Yea them are some tough little cars Murph. A Toyota Corolla was my first real car.... I actually had a car before that but i only got to drive it a couple times so i dont count it... But i got into several wrecks in the toyota and it held up great. Even when i finally totaled it out the engine still started right up and purred.... But the entire body was ruined, it had a broke axle and went half way underwater.....I totaled it out in the 2nd year i owned it.. I got it with 2 miles on it. Brand new. I drove it a LOT and put a lot of miles on it in a short time but that engine still had a lot of life in it. Good cars for sure.

Wife and daughter were in a vehicle accident yesterday evening. Everyone walked out of it just fine. The wife has minor bruising and soreness from the seat belt and airbags. Erin was in her car seat and was more scared of my wife's screaming than the violence of action. The guy that caused the accident was booked for OWI on the spot.

Glad to hear they are alright, sorry that guy survived to get arrested. I have less than zero tolerance for people that knowingly endanger other people's lives for the sake of alcohol.

I will hate on a lot of things Asia does. However making cheap safe cars is one thing they do well! The Corolla is definitely one of the better ones! Did you get pictures of the crash? It might be worth it to send them to Toyota. Write up a li'l sob story to go with it.

My corolla was my second vehicle. Mt first was an E-250 conversion van converted for hauling 2 wheelchairs. Which is what I learned to drive on. I ended up killing my Corolla by downshifting into 3rd at 80.

I just dressed up for a little girl's tea party, including sports coat, bowtie, wingtips, the works.

Nothin' wrong with that. At least you weren't asked to go the other way and do the whole sundress and painted nails thing. :p

I'm sure glad they're OK. Thank goodness for seatbelts and airbags.

Damnit, that's no fun. I'm really glad to hear they were OK though.
 
In other news, Santa came yesterday afternoon and brought Ang's new hammock and accessories, a boonie hat for me, a little LED lantern and... a 10" Lodge dutch oven. :)
 
Happy your wife and kid are doing fine Murph. Must have been a scary experience for them, hope they're doing as good mentally as they are physically.
 
Really glad that everyones safe and sound Murph. A car is just a car. Thats easy to replace, all things considered.
 
It's never a good thing to get in to an accident but that's great when they can all walk away from it.

Ended up going with a different pack but that MR 3 day assault pack is on my long list now. That thing looks pretty sweet.

It's funny; I decided on the pack and then looked at their website and sure enough "sold out". Within a week three of them pop up on the exchange. What are the odds?

Got a lot of snark to catch up on.

Sounds like a great score!!!

Now we need pics of said boonie hat!!! Being worn or not, that is your choice LOL
 
Anyone ever held a Brous SS Ranger or other similar model of his? Is it comfortable in the hands to you??

I was offered a new one in trade for the folder, Im still considering it. at first i was a little worried the handle would be too small... But after looking at a bunch of google images it looks like its a bigger knife that the Candiru. Still size doesnt equate to comfort. It looks like a cool knife though.

I read a bunch of reviews that all say its comfortable... Im a little skeptical about that though..... Id like a Beckerheads opinion if any ever held one...
