Just like the title says guys!

I'll make a long story short!

I worked both of my jobs on friday and was up for literally 24hrs. straight drove home and i fell asleep behind the wheel went into a ditch hit a road sign and a small tree (took em both out) in the rain! Couldnt do anything but hold on and wait for it to come to a complete stop in the wet grass. Stopped less than 10ft. from a jersey wall. :sweat:

Car is totaled and my left shoulder & back is sore.
Walked away without a scratch. Air bags did not deploy.
Front windshield, Front drivers side fender & both doors are tore up and rear bumper is toast!

Pics will be up shortly. :bigcry:

Oh man, I don't know you personally but I see you are a fixture on this site!! Hope you are okay health wise, you can always build another car. I will stop complaining about my bumper parking lot scuff now in light of this. Glad you're okay though

Wait. You just said in a earlier thread that your car was being professionally detailed!!!!!!!! If you totaled it on FRIDAY...... how could you be having it detailed this week??????? :banned::banned:

The push bar took most of the damage. Things could have turned out alot differently if i didnt have it.
Best $160.00 i ever spent! :D
Will be putting one on my new one in the very near future.

06-02-2010, 04:51 PM
My flags show no pics either. If it was a CV I am glad but the important part is I am glad you were not hurt any worse. Body parts are hard to replace. By the way , I have fallen asleep and totalled two cars. Was very lucky.

When I read rain, I too knew it wasn't the Marauder. Glad you are okay Jake. Sorry to hear about the accident and loss of your car but congrats on the new pi.

06-02-2010, 06:04 PM
Hey Jake, I am glad you are okay. Sorry about the car, cars can be replaced, bodies can't. Hang in there dude, I am glad no one else was hurt either.

Yeah, if it's raining anywhere in China, Jake will keep the MM in the garage for at least a week....

Now for the IMPORTANT question,....Jake what happens if it rains up in Carlisle this weekend? MM'rs WANT to know.... :)

DOOM
06-02-2010, 07:07 PM
I had that crown Vic for 7 years!
240,000 miles!
No oil burning or smoke of any kind.
Trans was perfect and shifted strong!

Best damn car I ever owned!
Here's the kicker!
After the crash I was still able to drive the car home! :bows:

Mr. Man
06-02-2010, 07:08 PM
:eek:Glad to hear your OK there Van Winkle. Accidents happen that's why they call them.... accidents.
Now what happened here? You were a sleep at the :xtree: and the afterburner of a Nissan Titan threw your car backwards into the staging area where you encountered other slow hard objects.:P
See you on Friday buddy. Advil is your friend for the soreness.

........glad your okay...........and the worst part is Ford is stopping this type production car..........you just can't beat these cars for saving your butt.............I was in my MM with just over 3 months use when a tractor truck hit me in rear and pushed me into a lower ICC bar of truck in front of me buckling the roof and it was repaired to the beast it is today.................

Yeah..those CV and MM bodies/frames will surely be missed.............as
they get older they may even get more valuable.....????

Sorry to hear about the crash...Glad to hear that you are safe and sound Jake.
We've got to talk about where you find these nice CVPIs!
I'll be looking for one in the next year to replace the '89 CV.
(It's still running great, but I'd rather have a newer Panther platform)

Dammit Doom, sorry to hear that, your mm was very nice.

His MARAUDER is even better, but not so much for his Crown Vic. So you can continue admiring his MM!
BTW, n0 worries... D00M has another one, that's because when you're the King of Bling-Bling you gotta have the Ching/$ Ching/$ that goes with it!
