Southerners and ice/snow.....

No doubt. I was towing my trailer, came over a rise in the road, traffic was stopped, people standing on the shoulder. I did the best I could, trailer jackknifed, my buddy was driving the raptor, he tried to shoot the gap between the shoulder and the trailer and got the trailer a little.

Ironically he was the guy riding with me when I wrecked Raptor 1.0.

I'm probably the only person in the world with Raptor parts from two different Raptors hanging on the wall of his shop...

Damn Trey, sorry to hear it.

I know that insurance call though - "You got into an accident? Okay, anyone hurt? No, good. which car of yours was damaged? What? two cars? Who hit you? hmmm, this is really going to cost you...."

Way back in my marriage, my wife was backing her Miata down the driveway and managed to hit my NSX. Nothing structural, but it just wasn't fun reporting that one.

It was a pretty funny phone call.

Did I mention that my wife was 34 weeks pregnant at the time and was in the truck with me?

And that we had to wait on the side of the road for 3 hours for it to open up...

Should have told them she was about to have the baby, they may have moved a little quicker!
