The cell service sucks where we live so she lucky she was able to get enough signal to call the house so I could go get them. Needless to say I was not prepared for what I saw when I came around the corner to pick them up in Heathers car.

So no damage to the front corner? Usually when I see stuff like that the bumper ends up being pushed in a little.

I bet that was a ride for her. I bet with the exception of Jason, we are all pretty familiar with that feeling of being pulled off the road and having to fight it back. The first few times cause some puckering.

Exactly, none of it had to do with cows or mailboxes... :redneck:

The cow though, to be fair, I think hit him. I think multiple vehicles of his have been damaged by cows actually.

First of all, I'm glad nobody was hurt and the truck wasn't damaged. Now I have to ask the question nobody's touched. How'd you get it out? I'm assuming the Outback wasn't up to the task.I bet that Outback could get the job done. Cassie's is a champ.

I called a towing company and the humorous thing is they sent a truck about the same size as mine. They almost didn't get it out.I just looked at the pictures again. Did you reposition the car to get a picture from both sides? I imagine Heather didn't appreciate you taking the extra effort to capture this memory.

Bet he pulled up on the spot and thought... Oh crap... :dope:
Glad he did get it out and more so that nobody had an airbag deploy in their face.
You got it out just in time for the deep freeze, if you are getting what we are due.
- Wed is a high of -16 and low of -25 ambient.

That was pretty much his expression when I pulled up and got out of the car as he was setting up for the first pull I even told the dispatcher exactly what the truck was and to send something heavy to get it out. Me too but I don't think the air bags would have deployed even if the truck hit a tree because what the picture doesn't show is the corner about 100 yards behind the truck that you can't do more than 35 MPH around with the road in the shape it's in.
When I fired the truck up after he got it out the dash said -11* that night not counting the NW wind. It was freaking cold even with my Arctic Carhartt jacket on and every pen we used to fill out the paper work froze in under a minute standing outside.
