Title: Dizamn..and he lived!!
Post by: luckee on January 31, 2003, 03:25:43 PM

This happened the day after the person bought their truck. It was taken out by an 18 wheeler, somewhere in Kentucky. The
                      dude lived and only had cuts from glass and a bruised chest. He was cut out by the jaws of life.

Whats awesome is the construction of that car. See how in this pic how the car got crushed but left a little space around his seat allowing him to escape serious injury.

meh, my boy had a worse wreck.  He was driving his Ford Escort when his brakes went out and he was headed straight for an intersection with the busiest freeway in the area.  He plowed right under an 18-wheeler and everything was crushed.  Luckily all he had were cuts and a bump on the head.

Are you kidding? That was a little kia hit by an 80,000 lb. vehicle AT speed.

Yeah, those KIA\'s are rock solid.  You can\'t buy a better truck.  What are those things new, like 6,500?

Looks like damn solid workmanship went into that thing.
