I am so glad you are ok, Richard! I hope you have a quick recovery. I think ford has a customer for life in you. Many vehicles would not have faired half as well.

Smokin Gator · 01-11-2011, 09:48 AM

Dang brother... That was some hit! I thank God it wasn't worse and pray for a speedy recovery.

rrplasencia · 01-12-2011, 07:10 AM

I think it's always a bad sign when the adjuster is left speechless after seeing the truck, he did say that he was gonna go out and buy one for his wife and kids, will be setting up a contest thread later tonight, whoever gets closest to what geico is giving me for my truck will get the "hey I'm alive!" prize pack out of my humi and liquor cabinet

Don Fernando · 01-12-2011, 07:45 AM

holy crap Richard, glad to hear you survived that crash!

Ranger_B · 01-12-2011, 08:33 AM

Wow! thank God you came out of that ok. Built ford tough I guess.

awsmith4 · 01-12-2011, 08:41 AM

I'm with your adjuster, a wreck like that and virtually no damage in the cab.

Thank God you are ok brother!

GreekGodX · 01-12-2011, 08:45 AM

Glad you are with us today

SeanGAR · 01-12-2011, 08:47 AM

Snap ... I'm glad you're OK ... Ford did a great job with that vehicle ... the cab is amazing inside relative to the front end.

replicant_argent · 01-12-2011, 09:03 AM

Insert speechless smiley here...

So very glad you are still with us, Richard. Give your family an extra hug for us.

RevSmoke · 01-12-2011, 10:54 AM

How I missed this earlier, I am not sure.

Prayers of thanks ascend to the throne of God's grace.

Glad you are OK.

Peace of the Lord be with you.

01-12-2011, 12:49 PM

God wants you still here with us, it seems. I've seen this a few times, usually not good.

HK3- · 01-12-2011, 01:20 PM

Glad to hear your ok.

treatneggy · 01-12-2011, 01:24 PM

Glad your OK.

Pulled a similar stunt myself back in '90. Going back to Lejeune from PA after 2 days no sleep, nodded off doing ~60 in a SAAB Sonett on a back road and woke up as I was leaving the road on a curve; ended up against someone's front porch (cement slab).

Sled Dog · 01-12-2011, 02:38 PM

So very happy you were able to return to your family. That's scary and i'm just glad you are ok. That's a great testimonial to modern vehicle technology as well..... that truck held up well to the impact.

01-12-2011, 03:04 PM

Wow... Glad you're still here and amongst the living, brother. I had some close ones when I used to commute from San Jose to Modesto. I don't dig driving while tired.

yakman · 01-12-2011, 09:35 PM

My prayers go out to you brother!

boom · 01-13-2011, 07:41 AM

Glad you are ok!!!!

MiamiE · 01-13-2011, 07:46 AM
