Been close to twelve years ago I had a real idiot hit me. Best I could estimate he was running well over 70, in a 45 zone, when he passed a lady in the middle of an S curve. The roads were wet and he lost it just as he went into the last curve. He hit me hit me head on with the passanger side of his car carrying both of us nearly 40 yards off the road. Had it been a full frontal impact things would have been far different given that we would have hit with a combined speed around 115 MPH. As it was it pushed the side of his car nearly to the center console, and the front of my truck back enough to buckle the floor pans. He was airlifted to the hospital, bleeding out of his nose, and ears. I heard the cops discussing the extent of their investigation just in case he "didn't make it". The firefighters on the scene told me I was lucky to be alive, and even luckier since I walked away with nothing more than a bruised chest from my seat belt. What was sickening to watch was the firemen going through the car with a fine tooth comb looking for an injured child because he had car seats in both the front and back seat. Thankfully he didn't have his kids with him or the ones on the passanger side (the front expecially) would have probably been killed on impact.
Ultimately he was never charged with anything because the cops didn't see the accident happen(they had the lady he passed as a witness to his speed and recklessness)> Too the would have had to call the SHP to do the investigation needed to convict him of anything. Funny he had totaled two Lexus cars about 6 months earlier and wasn't charged with anything, again, because a cop didn't see it happen. Even so, the officer at the scene estimated his speed at nearly 55 in a 35 zone when he lost control on the accident report.

Today's Featured Article - Uncle Cecil's Super A Lives Again - by Mike Purcell. A week or so out of most of my childhood summers was often spent with my Uncle Cecil and Aunt Sissie in the small East Texas town of Maydelle on their 80 acre farm. Some of my fondest memories of these visits are those of learning to drive a tractor at the helm of Uncle Cecil’s 1948 Farmall Super A. Uncle Cecil was the second owner of this wonderful little tractor, but it was almost as though he had adopted an infant. The original owner was a man from Minnesota who bought her from a local dea
