My very exciting evening

[Flagg]

So I went out tonight to put on the final touches of my company's involvement in an indoor Supercross event we're sponsoring tomorrow night.

I'm driving home in one of our dealership trucks.

There was no moon and it was raining pretty fierce.

I'm stuck at a four way intersection red light.

The light turns green, I enter the intersection to turn right.

From my right I see headlights and they are not stopping.

I accelerate to avoid the impact to the passenger compartment(me).

The driver of the other vehicle impacts my truck directly behind the passenger cab, driver's side.....which is right where the fuel tank is located.

There is a full tank of gas

After the impact all I see is bright orange/yellow.

The fuel tank took the full impact, it has ruptured, petrol is everywhere.....and it has ignited.

I'm fiddling with the seatbelt while I'm surrounded by flames, which at this stage are thankfully outside the vehicle.

My fumblefingers finally get my seatbelt undone and I try to evacuate out the passenger side.

The door will not open, and the window will not roll down more than about two inches.

I punch the window until it's gone, turn over, put my hands on the roof/door frame and pull myself out of the cab and notice the driver's seat I left a very short time ago is now on fire.

Once out of the vehicle, I run around the far side to find out about the owner of the vehicle that just hit me.

An old lady is trying to extricate herself out of the car

The bonnet of her car is smashed and on fire, I help her out and move her about 50 metres away

By the time we turn around both vehicles are engulfed in flames, front to rear.

I then stood in the rain for an hour watching the fire department extinguish the fire, the police redirect traffic, and the wreckers pull the steaming pile of scrap away on flatbeds.

With the exception of a bruised hand and some sooty clothes, both of us got away without a scratch

I am pissed off and I can't sleep....how was your night? :|

[American Patriot]

Wow, punching out a window, that must have hurt. You might wanna use an automatic center punch next time.

[EvanL]

Good to hear your safe man.
QUick thinking.

[UkrainianAmerican]

Lucky (or unlucky, depending which angle you are looking at it) bastard!

[Romulus]

Holy **** flagg!

Not many people walk away from a wreck like that. Thank god when you get a chance and I'm glad to hear you are safe.

By the way, where you driving a Ford truck?

[2Sheds_Jackson]

Yikes, nothing like a massive shot of adrenaline to keep you up for a few days. I hate that sick sound that metal & plastic make during a car crash..I had a bad one a long time ago..it was the sound that stayed with me the longest.

Glad you (and the other driver) are ok.

[Deuterium]

Glad you're all right. Hell of a story. Good job.

[ShotOver]

Wow man, glad your O.K.

I had a intresting night too, not nearly as bad as yours.
My dog started barking at something outside, so I peeked out the window and saw my dome light was on in my car, which means someone was trying to get in it. So I grab the crowbar my dad was using to fix the bathroom. Exited out the back door of the house, snuck around the side of my house and saw some ****er dressed in all black, with a balaclava on trying to break into my car. **** that ****, I got within about 5 feet from him when he heard me ( i didnt have shoes on) so I swung my crowbar at the back of his head, assclown turns around right as the bars about to connect, crunch there goes his nose. Well I hear another set of footsteps take off through my woods, so i turned that way quick, and by the time i turned around the ****er had split the other way, but there was a small smear of blood on my window from the impact. I took a pic of it this morn ill try to upload it later.
I bet those ****s wont be back for a while. my lil bro watched this from the window. He says to me when i got back inside "did they **** with my go kart at all?" i hate that kid. I wish he would have called the cops.

On the plus side, at least it wasn't your truck :D

[Flagg]

Yeah..one of those hammer thingies would have been quite useful at the time


By the way, where you driving a Ford truck?

Nope...Nissan Atlas...


On the plus side, at least it wasn't your truck

hahahahah...it IS my truck...I own the dealership rofl

I'm finally winding down, 3:30am here...time to get a couple hours in the rack before I call my insurance guy....that'll be funny

All I know is, I'm taking some photos at the Gravity Games we're doing tomorrow night, I'll definitely take a couple of what's left of the truck...you will not believe the damage

Thanks guys....

Cheers,

Flagg

[Chris1]

Fix-er-upper then? :D

[Wilco]

Didn't your mom ever tell you to kick a window out with your feet? Glad to hear your good to go for the next round of "God's Olympics".

[memphiz]

Good to here your safe, your should have kicked that old ladies ass


I have a slightly funny story from the other night.
It was raining like crazy the other night, and we had a huge lightning storm. and just at the peak of the lightning storm we (my family) hears the vehicles horn start going off (not a "beep" "beep" "beep" but a long steaty "beeeeeep") so we figure the shock of the thunder must have set some poor saps car alarm off at 2am. So we're standing around laughing and waiting for this person to shut off their cars horn for 10 minutes when my dad goes "Mabey its our van" so then I get volunteered to go outside during the storm to check, and what do you know it was our f**king van. The window was left open on the drivers side so the sterring wheel and console was completly soaked. Not know what to do to make it stop, I start punching the steering wheel till it stops, satisfied I return inside to go back to bed.

1 hour later it starts again and i have to run outside barefoot in the mud to shut off the horn again, this time it put up a fight and i had to hit it much harder till it stopped. And now Im pissed, we drove the van around the house to our garage where i then removed the breaker for the horn...Yes I won that round now the vehicle no longer has a horn. :D

Incredible story, Flagg. Glad you're ok.

:lol: I don't know what it is with you, Midtown, but you always seem to have the most exciting life: f*** women all day and then practically kill a guy at night. Incredible.

Good to know you're still in one piece Flagg, now, where's my coffee?

[Midtown]

Incredible story, Flagg. Glad you're ok.

no, Im way overly social, which gets me into most of my trouble, Im that guy that has no chance of living past 50. Someone will kill me way before that. when you dont have any restrictions, and a very small concious, random stupid **** happens. This is the 2nd time someones gone after my car, the first time they stole at least 600$ worth of ****. I figure that was revenge. and what people dont get, its easy to get girls in bed, whats that wayne gretzky quote, You miss 100% of the shots you never take. same with women. Your never going to get laid unless you putyourself out there on the line, after a while you get confident blah blah blah, im sure you can figure it out.

Nice to hear you made it OK. Close call.
