This was a great start to my Wednesday, 3/15/17:

Guy in a Phord F1s50 ran a light and it was just my lucky day.

Got a decent rental, though:

It's a little underpowered, low and quiet, without many amenities but it will do for now.

Not sure about what they are gonna do with the Ram. I couldn't tell if the frame was jacked or not. I'll find out next week.

This **** sucks...

Yup...seriously.

I'm a little stiff, sore and bruised but not seriously injured.

After he hit me I got slightly spun to my left, then hit a streetlight steel pole. That pole now has more paint on it than it had before I hit it.

If they do decide to total it I will probably end up with the same truck, equipped with a Cummins.

Yup, I was able to walk away and other than being a bit sore, I wasn't injured.

That sort of stuff is exactly why I drive a big truck...and will continue to drive a big truck.

Here's the doer of the dastardly deed:

A Phord driver modified the front end of my 4th gen today:

Damn! did it eat the ford?! Cab looks perfect...frame is a loss but I wonder if you had a ranch hand would it have saved the front end?

I think the pole did, frankly, although the Phord scraped across the front of mine up to the point he spun and knocked me towards the post.

All I can say is that there was a LOT of plastic scattered all over.

Yup, defecation occurs.

Holy balls. That sucks.

It truly does.

Damn that sucks!! Hope everyone was ok...

Yes, everyone is OK. I'm a bit sore, bruised and battered here and there but no serious injuries.

I certainly did. In fact, I had a bit of a walk ahead of me after the wreckage was cleared.

I doubt it would have helped. He was going at least 35 - 40 when he hit me right in the front bumper, catching the leading edge of the fender and front flare, then scraping all the way across the front, removing parts and plastic on the way.

His momentum and the collision force spun him around to the right, his rear bumper smacked my cab right below the rear passenger door in the rocker panel, and changed my trajectory to the left, right into a steel street light pole.

It was like an 8 ball in the corner pocket bank shot.
