeeps don't get great gas milage.
I know...I didn't say that was the reason I wanted her to get it. But she'll end up getting a truck.
They also are death traps in a bad accident. Go with a mid or full-size car, they're enough people who drive trucks that don't have any scratches in the bed as it is already.Uh, Jeeps don't get great gas milage.
My new company truck is a crew cab 2005 Chevrolet 1500 Silverado with the 5.9L V8. It presently has 3100+/- miles and is getting 19-20 MPG with both highway and job site stop and go driving combined.
You mean Grand Prix? Damn Ford drivers........
If my husband was driving our F150, the dude would have probably seen him!
Freaky
So, did they give you a Focus to drive until then?
you know he wouldn't fit in one of those - unless it had a sunroof
Just great thats all I need now. Now the thing goes when you try to be more careful than usual is when something bad happens. We are all jinxed and cursed now! in Great!
I'd want her to get something that's about 30 MPG.
