Sorry to hear about the accidents. At least you are ok, somewhat. I know it
hurts when your truck gets damaged in any way. Hope you wake up and find
minimal damage.
This leads me to another question for all of you east coasters and people
who drive in the ice/snow. Why do you guys bother to drive in this terrible
weather? Other than going to work and trying to get the essentials, food and
such. I see on the local news trucks, cars, garbage trucks slippin and
sliding across the roads. Do they require you guys to have chains on your
tires? And don't get too jealous, it was rainy here over in California.

Subject: DML: well i crashed my R/T twice in one nite
well.its 2.00 am and i just got in from one of the worst nights in my life.
i'm still scared out of my mind but i want to tell you all why its fresh in
my head. i've been driven 12 hours straight back from the R/T meet in
michigan . was going good makin great time too, got half way home when i met
a killer storm.halfway throught P.A. and i was still driving ok intill this
mother fu&^*ng person hit his brakes (with 3 " of snow on the ground) out in
front of me .i hit the brakes and slid into a wall . the front hit first
pushing off the wall then the rear hits hard. i wanted to stop, but looked
back to see semi up my ass trying to brake with less luck then i did ,so i
floored it pulled the truck straight and got it right up and back in line .i
was so scared but keeped driven .i'm just glad it didn't cause a pile -up on
I-76 . i pulled over in a truck stop to get out and cry over the damage
.....but there was none i swear to god . i can't really figure what
happened.
i know i hit because i felt it, but no damage. so 200 miles later( which
took
me 7 hours more to travel) i get to philly and i'm almost home .when whamm,
i'm spinning out of control and heading for a pole and a wall but fell short
of both, thank god for the snow bank. here ,in philly the drains are backed
up from the rain and snow and flooded the street .which i didn't see.but
this
time the snow bank damaged my driver door and front flair thats all i could
see for now. buy the way a man was standing by the flooded street because
five minutes earlier he spon out of control too but hit the wall and his car
was stuck in the water.he said he counted 3 spins out of my truck before it
hit the snow bank.well next time i'll listen to my friends when they say not
to drive in bad weather.
