    Man. Ororoh is junk. Pretty sad when you have to throw aside stray truck parts just to make a spot. At least there's 4 mts here. More than you'll ever see in the boling brook yard.

    So I had a pretty eventful day. I was at the 10mm EB on 74 in indiana when I rolled up to an accident. The guy in the red car was unconscious.Well me and the other guy that pulled over were debating to pull him out because there was gas leaking everywhere but at the same time we didnt want to move him because of his back/spine. Well after about 5 mins he regained consciousness. Well the first thing he said was, my kid is in the car. So right away we break windows to get the doors open, so he can walk out on his own, and so we can look for these kids, well as you can see in the one pic, his back seat is where the passenger seat is supposed to be. so we start searching everywhere and cant find anyone, the whole time im just picturing the worse that im going to find. Well I look at the car seat and I notice that the buckles in the car seat arent buckled, so there more than likely wasnt a kid in it. So I asked him again, and he said he dropped the kids off not too long ago. I guess at one point he told someone that he was attempting a u turn. From the looks of it that would make sense that he was slowed down and the lady in the white car behind him wasnt paying attention and hit him pretty hard.


    You can see how smashed the back end is

    Hit so hard looks like half a car

    If you look, you can see the passenger seat in front of the drivers seat, and the back seat where the passenger seat is supposed to be.

    I can't get the attachments to work, but that's ok... Glad there wasn't a kid in there!

    Here I am being a nervous pervous again... but for goodness sakes pick up a Co2 detector will ya! I had one in my truck (still got it in the apartment!). You just never know. Well you wouldn't ever really know, but your family would find out later!

    It is possible you just had a brutal headache and it took longer than 30 mins (and a cooler temp) to cure it, but just be safe. You gotta have the bunk heater this time of year.

    That the one where we rent space in a tow/wrecking yard? And you have to turn left down the road to get there, otherwise you run into the low bridge? That place sucks. The only good experience I ever had there was someone bringing me an empty trailer.
