However,

Shortly after I joined the bombers, I wrecked the thing.

So I am including those photos also.

The body shop says that it is just short of $8k worth of work, with a complete used rear end. They say that the axle is bent.

Well looks like you did a good job. What the hell did you do?

 

So, a guy I know, and perhaps someone else are going to try to fix it ourselves first. The guy thinks we can do the job for less than half.

WEll................... Here in sue me WV, they put telephone poles right on the road and build roads around trees, literally.

And I, being stupid, reached down to adjust the heat, or whatever, I forget exactly, and drifted off of the road by a tire width and put the passenger mirror right through the window, past my face and into the dash and windshield on my side.

Then the outside rear tire snagged the pole by an inch or two, ripped the axle off of the springs, and spun me around.

Needless to say, I was so mad at myself I could spit nails.

damn that sucks man sounds like one hell of a ride ! good luck getting it all back together !

 

Well I guess that's about as good of a definition of a "Bad Day" as I've ever heard. Good luck getting it back together. Keep us in the loop as things progress.

 

DAMN!!!! Hope you didnt get hurt. Good luck getting it put back together.


BTW- DMax brother.

 

Thanks all.

I really do need to be thankful to the Lord. The mirror flew right past my face and I did not know it. It could have ripped my face right off of my head.

I was on my way to put a lien on a contract that is stiffing me for $11k, then from there to my attorney.

I did not make it to the county clerks office.

It was my first year with big contracts. It was suppose to be my best year, but best will have to wait just awhile longer. :-))

It went down hill from there, but I am getting my fight back, and will keep on going.
