Wrecked (Part 2)

I’m finally in the mood to follow up on the news I shared with you on Tuesday. So, here is the rest of the story…

Teresa and I were on White Horse Rd. (Hwy 25) in Greenville heading to Asheville, NC to spend some quality time with our family for Mother’s Day when all of a sudden our day went from very exciting to very intense in just a matter of brief seconds.

As we were coming up on Furman University, we passed a BP Station positioned slightly on a hill to the right side of the road. Teresa and I were in the left hand lane, just barely beside a Toyota Tacoma in the right handlane, when out of the corner of my eye I see an old school beat up brown pickup truck appear to pull out into on coming traffic.

Before I knew it, the brown pickup struck the Toyota on the right side, which immediately drove this Toyota directly into our front end passager side, catching our bumper on its rear as we were drug down the highway right into the median just freakishly allowing us to escape the on coming traffic on the other side of the road.

The result: Our front end completely CRUSHED & TRASHED all over the Interstate!

Needless to say, it was the most scared, yet most pissed off, I have ever been in my entire life. As I told you before, we had just made the 2nd payment on the thing that very same morning just before we left the house.

And to make matters worse, we just so happened to discover that the pickup that caused the entire mess was the result (even according to the state trooper’s accident report) of a “DRIVERLESS VEHICLE IN MOTION!!!”  

That’s right. The idiot at the gas station filled up his truck, walked inside to pay, and “FORGOT” to put the stupid piece of junk BACK INTO GEAR, leaving his vehicle at the mercy of the gravitational pull of the earth and the on coming traffic directly located at the bottom of the hill.

OH, I WAS HOT!!! Especially when he walked out of the station, took a look around, saw what he had done, and all he could offer as an explanation was, “Sorry dude, I didn’t realize it was out of gear…”

Are you freakin’ kidding me????

I was THIS CLOSE to breakin’ all out, trailer trash, Westminster raised, redneck on this ol’ boy.

Anyway, it was definitely a day I would love to forget. The only problem is I CAN’T forget about it and move on because this dude’s freakin’ insurance has taken it upon itself to drag their feet through the whole process as SLOWLY AS HUMANLY POSSIBLE.

And their excuse, “We’re still investigating the accident sir…”

Still INVESTIGATING??? What is there to investigate!

Your IDIOT left his truck out of gear, destroyed two other vehicles in the process, and came as close as you could possibly come to killing everyone involved. And you STILL need to INVESTIGATE this deal?

Morons.

Anyway, this explanation is turning out to be more of a rant, but thank you for still reading (if you are) and for caring enough about us to check back for the full story on what really happened.

Again, we sincerly appreciate all your prayers, phone calls, emails, and responses as we have tried to work through this whole ordeal. Hope it hasn’t been too disheartening but I do appreciate the opportunity to vent.

I guess the therapy session has ended. So, there you have it. Just another day in the life of the Porterhouse!

Like I said before, CRAZY story!  “DRIVERLESS VEHICLE IN MOTION“

Seriously, you have GOT to be kidding me…
