That sucks but I am guessing it was your fault. So why?

Ray_Welder 11-05-2008 01:15 PM

That trailer owned you.

Melt 11-05-2008 01:17 PM

ouch ... no offense though but your probe looks fairly stock ... wheres the money ... stereo?

Downey 11-05-2008 01:21 PM

So you were following to close then?

D. 11-05-2008 02:35 PM

Those cars are cheap. grab your stuff off of it and buy another one. Start building again, keep moving forward ;)

Downey 11-05-2008 06:03 PM

yeah thats what im going to do d

Rolldogg 11-05-2008 06:14 PM

Damn........

Now that's a good way to ruin your day. To the trucker, it probably felt like a small nudge if any.

sniper_101 11-05-2008 06:20 PM

Sorry to see, I don't mind those cars at all. Be glad you're okay, had the bumper bar not been there you could have gone right underneath. Like said, time to start over and better this time.

ES894x4 11-05-2008 06:27 PM

that all you buddy. probes suck anyways move on

Downey 11-05-2008 07:28 PM

^^^ screw you dude

Mark98xlt 11-05-2008 07:38 PM

at least it was a probe and not a ranger, its not a drastic loss.

chevyslayer925 11-05-2008 07:40 PM

was this by iron skillet? btw you didnt just scrap the reflection tape, that beam on the bottom is slightly bent, and you hada do atleast 40. I say keep it and rebuild. What'd you have done to the suspension? Looks like stock height to me, or possibly eibach springs/

TRoyBv6320 11-05-2008 07:41 PM

I had a '93 gt 5psd for like 2-3 years, but I had to sell it when I got my truck. I loved that car, amazingly under-rated and a blast to drive.

Find me another one while you're at it.

Trigger01 11-05-2008 08:39 PM

Nice job. Glad you're ok.

TheStig88 11-05-2008 08:45 PM

:boatowned:


at least you're okay

just do what D. said and rebuild a phoenix from those ashes

Hanks Rangers 11-05-2008 09:04 PM

who bounced their head off the passenger side of the windshield?

pace51 11-05-2008 09:04 PM

I'll bet he's writing you a thanking you letter for making him go for a pee in a cup, and prolly buying you a hallmark card for the fight he had with his safety manager.

Oh well next time you'll pay more attention. You're lucky his D.O.T. bar was so low, most are much higher and you would of slide a lot farther under the truck and could of been hurt real bad.

sniper_101 11-05-2008 09:07 PM

Save yourself the trouble of the structural damage repair and all the little details and start with a new car. Maybe something with damaged parts you don't need, then just swap over the good parts. If you enjoy the car that much don't give up on it.

Did the air-bags deploy? It doesn't appear so.
