As if my luck couldn't even!

Pick up a copy of treat your own back and treat your own neck, by Dr. McKenzie on amazon. I think they are $8-10 each. Treat your own back has pretty much kept me from a second back surgery.

Thanks for sharing, I'm going to look for these also.

I was in pretty bad shape before I had the surgery, and I've had a couple of bad stretches since. It is something that definitely is a life long concern/problem, once you suffer a major back injury. The key is maintenance. Keep up physical therapy exercises, maintain core body strength, and be active.

I remember you writing about your back issues and hoping that it would get better for you. Having never had back issues I could not imagine what you were going thru. That changed this past May in a big way. Had a compression fracture on T-12 and hairline fractures on the 4 vertebrae directly above it from an offroad vehicle accident.

With no doubt this was the most painful & debilitating experience of my life. When therapy started 3 months after the accident it hurt so bad I couldn't function for 3 days after but helped, if that makes sense. As long as I stay active and moving its OK nowadays. When I miss a week at the gym & spend too much time sitting in a plane or meeting rooms I really notice the discomfort.

The Dr. says that there will be a full recovery, and it does feel better each week, but I've learned that a back takes a long time to heal. Nothing but well wishes to those of you with back pains!

Maaan, that sucks! I ran over a road gator in the 5.0 last week, lucky for my I swerved enough just to fuck up my lower air spoiler under the car. It was $75.00, a couple of minor scratches on the grill and BC, not enough to warrant a new BC or grill thank goodness.
I've decided to park the 5.0 and '17 Stang and they are for local duty only. The Explorer gets driven EVERYWHERE now!

Thing is, our mustangs are our daily drivers. Now if I have to go somewhere I know parking is going to suck, or where I think people might mess with it I'll take the van, but it gets shit mileage and the A/C and heat suck.

Do insurance companies no longer pay for pain and suffering? Seems like you really got messed up in his accident, and someone should be paying.

BI and "pain and suffering" are not the same. From what I understand, you pretty much have to sue for pain and suffering, and even then, NTX jurors are pretty stingy when it comes to "pain and suffering." An attorney currently representing us said he's seen anywhere from $1 over to $1000 over the medical bills (my son is currently being sued on a BI claim). If this had taken place down in the valley, where shit is more crooked than the Clintons, that amount would be drastically higher.

Shit changes quick if you can prove negligence, like the other person texting, being on the phone, etc.

White mustang privilege?

Really though, that sucks. Did you get to keep any good tools?

ha, no, and my dash cam even decided to quit working this morning too. so I don't even have video. Fortunately it's a company truck so at least it has insurance. not a damn thing in his truck was tied down. I chewed him out about that one. He could have killed someone.

You have offended Jobu, you must offer a whole chicken

That's funny right there.

[4bangen]

Damn!! I drove past you this morning when you were there with the guy. I saw the white mustang and said surely that isn’t him again!! That sucks dude!

Ha! that's funny. Just assume any wrecked mustang on the side of the road in Denton Lewisville or Ft Worth is me from now on.
grey 15 GT has been backed into twice, once in the right quarter then recently in the front bumper. it's also been hailed on twice.
The white 16 GT has been rear ended and now had a 6ft long construction jack go through its front bumper.

I must have some serious bad karma floating around out there. On the way into work this morning an F250 wipped out in front of me and slung half the tools out of the back of his truck. I missed one of the large jacks, by swerving into the ditch but the other one was a mustang seeking missile and found my front bumper. The guy then just drove off not noticing anything happened. I came out of the ditch full on dukes of hazard stile and caught up to him quickly. long story short I've already filed it on his insurance and am just sitting here wondering what I did cosmically to have such a large target on both mustangs.
this is the third wreck in the last 3 or 4 months.

Why did you hide your plate number on the last pics, but not on the first page? Lol

those where from a facebook group. I didn't want my lp all over the fb group. then I said who cares, and didn't edit the rest.

[line-em-up]

Yeah, but they didn't match the paint very well by the rear plate and had over-spray, looks horrible!

lol. I didn't get it until I went back and looked at the pic.
