Last night I went to the big river sand drag nationals.It was really cold so me and my freind left early.He wanted to switch trucks.I said no not yet.Maybe later.


Well we got close to his house.I figured this short of distance would be fine.So I said alright we can switch now.So I get behind the wheel of his truck and take off.This road is pretty curvy and I am not used to driving a stick yet.So anyway I am having a real problem.He is about 5 ft 10.I am 6 ft 5.So there is a little difference in where we like our seats.But he just put bucket seats in his truck and he welded them to the floor.I am really uncomfortable driving this truck.So I come around a corner that is way sharper than I expected cut the wheels hard and spun a 180 hit a embankment and flipped the truck on it's side.


I don't remember flipping or how I got out.I just remember Letting the clutch out hearing tires sqeel and my freind running up to the truck asking me if I was alright.

Anyway a semi came up flipped his truck over.And He went and got the people he lives with.We changed the flat tire and pulled his truck home.The truck is totaled.The frame is bent the cab side is smashed and the bed is rolled inward.


So now I owe him 450 dollars and he is stuck riding the bus.


For all U other kids that just got your license.This should be a lesson.Don't drive on unfamilar roads at night in a vehicle U are uncomfortable driving.And U are not invincible.I was only going 30 mph when I flipped.But it happened so fast I can't remember it!



Well what a saturday night huh!

I've let a freind of mine drive my car before too (I'm 16). The funny thing though is that he drives better with my car than what he does with his. But after what I just read I don't think I'll let him drive it again. I had the same fears about something like that happening.

Never let friends borrow anything that you don't want tore up! Accidents can and will happen, and 95% of the time you get screwed.

You got that right, never lend your friends your ride or your girl.

So this guy asks to swap trucks, you say yea and total his to the toon of $450. This is the most expencive night in your life?

Don't worry, things will cost much more wene you get older. One night me and my wife were injoying or evening. 9 months latter it cost me $15,000. Now my daughter is 11 months old. That evening is now up to maybe $30,000. It just keeps costing more.

In all honisty, as Rob said, don't let your friends ride your quad, car or girl.
