Man, I can't rip on you or your friend for this. I used to have a single cab Dodge Ram with the 5.9 in it. That thing had an insane amount of torque. I know exactly what it's like to just have your license and a truck. I'd be lying to you if I said I was the most responsible driver. One of my exploits put me in a preacher's yard, where it was either take out his mailbox or take out the picket fence. I went for the fence just so it wouldn't be a felony. However, I did the right thing and went up the the guy's door, apologized for my stupidity, fixed the fence for him myself, and learned my lesson. It's bad that your friend lost his truck to learn his lesson, but at least he's walking out of this. Things could have been so much worse. I don't think we'll be seeing another thread like this about your friend. It sounds to me like watching this happen right in front of you shook some sense into you as well.

yeah, hopefully he's "in good hands", lol.
glad he's ok, got it out of his system early. my question is, if he just got his license, how old is this guy and what does he do for a living to have 3k in mods on his truck? -------------------- ~Andy

I <3 all the puns.
Better question: how much of an a** beating did this kid get from his parents? If he has only had his license for a couple of weeks, that means mommy and daddy bought the truck & the mods. This is why my child will get a corolla, and that's it. No power or torque to speak of. -------------------- 1991 MR2 - T-tops - Crimson Red - Gen3 3SGTE - Lots of money

It sounds to me like watching this happen right in front of you shook some sense into you as well. Definitely. my question is, if he just got his license, how old is this guy and what does he do for a living to have 3k in mods on his truck? His dad is a boss for a company (I don't know the name) and Michael (guy with the truck) gets an allowance every week for food, movies, etc. He doesn't ever eat lunch, he saves money and puts it into his truck. He never goes out to the movies with us, nothing. Every cent he gets goes into his truck. Better question: how much of an a** beating did this kid get from his parents? If he has only had his license for a couple of weeks, that means mommy and daddy bought the truck & the mods. When his dad arrived on scene, he walked right by Michael (guy with the truck) and right by the cops and just looked at the truck, and then turned and looked at the skid-marks on the road. He turned around and yelled "ARE YOU F*CKING KIDDING ME? JUST LIKE I THOUGHT. HAULING ASS." Then after awhile he calmed down and chilled out a little bit. His punishment was the truck, and honestly, I think it's enough. He lost his baby for his stupidity, and he knows it. He has to get a job now and dish out enough cash for another car. This is why my child will get a corolla, and that's it. No power or torque to speak of. That's why I got a Celica ![]() This post has been edited by johnnehh: Nov 16, 2009 - 5:57 PM -------------------- 1996 Toyota Celica GT (GT4 conversion) - SOLD :(

Every cent he gets goes into his truck. That's pretty retarded too...I mean, I don't go to the movies because I don't like sitting in a smelly theater with a sticky floor, and because it's expensive...but just putting EVERYTHING into a car is a little senseless. Anyway J, you seem to have a pretty decent head on your shoulders and that's all that matters.

god damn rich brat kids with their allowances...
my allowance was a roof over my head and a 20 year old mattress filled with crickets. When I asked for my allowance I was very promptly put on my place.. I left my home shortly after but for a different reason... I tell you what... tell your friend to send his allowance to me.. I need to buy tons of cat food and cat litter for my huge cats. -------------------- Captain Pessimist

I'm sorry for your friend.
It kinda a sinking feeling in your stomach the few minutes after a crash like this. That really bites. I guess its a good thing no one was on the sidewalk. On of my friends lost her 2 year old daughter to a driver hoping up on the sidewalk like that. I thank God that nothing like this happened with your friend. -------------------- ![]() psalm 69 |

I don't think we'll be seeing another thread like this about your friend. Hey man, never say never. I knew a guy back in high school whose first car ever was a BMW 530. When he totaled it he got another. Then when he totaled that one, he got a Mercedes something (I forgot because it was so long ago). Sad truth is he is probably going to get into another accident someday down the line. Hopefully not this extreme, but you don't put everything you have into a car to go slow ![]() -------------------- Brand new 6gc owner! (sort of 2011)
