Car/Truck Lovers Weep
Mar. 19th, 2009 12:11 pmI just found out that my dad was in a wreck last Wednesday that totaled his beautiful Special Edition "Terminator 3" Toyota Tundra.
Not only does this suck for the truck, but DAMN, why did it take a week for me to find out?
Sucks.
Dad is ok. He hydroplaned after hitting a puddle on the freeway from the rain storms last week which then crashed the truck into the retaining wall. The damage on the frame was too great for insurance to cover. That was a damned fine truck and he had plans, after sinking ~$3k into an old beat up (thanks to my sister) car, to just drive the car to and from work and save the truck mileage and make it last as close to forever as he could.
Forever was not as long as he anticipated.
Once again, this is just another added burden to my parents that THEY DON'T NEED NOR DESERVE!
I'm hating the universe on their behalf at the moment.
