My wife and I are thankful that we purchased a 2500HD last April. On Tuesday before Thanksgiving, a hot-shot drive here in Houston ran a stop sign and I watched him drive right in the driver's side of my truck. He had quite a bit of mass since he was loaded. If we had been in my blazer or my S-10, the best outcome I could have had would have been a stay in the hospital. My wife says she never wants another "small" vehicle since she feels safer "up high where I can see everything that is going on".
I have posted the pictures on yahoo.photos.com/dwsuzcolorado. The cab mountings were broken and the rear of the cab is 4-5" over to the right side of where it should be. Also, the frame is bent. And, naturally, the other drive, who got the ticket, did not have insurance. It was cancelled on October 22. What luck. Now I have to fight the hot-shot company he worked for.
As my boss says "It seems like the stars have to line up for unnatural things to happen". I had just left my doctor's office from an appointment they had requested. I went thinking that some results of tests were given to me incorrectly. When he came in to see me, he said "What can I do for you today?" I told him that his office had requested the appointment and that I did not know why I was there. He looked through my file and figured out that another doctor that had covered for him when he was on vacation did not feel comfortable renewing a prescription that I needed.
He apologized for the inconvenience, renewed my prescription and didn't charge me for the visit. I promptly left his office, drove one block and stopped at a four-way stop intersection, pulled out when it was my turn and was T-Boned as my son says. If not for the unneeded doctor's visit, my truck would be in my garage right now.
