totalled my truck
Coming home from work on thursday I was merging on the freeway and when i gave the truck some gas to get the truck up to speed the rear tires lost traction and the truck started to spin. I tried everything to save but it just hydro planned in the cement dividing wall in the middle of the freeway. I had just finished/started to rain and the roads were more slick than i thought. I hit the wall really hard and severally bruised my hip/lower, Rightside of the ribs, right shoulder and hurt my neck a bit. I'm ok but they think i may still have a hairline fracture on one of my ribs but they couldn't find it. So i learned several lessons in all of this. Slow down when it wet out, NEVER drive with bald tires and ALWAYS get gap insurance on a new car.
It pushed the frame in the rear and the front. In the fron the frame crushed my passanger side headers and moved the block an inch or so. It also shifted the bed of the frame and damaged the drivers side as well. And the drivers side door barely opens cause everything shifted so far to the right.

I feel for ya , that was a nice truck too... Glad you made it out mostly alright.....
Seriously, why on god's earth would you even think about driving a truck like that with bald tires in the rain? Especialy on the freeway...... I cant go more than 60-70 with my tires the way they are right now(in the rain). 40-45% tread left...
Sorry that just got to me a lil...... once again, glad you're alright....
