Gearman1987,

I know that Hemi is FAST and I know you were LATE for dinner, but I thought you got rid of your Titan because of the brake thing. J/K LOL.

My sister sent me this picture and the title of the Email was Dodge tough. You probably already saw it but I got a laugh out of it and thought about that nice blue Hemi you have.

LATER
ICE

BTW: I SINCERELY hope this isn't your truck and if it is I HOPE YOU ARE OK.

Oh, I got a feeling your going to pay for that.

That happened in my town right down the road from me, (with a SuperDuty I think) The guy didnt make it and they found out he had a heart attack while driving. There were skid marks on the front yard that would appear and disappear leading the investigators to believe that he was traveling at high speed (passed out) and jumped the curb and kept bouncing into the house.

Wow, I couldn't figure out how it got up there,so I thought it was staged.Now I'm a little sad.

Well, that guy might have been alright, thats not the same incident as the one down the road from me.

Sometimes you have to believe what you read.(Superduty)Doh!

JAOHN · 01-13-2005, 05:09 PM

Well, I thought that it was somewhat staged also, because from the picture above, you can see that the street runs parallel to the front of this mobile home. and the tow truck chains look kinda odd, since there is no apparent signs that the truck has had an attempt to pull the truck out of the home.

then I went to Snopes.com, and here's the page on it, and the other pictures do support VW'72's comment that the truck was on a severe bounce, and that the front yard area near that home is a bit lower that the curb level. With adequate speed, I think that it's plausible, but just horrible for the family of the driver ((((??? if it's really true ???))))

By the way, VW'72... I'm sure that snopes.com would be happy to have any real information regarding whether their information is accurate or not. If you some have some verifiable info or pix, that they don't have already, then I'm sure they would be happy to update the status of this urban legend.

Gearman1987 · 01-13-2005, 06:50 PM

LOL! That's a great pict - I've seen it before & I think there was another pict from the insode of the mobile home. Thanks for the laugh Ice. I'll see if I can find the inside photo.

GOT IT - LOL!

Rumor has it they had a nasty divorce and she got the house and truck awarded to her. So, he delivered the truck to her!!

fellowx · 01-13-2005, 07:05 PM

WOW! that truck held up good. I can't imagine how our Titan would look like after something like that.

BilltheCat · 01-13-2005, 07:07 PM

Ya gotta watch out for those mobile homes. They'll pull out in front of ya when you least expect it.

*Titan2004* · 01-13-2005, 07:33 PM

Maybe the guy freaked out when he realized, "I coulda hadda Titan".

No no no, lol like I said, the accident that I saw is NOT the same one pictured above.

The truck that I saw went into the garage and it was not that high off the ground either. It actually hit an older muscle car and a jetski (both totaled)

You have to remember there isn't much to a mobile home though. I think there made with tooth pics and newspaper.

NO, I think specs require popsicle sticks and recycled cardboard....
