I cursed myself, Mac cursed me or Ford Vans are just running amok!

Bunker · 04-22-2011, 03:37 PM

So, I am feeling better from my recent surgery. Good enough to drive short distances - get coffee, go to the post office....

Well, I am taking a right turn into my post office parking lot this afternoon (about 2 miles from my house), when suddenly there is a Ford Econoline in my passenger window and I am covered in glass.

There was no lane between me and my turn, it is baffling to me as to what the van was doing there.

I try to call the police but my hands are shaking too much to dial correctly so I speed-dial my wife and get out.

I see the driver of the van is on the phone and ask him if he is calling the cops and he nods so I go sit down next to my car.

Cops arrive (they can't figure out what the van was doing there either) and I mention that I am sore but my neck feels and I just had a cervical fusion two weeks ago.

My wife shows just as I am being strapped to a back board and loaded into the ambulance. I just got the once over and a Vicodin and they sent me home. I can feel things getting stiff now, probably in for a miserable weekend.

Luckily it was sort of a T-bon/sideswipe and not a reaend or I probably would have spit my new Titanium plate up on the dash.

I have no car, not sure if it's a total but it looked pretty F'd up. The owner of the Van's insurance co is closed until Monday.

I think I need to go sit down and have a smoke.

Oh man Rick, you can't catch a break!!

Glad to hear that there doesn't appear to be any permanent damage, but it sucks that your weekend was ruined! Hope you get things sorted out with insurance and you get a car ASAP.

EricF · 04-22-2011, 03:40 PM

Glad to hear you only came out with "scratches"

Enjoy that smoke! You seemed to have earned that one!

14holestogie · 04-22-2011, 03:40 PM

Sorry to hear, Rick. Here's hoping the damage to you is minimal and you heal quickly. The vehicle can be replaced.

Bunker · 04-22-2011, 04:31 PM

Enjoying a tat havana cazadore and being thankful that it didn't happen tomorrow with my daughter in the passenger seat

kelmac07 · 04-22-2011, 04:36 PM

I didn't say I was going to. Just suggesting it to Rick. But now that I think about it, sounds like a good idea.

RevSmoke · 04-23-2011, 12:23 PM

Will keep you in my prayers for healing and recovery.

shark · 04-23-2011, 05:14 PM

Dooshebag drivers. They're everywhere. And they don't even realize that they're dooshebags. Get well soon, man!

Bunker · 04-24-2011, 12:04 AM

I will give Chevy credit, the door itself held up pretty well but I am glad the were no passengers.

Not sure if she is a total, but it has been sitting open in the rain for two days no since the insurance company blew me off until Monday. It probaly will be by the time the get back to me.

I agree wholeheartedly.

Glad you're OK, and that they were able to send you home. But seriously, though...WTF? The van driver ever say what they were doing there? Definitely a douchenozzle.
