2nd time in about 5 years someone ran a stop sign and totaled 1 of my trucks,luckily it was just a fender and part of the passenger door this time though and it's still driveable,just looks like crap.

It seems like stop means go . On the way to work the one time this guy in a pick up tried to force his way into my space , he almost side swiped my car by doing so . Some drivers just don't care .

Man, there isn't that much traffic in Portland is there? You must have big magnets on your truck.
I hope you didn't get hurt. It's always a pain to deal with even without physical pain.

I had that happen to me once too,I was turning right and a bunch of young kids were turning left and we both were wanting in the same lane,I could've reached out and touched their door we were so close.

No there isn't much traffic,just a lot of people don't know how to drive or don't give a crap,not sure what the problem is. It seems people don't realize who's got the right of way a lot of times and aren't paying attention other times. We're fine just the truck got hurt. I was lucky he didn't hit me further to the front or rear or it would've have done more damage. He happened to catch the very rear of the door to right in front of the wheel well so everything still works.

At least you will get a new rust free bed out of the deal!

Sorry to hear about your accident and glad no one was injured. Back in October 20th 1996, a woman ran a red light and "T-Boned" my car on the drivers side, on HWY 41/ New Harmony Rd, near the Vanderburgh Co. 4-H center. She was traveling 60 MPH when she slammed into my car, and pushing it some 50 yards, and she proceeded to hit another car on the North bound highway. Well my car was totaled and they had to use the "Jaws-of-life" to get me out, and I was knocked out for 45 minutes. They took me to the ER and checked me out for injuries, but I had no broken bones only a cut behind my left ear. Next day I could hardly move and had double vision for four months. Worse thing about this accident is I didn't hear a thing, as it seemed like I just fell off the face of the Earth. One minute I was driving back home and then everything was gone, until the Paramedics revived me.

I lost a cousin when I was a little squirt by a car t-boning them at highway speeds,killed her instantly,it drove the front seat completely out of the car they said.

I lost a cousin when I was a little squirt by a car t-boning them at highway speeds,killed her instantly,it drove the front seat completely out of the car they said. Yes, The E.R. Doctor couldn't believe that I could have survived an accident like I had. They even took two X-rays just to be certain and discovered that my bones and organs are larger than normal. My Brother-In-Law drove me to where they tolled my car and the worker there looked at me and said "We thought you were dead" (!) I told him I was slightly banged-up and he said wait till you see your car. I went to retrieve my things in my Toyota and it was completely destroyed every tire was flat and all glass windows were broken, with a HUGE dent on the driver's side. I am lucky my car didn't catch on fire as I just filled-up before the accident. The next day I had considerable pain, my Doctor wanted to prescribe some pain medication but I told him I was taking over-the-counter Aleave, which seemed to be working well, in controlling the pain. The double vision was something else though. Very miserable like being dizzy, and this lasted four months. There were four accidents at the same spot, before mine, and the drivers were killed and I was the the first to survive an accident on US-41/ New Harmony road. They changed the stop lights to delay mode to avoid such accidents after mine. My accident occurred when I was going to the grocery store in Darmstalt to buy some Ice Cream for one of my Niece's Birthday.

Now days light turns green I always look right and left to make sure they are stopping. Same thing at stop signs.

I have long loved old trucks of any kind. I always wanted a rusty truck or just primer on it that ran like a top. This is cool to me.
My Tahoe is rusty and runs so good, but it's not a real truck.
