Toyota tough...

Last night, on my way over to a buddies house, I wrecked my Tundra. Not just wrecked it, but absolutely killed a Mercury Cougar. I was headed down a back road and made the mistake of looking down at what I was trying to fish out of my glovebox. There's a little bridge at the very end of the road before it T's into the highway and when I hit the bridge I realized I'd let my speed get higher than it should've been. When I hit my brakes, I got caught up on the gravel/dirt and went all the way across the highway and slamming into a car on this used car lot across the street. I hit the Cougar, which got slammed up against a Mercedez, which tapped a Cadillac, denting it a little. I know it seems that I was going crazy fast, but the airbags didnt go off or anything. So, in summary, a Toyota Tundra can total a car and damage two more, and take no structural or mechanical damage, just need a fender, bumper, and hood. I'm not making light of this, it really sucks, but I figured I'd let you know. I'm going down there today to take some pictures of my truck and of the damage.

No way, that thing is WAY too nice. I lov driving that thing cause compared to my 92 it rides great. Its just been making me sick all day. So long as it gets repaired and I can't tell the difference I'll be happy enough. I'm gonna have alot o ffun with the insurance hike, though.
