Smart family! I have always said I did not buy my truck for fuel economy. I bought it for protection!! And for other cool stuff like transporting camping gear and mountain bikes to remote areas or taking all the kids and their cousins to play and many other very fun activities!

Rest assured, the Honda looked far worse than my 80.

Thanks. I am planning on a full recovery. I am also looking forward to the hunt for another Land Cruiser!

Thanks! :-)

Interesting. The lead singer does have a wicked laugh!

Doug, That is very good information on the glass. In fact, I do remember that when I had my windshield replaced, I verified that they glued the window like you said. So, thanks to you, I did some life saving in advance several years ago!! As for the extra gas, I have told the guys I work...

I will remind him!!! Of course, I am pretty sure he won't forget it for quite a while!

I will check that out. Lots of free time now!

Thank you. One of the most amazing things to me is the drivers window shattered, and most of that glass ended up on me, yet I did not get cut. The ER doc did have to retrieve all the glass that ended up in my left ear! We are pretty sure the huge gash on my knee came from hitting the keys in...

I remember that story well. His brother Doug wrote a very in depth account of the accident and the shape of the vehicle. The sad thing is this is the second Land Cruiser I have been hit in. I had a pristine 1988 FJ62 that was totaled when a semi punted a Ford Explorer into at at a high rate...

That has always been my thinking. I would rather use more gas and be protected than be in a gas sipper and have no protection whatsoever!

The other car was a 2001 Honda CRV. My truck pretty much destroyed it. I remember looking over at it while I was still in my truck. It was punted 75 yards to the north and was in the opposite shoulder from me, so three full traffic lanes plus a turn lane away from me, plus the distance north...

Yes. I am a chick. A very tough chick!

Ahhhhh...someone is working graveyards tonight! I, for one, am very grateful that your partner was willing to help pull your weight a little. I am sure he/she did not mind. Thank you for all you do. Like I said in my story, I was very comforted when the first responders made their...

Humbling, isn't it?

Thanks, Paul. Now all I have to do is convince my husband that I do not need a hand bike, and I will be good!

You give me much hope. I know I have some pretty serious hardware in my heel right now. I am lucky to have a good job. I have six months with full pay, and then I go to 70%. Hopefully, I don't make it to 70%. That being said, this job is our lively hood. I probably would not be as...

They cut both doors off. I remember one of the guys commenting to do whatever to get me out because there was no way we were going to use it as a backup truck!

Here is a pic of me and my truck!

Mt kids are the same way. We bought my 80 a year before my son was born. He is eight, My girls are twelve and thirteen. Needless to say, this is the truck they all remember. You will be happy with an 80. They are good, tough vehicles. And yes, you can put three across in car seats...
