Im seeing a false claim investigation in the near future

I remember nothing of the accident. Coldcocked by a tire/wheel from my tow dolly behind the front seat. Didn't wake up until they were getting ready to load my in the ambulance. Apparently I pulled in front of an '88 Blazer making a legal U-Turn here in FL. I started a job at a small body shop and I was taking over an old quarter panel for scrap. Now my whole truck is scrap.

What day is it? I don't know...

What's your name? (blank look)

Who's playing baseball tonight? GO TIGERS!!!

Those were my responses. I'm glad I had my priorities right...

At least I still have my 2010 Caliber. That poor truck...It's like a good friend you never plan on getting rid of.

Damn dude, glad youre ok.
 
Glad you are alright. Its amazing how many people are killed or seriously injured by something loose in their vehicle during an accident.
 
This happened Thursday night. And Trunk, I normally do wash the wheels, but that's how quickly cheapo brake pads get the wheels dirty. And damn, is it a bitch getting that dust off.

I've heard using factory brake pads don't make as much (or any) dust. I know there is no dust on my Caliber's wheels.

And as the saying goes, any accident you walk away from is a good one...and I walked out of the hospital after getting checked over.
 
Two years ago I got to watch the Indy 500 and most of the Charlotte 600 from the ER.(they started moving me into a room with 10 laps to go so I missed the very end of the race...the bastards!) I didn't miss a lap because of the catheter that was installed. They should market those for football bowl game season so you'd never have to get out of your chair.
