Gonna Miss This Truck

What you don't want your child crawling out of:



Well, actually, I guess you do want your kid crawling out of that.

As Dax would say, Just Damn! As I would say, Fucking Ada.

Cold chills running up and down my spine thinking about that near miss.

Bless you all.

That is bloody terrifying to contemplate. Fucking Ada, indeed.

Holeeeeeey shit. Glad she was able to crawl out of that. Damn.

Jesus - I feel sick just looking at that. Thank God she is ok.

I saw the pictures, having read your earlier story, and went down to give my (10 year old) daughter a hug and remind her that she won't be driving until she's old enough to date. We've previously agreed that'll be when she's 30.

My hope is that, by then, the asinine bleating about the evils of SUVs has abated, because it sure looks as though that SUV saved your girl's life. Just as it's got-damned designed to.

Fucking Ada those are some scary pictures.

Just Damn or Fucking Ada barely covers the fear a sight like that gives parents.

Dude, did you put those pictures on your page and resize them with HTML, but not *really* resize them? So that they would take forever (as in 10-15 minutes, say) to load at dialup speeds? Shame on you. They make things like Paint Shop Pro for that.

Anyway... wow! Impressive wreck.

My Master Genius Jerry is working on optimizing these pictures, while patiently explaining to me why I'm a damned techno fucktard. Sorry for the slow upload.

That's scary, Vman. I'm glad she's okay. I'm sure she knows how lucky she is to come away from that with no major bodily damage. Thank goodness for big vehicles.

Jeesum Pete............that's one lucky girl you got there. I know what my old man woulda done, probably much like the Senator. When the emotion wore off, I woulda been figuring out bus routes and trying to sit the sting off my ass.

Bless her pea picking heart. I sure am glad it turned out ok.

Pea pickin heart. Hah. Haven't heard that in about, ah, I can't say.

Posted by: Velociman at February 14, 2005 8:31 PM

Vman, check you mail for the photos, I just sent them.

Jay, I am gonna get him trained so he can become the VelociPhotoGeek

You are right...That's exactly what you want your child crawling out of.

Fucking Ada.

Velocidaughter 1 is indeed blessed. I hope that she has lavished Velocidaddy with numerous hugs.

I was given an aluminum can with wheels, so that I couldn't wreck anything of value. Fortunately, a fire hydrant stopped me from wrapping myself around a tree.

The parents were billed for the unused ambulance and the fire hydrant. And I was bitched out, presumably for living.

All that to say, I appreciate your response, as does she, I'm sure.

Zoiks!

That's the best argument in favor of driving an SUV that I can think of.

Posted by: Desert Cat at February 14, 2005 10:20 PM

Thank the heavens your daughter crawled outta that, Kim. All I can say is OMG.

I'm gonna go give my kids a little extra hug now, even though they are sleepin'. Geez.

What a reminder that life is precious.

Take care of you and yours, hon. Your daughter had her guardian angel looking over her shoulder.

Thank goodness.

That sure is wadded up. I'm glad Vdaughter isn't. I think I'll take this opportunity to "educate" my near future drivers as to what can happen ... even though one thinks "It can't happen to me".

Posted by: RedNeck at February 15, 2005 6:57 AM

Jesus H. Christ, Vman...those are some spooky-looking pictures. I'm glad she's okay. Car accidents are scary as hell. The only fairly serious one in which I was ever involved (knock on wood) happened when I was 17. I wasn't even in a car, either...I was on a bike. Just a note to all those interested in physics: in any experiment pitting a 10-speed versus a station wagon, the station wagon wins. Suffice to say, that was enough for me.

I'm really glad to hear that your daughter is okay. Take care, dude.

Posted by: zonker at February 15, 2005 3:59 PM

Geez, my last wreck wasn't half that bad, and I was at the chiropractor for months.

Glad she's ok, V-man.

How coinky dinky is it that my stepdaughter was nearly t-boned in a wreck last night? Thank all the gods that she hadn't gassed that thing in 1st gear on the green light. Instead of losing her, she just lost the car. Totaled, of course, by a red light running moron who then attempted to hit and run. Thank goodness that some people are still good hearted - they pulled in front of him and the cops were on-scene immediately.

Strange the series of emotions - that first flush of adrenalin, the immediate uptake of facts and actions required. Only later the comprehension of What Could Have Been.

She's my girl...she's my darling girl...

What about the INNOCENT party? I trust he's unhurt. I swear, this business of excusing females from disapproval just because they're females revolts me. It's excusable in V-man, she's his daughter. But to read all of the other gals gush all over poor widdle girwie just because she's female revolts me. Now that the planet is as crowded as it is, the life of a female is no less worthless than that of a male.

A haiku. For the female commenters.

Chivalry is dead.
Go, and drill your Birkenhead.
Your cunt is showing.

Corporal punishment for her when she heals up, V-man!
Goose sauce is gander sauce.
