Got that dreaded phone call

Well today, I got that dreaded phone from my teenage son, all parents hope they never get this call. My son called me today, he had a wreck on his way home from school, had his little brother with him. Both are fine, the other driver is fine, very thankful. The taco can be fixed.

 

Glad they were not hurt. Vehicles can be repaired or replaced.

 

Could have been worse! Thankful they're ok!

 

Glad everyone's okay brotha! That's what matters most.

Truck can be fixed. In the grand scheme of things it doesn't look to bad. I've seen worse damage from hitting deer.

 

They are OK and that's what matters Taco took a hit but doesn't look too bad. Definitely fixable.

 

Always good to hear everyone's safe! Taco's a great little vehicle for that - mine protected my wife quite well in a crash at highway speeds a couple winters ago. The truck was a total loss, but she ended up OK, and that's all that mattered.

Take care!

 

Yeah, it can be fixed. Haven't really looked under the hood at the core support and what not. But it looks like a fender, front bumper, park light and a alignment will take care of it. Thanks for the kind words, I'm very thankful they are ok.

 

Glad your kids are okay! The truck did its job. As you said, the truck can be fixed..

 

Good to see they are good to go.

 

Lol. Hell to the no. Hopefully that doesn't happen for another 8-10 yrs.

 

My son gets his temps on Friday.
Not really looking forward to it for this reason.

 

It ain't fun. I would PRE deploy the air bags

I would PRE deploy the air bags if i could....

 

Thanks Ron.

 

Glad no one was hurt!!!!
I remember getting that same call when mine had his first accident, not good.

 

It's heart dropping for sure.

 

Put a new head light in that sucker and let him roll it like that for 6 months just to make sure he is more careful that's if it was his fault lol. I'm dreading the day my 13 yr old daughter starts driving. Smh

 

Glad to hear everyone is safe.

 

Glad everyone is ok, thats the main thing.

 

Sorry to hear about the accident, the main thing is that they are okay.

 

I see what you are saying [I think]--that the call scared you--until you knew everyone was okay.

Your thread title scared me, until I found out it was just the truck. You are WINNING.

 

Sorry to hear about your sons truck but glad no one was hurt.

 

Glad both the boys are ok.

 

Glad everybody is ok. Hope it's a good learning experience for him as a driver. If this minor fender bender can teach him something and help him avoid a serious accident in the future then it may just be a blessing in disguise.

 

Got that call myself years ago, so I know how you feel. Glad everyone is ok.

 

Perfect!!! Everyone's OK and damage isn't bad. Time for some father son bonding/ repair time.

 

I've gotten that call. Twice! Both my sons. One totaled a '98 Honda Accord, the other a '99 Corolla. Neither time their fault. Thank the Lord they both walked away unscathed. Things can be fixed or replaced. Hug him a little tighter tonight!

 

Yeah, the damage is minimal, but I was scared to death until I got there and realized my boys were ok. The youngest boy, 12, was really scared and shook up. My oldest, the driver, is 16. He was shook up pretty good, but all he kept saying is, daddy I'm so sorry, I'm so sorry. I told him it's ok, I can fix the truck, I can't replace you. Now he's just heartbroken about his truck. It will all good in a couple weeks.

I appreciate all the kind words.

 

Sounds like you’ve got some good boys, glad they are ok. My little girl is 2 and I am scared to death of her independence! I’m in Taylors and I recently learned our area of wade hampton to Greer is one of the most dangerous places to drive. Think our unlimited access 4-5 lane highways are to blame. I’ve driven in Easley, it’s a similar nightmare. This rural infrastructure was not designed to handle the traffic flow we ask them to!
