Foxkidd44 I hear you loud and clear, had my own close call with death last year when I ran into a Jeep that someone left sticking out in the lane on the hwy late at night, other then that and I was in a car it could have been almost word for word description

[img]http://[/img]

Amazing that no one was killed which would have happened if anyone had been riding with me like normal but everyone had problems that day and could not ride along

Still p’s me cause I liked that car and hadn’t even made the first payment on it, not even 3 weeks old

Somebody was looking out for you for sure. Glad how it turned out.

About twenty years ago I was on my way to the dump on a calm Sunday morning around 8 am, and I was at a red light waiting to turn left. I saw a pickup coming from the left and my light turned green but something in my brain told me that this guy wasn't slowing down for his red light. I waited and he blew through a full red light in a one ton Chevy truck. Had I been T-boned I probably wouldn't be typing this today.

Glad you are OK.

Happy for you and your wife coming out of it ok. Probably be sore but way better than what could’ve been.

Luck is not a blessing, and from the look of that vehicle, you are blessed far beyond what luck could have accomplished.

Life usually makes us ponder these defining moments in it.

I'd offer you're lucky to be blessed.

I think you only get one free death escape card in your life, and you just used it!
Seriously, glad you came out of that one in one piece, that is nothing short of a miracle.


Right now I’m having amnesia and déjà vu at the same time. I think I’ve forgotten this before.

You cats just used up one of your nine lives. Lucky to survive that as well as you did if at all.


I'm just happy to be here! Today I'm as young as I'll ever be and and older than I've ever been before!

Glad you made it as well as did.
