i wish i had my camera last night to show what the van looked like. makes me really consider what a safe car is. the mini van was one of those smaller vans with the regular back doors instead of the sliding doors. but what can you do when some one slams into you at 50 mph!

You make a good piont, it is always a little freaky driving something around that sits so low when every other cell phone talking, child yelling driver has a 6000lb SUV going 60mph. That is one deadly weapon! (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/ohmy.gif)
Looks like your truck faired okay considering. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/sad.gif) |

I agree with Josh. Drive offensively. I have always owned and driven small cars. Don't like big cars or trucks. They don't handle, stop, or go. My 914 usually put me eye level with the rocker panel on most suburbans and my Civic's roof is level with the top of the bed on a Ford F150. So its all about driving ahead of and around everyone else on the road. I have never had an accident involving another car (plenty of times I have paid myself for overdriving road conditions).
Glad to hear you are OK. Even more glad it wasn't a teener. Can't be killin' off anymore of those. |

Really glad to hear that you and your daughter are ok. Thank goodness your truck wasnt a Ford! Some of those newer ones have BAD crash ratings. It does make me wonder what my teener would have looked like if my wreck was in the middle of an intersection and the other driver in an Escape had been doin even 35. Scary.

Glad to hear that you and your daughter are OK.
Everyone play it safe this time a year as everyone has their head up their ass driving with the holidays. I have witnessed accidents every day this week and I’m sure that things are going to get worse as we get closer to that last shopping day. DH |

Hi Troy....
Glad to hear you and your daughter are okay (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/clap.gif) I am glad you were not in your 914 as both of you would probably be in the hospital. I attached a photo I took on the trip you lead last summer (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/driving.gif) Just glad the two of you are okay. Eddy Attached image(s)
