MY CLOSE ENCOUNTER WITH GOD

 Wednesday on the way home from work I had a "little" accident.
An 80 year old man was coming at me head on in my lane on HWY 138. That is him in the cab of the tow truck. I managed to swerve to the right and squeeze between a truck and his Mercedes.

He hit me on the front fender first. Then both of our mirrors took off. Next my driver side door crushed in. He caught my bed and crushed it in. Let us not forget the rear axle, rims, tires, shocks, frame, bumper and leaf springs. He missed my tailgate.
For a while all I could think about was my truck is gone.

After we hit I continued up the busy highway sideways. I was afraid that I would get hit by more cars. I thought I would flip over and roll. Finally I spun around backwards and thought I would get smashed from both ends.
Here is his car. All of that destruction and no one was hurt. Not a scratch.
As you can see we have already take off the bed. See how the rear axle is torn sideways. In Phelan this is still a prime truck. We can rebuild it just like the six million dollar man. Check back in a few days to see the progress of my new improved truck.
