    Yup that was real. He survived along with his 7 year old son who was riding with him. He claimed an erratic 4 wheeler cut him off. Regardless of what happened, scary situation and thankfully everyone walked away.

    I didn't see a four wheeler.

    Shame on any driver for blaming phantom fourwheelers on wiping out.

    These things happen. Don't fear it when you climb in that truck and sit in that seat you have to flat ### believe they couldn't castrate you with a chainsaw. We all see a lot of things on the open road. You have to flat out believe that it isn't going to happen. NOTHING is going to stop you from making it back home driver. That is the attitude you have to have.

    You have to be cautious out on the road theres a difference between cautious and afraid. If you're afraid don't drive, that's a good way to get yourself killed. Your focus needs to be on the road not what could happen and not what may happen. 8 second ride will end up going on the back of my sleeper when I get the money to have the lettering done. There's a reason its going on there and I don't talk about it. Its a reminder and that's as far as I'm going to go with it.

    Don't let things like this scare you just flat out believe it ain't going to happen to you!
