Small picture, not entirely sure what I am looking at other than the front end of a Ford, which does seem like it would make for a bad day...

There is little doubt that the world in general is more liberal than it was 50 years ago and beyond. Conservatives are simply roadblocks on the path to an ever more progressive and liberal world. What a sad existence.

Yes sir, what a bitch it was getting someone out there to tow me in.

We hung out and continued drinking until 9pm when the police came and said I could leave it overnight, He couldn't even get anyone to come tow it. Nobody's got wreckers anymore and there were not going to get a ramp truck out there.

Out of the 40 or so vehicles coming off the beach only 3 stopped to ask if we needed help, 4 if you count the police man. Most were annoyed that we were slowing their departure from the beach. IT was different before everyone got SUV's. You were either driving a jeep or a pick up and you offered a hand to someone in distress. [/rant]

Since no one else has asked I guess I'll do it.

What the hell happened!?! How did you create that damage?

I was actually just crawling along less than 5 mph, when all of a sudden truck just wanted to go left. It would have been ugly if it held on for 5 more minutes and I was going 70 mph on the highway.
