Not my time, I guess...

[Papa Joe]

Here's the story, no sniveling.
At 5:15 Friday on my way home from the office a 3/4 ton Chevy darted across centerline and hit me head on. I'm ok, I'm home. Two sprained ankles, couple chipped bones, dings, and a LOT of color. #ad
I sure appreciate Ms. Papa Joe cause I'm pretty incompacitated for the time being.
The Ram is beyond toast. The engine tried to join me in the cab and the third member was knocked off the truck from momentum. The sight of the truck leads one to believe their were no survivors. I crawled out on my own accord.

I have no doubt that three things saved my life in this order. A watchful angel, the airbag, and the mass of the ISB.

Take care. Hug your wives. Glad to still be here #ad
Joe

Papa Joe

Good to hear that you are doing OK, You can always replace a truck but they haven't figured out how to replace you.

Hang in there and don't give the Mrs. any flack.

Joe you get better soon. That big old hunk of iron in front of you probably saved your life. I would hate to see the other car.

Papa,

Glad you are going to be OK. Get well soon. I guess while you are in recovery, you can look at the Ram literature and be working up that new order.

Glad to hear you're OK, Papa. Sure would hate to lose a guy with a sense of humor, and a little head injury might help in the humor department. Now maybe you'll have an excuse for being zany. Get better soon so you can go pick out your new truck.

Some of you guys will do anything to get yourselves a new truck. Right, Willyslover?

<font color=blue>Papa -

Glad to hear your alive and well, well as well as can be without a Ram! Seriously glad to hear your ok... .

Didn't even get to enjoy your 275's too long #ad

 

[sweeks]

PapaJoe; See your posts often, glad to hear you're relatively OK. Speaks well of the safety factor as another reason to buy another CTD. Steve W.

 

[Steve M]

Best wishes for you Papa Joe. Glad you weren't injured too badly. Don't go Chevy on us! Just kidding... We saw one today at an RV show in Tampa Fl. $39k for a Quad cab 4X2 Isuzu with Allison. It wasn't very quiet after all and way over priced. But they have the exhaust done right! Hoping for a speedy recovery for you...

Papa: Get well soon. Just think of it this way, now you can have some time to think of what your Next Dodge/Cummins will be like, and what all Bombings you can do.
