I wrecked the Yota, 30mph head on into a telephone pole :o(

I have 8 stiches in my lip, rash on my head, and got some teeth knocked out. I was picking my cigs up because the fell into the floor board and I dont know why it happed, but I looked up and hit the pole I was at about 30-35mph, lucky to be alive, the truck is crumpled like a pop can.

I am more sad about my truck and than my face being damaged.

I will throw some pictures up here soon, I am going to look at it tomorrow.

No seatbelt? That is the #1 rule of off-roading I would think, whether it be on or off-road.

This will probably/hopefully be the last time you ever take your eyes off of the road in front of you no matter how big the distraction.

Two things I can't stand when I have passengers in my trucks:

a. Refusal to wear a seatbelt in my vehicle...answer? You can get the eff out.

b. A passenger who is constantly saying "ohh look at that" or "see that?" ...really all they are doing is taking your eyes and concentration off of the road in front of you.

Driving is just like playing any sport...always keep your eyes on the ball.

Cash in hand right there changes alot of people. Money talks. haha.

You could go up there with 2800 and say this is all i have blah blah blah and pull out the stack.

I did that with my runner, paid 1700 and she was asking 3k.

Its got to suck having to pay for health care in the US...

Glad you're alright. Those phone posts really don't collapse as easily as they did in Grand Theft Auto (when it first came out) do they...
