You know, nothing really kicked in until tonight... I woke up at 1am and kept replaying that moment in my head... I starting thinking about how bad it could of been... If it were me by myself, I wouldn't really care, but my wife was in the car... That ish freaks me out... I still cant believe that happened... If I hadn't been knocked out for a few seconds and a little confused, I would have jammed right after her... But we stopped for a couple mins to see if I was ok, and make sure the car was drivable... I didn't even think about the other truck, naturally I was just trying to protect myself and my wife, and of course the car... By that time it was too late to catch that *****.... I probably could have if I hauled ***, but I was in no condition to hunt her down, besides, all I know that is was a dodge ram truck... In my unlucky life, I have learned that " crap happens"... everything thats happened to me was something that happened specifically to me, but this is the first time that some I love was involved... In a way, Im lucky while being unlucky. heehh... No worries, its only cosmetic and will have it back to new in no time.
Oh yeah, one other thing, my DCCD doesn't work anymore
I bet one of the wheel sensors got pwned. The car still feels great, just looks really bad...
I keep thinking about what could have been.... sucks

If you keep thinking about what could have happened, then you should be realizing how lucky you are to have come out relatively unscathed on all fronts in this situation. Your wife is ok, you're ok, your car has some cosmetic damage, etc. I'm not trying to diminish what happened, but try to appreciate what you have, not what you lost.
Oh, and try to realize that it's only by virtue of your own skill and ability that you and your wife were able to literally walk away from what could have easily been a fatal accident. Be proud of yourself and your reaction--it could have been far worse.

So does this change your view of palomares a little? It's my favorite local road 
One of our SAR members lives off palomares. Are you going to file a report? They don't have local PD, but it's patroled by ALCO SO.

No, there's nothing for me to report... Cops wont do jack, I already tried. They took a report and basically told me "good luck".
Cops are worthless about 85% of the time... Sad but true.

Well, I called and asked about what its going to do to my record, and since Im a life time customer with a clean record (since I was 16), they said that nothing would happen to my rate since I was run off the road... I pay a little more to have Farmers, but in the end its worth it... They really take care of you.
The only thing I had on my record is from totaling my WRX even though it wasn't my fault, they said that there was speed involved according to the damage and such... Its ok though, I was speeding and it could have been avoided if I was going slower, so I ate the cost... Insurance barely went up though... Like an extra $70 a year or somethiing.
One thing sucks is that a little over a year ago I got a ticket for going 90mph or so, bu not radared or paced, the officer just guessed how fast I was going according to how quick he had to go to catch me... Ive delayed the court date 3 times and now have a court date in late may... lol I got the ticket in november of 2007! I'm hoping that the officer wont show up since its been soooo long... Maybe he forgot or something? *crosses fingers*
But yeah, It still hits me while I'm watching TV or something... How close to a fatal accidet we had been in.. It just bothers me because my wife had to encounter that ordeal... I love her to death and couldn't live with myself if I had lost her... I really couldn't... I would want to go instead of her, no question. Am I being an emotional sap or what?!
Seriously though, it bothers the hell out of me when I think about it... I get that weird feeling in my gut... I used to not care about stuff like this, but it seems age has caught up with me.
I'm still immature enough to hope her and her stupid truck get hit by an Isrealy missile and turn her into human patte, that stupid *****.

Man, it hurts to look at my car... Not only because it hurts to see my baby hurt, but its embarassing to drive around with it like that... People stare and point thanks to the diversion sticker that I customized.
Im just happy to have me and my wife undamaged and glad that the car still runs and performs exactly the same sans the DCCD... But what can you do, life is life and Im doing my best to not let this affect me too much... Negative thoughts bring negative events as Ive learned from my past.
Its always good to have a good sense of humor and not let things like this bother you... Im taking it all well minus my wife almost being killed,
Thanks for all the kind words and respect/support from everyone, if I had posted this on NAZICOCK, I would somehow manage to get flamed to death... Here however we're like a big family which is what makes me so proud to be a part of this community... After being a member for 9 years, I'll always be loyal to this site unlike any other. So here's a nice big thank you to you guys for being so supportive through all the crap Ive been through...
