The Green Lantern Accident!
 

30 May 2006 7:30 PM

It's a double turn lane, I was in the inside lane and we were both turning. The other car was supposed to turn into her lane but instead she turned into my lane and hit me on the side. She pushed me into the cement divider (about 12" high)...

here's the damage of the other car..





:mad:

you left some TOYO on there :D :D truck ok ?:eek:

Re: The Green Lantern Accident!
 

And the pics of yours?

Just make sure you get their insurance company to cough up diminished value. Give you a bit more cash for the trouble...

Re: The Green Lantern Accident!
 

TA DAAA!!!!....... here's my truck.


Thanks to SMA Heavy Duty Brushguard.

Re: The Green Lantern Accident!
 

Sucks to be her. But got to heart the Hummers and the SMA guard. Just touch of black paint and the green lantern is as good as new!

Re: The Green Lantern Accident!
 

go big lil buddy and LINE-X that guard :D :D :D

Re: The Green Lantern Accident!
 

Gotta give it to SMA - they may be bankrupt, but they built some serious stuff.

The brush guard may still be a bit tweaked. Of course, it's probably easier to take some trucker chain and fix the tweaking then to get the stink off of a Toyota's drivers seat...

TGL,

Glad your truck came out ok, when I saw the title I was thinking
"OH CRAP".

Glad to hear the damage to your H3 was minor. Most of the crash stories we hear on this forum involve backing into parked cars and objects.

Re: The Green Lantern Accident!
 

i guess this chick couldant see the big a$$ green thing next to her :rolleyes: bet thats the last hummer she cuts off :D

Re: The Green Lantern Accident!
 

thats friggin halarious!!!

a small scratch. i bet that lady was pissed!

Re: The Green Lantern Accident!
 

Dont fu(k with the green lantern! Happy ur rig is just as pretty as before.:D

Re: The Green Lantern Accident!
 

TGL you should just leave the scuff and you can tell people thats from a honda i wheeled :cool:

Re: The Green Lantern Accident!
 

Kick A$$!!! Right ON! Yeah.. It does suck to be her.

Re: The Green Lantern Accident!
 

Yeah, she was not happy and I feel so sorry for her (she's probably around early 60's). But I'm glad I'm driving a Tank!. You should have seen the face of that one driver (Mini Cooper) of the incoming traffic when I hit the divider. :D

Re: The Green Lantern Accident!
 

This is one of the main reasons I bought a hummer. For the next drunk ass that decides to drive and attempt to take my life, I want to send him flying!

Re: The Green Lantern Accident!
 

Brush Guard is scratched, need insurance money to add a winch to draw away from the scratch.

Re: The Green Lantern Accident!
 

glad they bounced off.
question: where'd you get the trick grill? it looks great.
also, what brush guard is that, it doesn't appear to be the stock one.

i backed in to a suburban the other day. :(
bent part of the rear bumper about 1/8 inch but buckled the sub's front bumper!!! :p
those new subs are really built like crap!!!

Re: The Green Lantern Accident!
 

Now that's some wheeling!!! :D

Re: The Green Lantern Accident!
 

TGL you should just leave the scuff and you can tell people thats from a honda i wheeled :cool:


:D funny:D :cool:

Re: The Green Lantern Accident!
 

:D:D And I was worried for a sec.:rolleyes::D

Re: The Green Lantern Accident!
 

Glad you came out on the good side. We have quite a few customers being hit and leaving with un-noticeable "blemish" while destroying the lesser vehicles. "LIKE NOTHING ELSE"

Re: The Green Lantern Accident!
 

Glad you rig came out alright. I can't believe that is all that happened compared to her car. Hummers are freaking amazing :D

When I first read the title of the thread I thought for sure you had run out of things to do to your rig and decided to total it and start over so you have something to do on the weekends :D ;)

Re: The Green Lantern Accident!
 

There's the problem !! :D

Re: The Green Lantern Accident!
 

:DROFLMAO:D

Re: The Green Lantern Accident!
 

OK...so work is filitering out the pictures so I can't see either vehicle involved...but I have to ask. How the fcuk does a hummer get pushed into a wall by a CAR??? Especially if it was during a slow turn? I would think the massive weight would allow you to stand your ground fairly well at low speeds with a smaller vehicle...am I wrong? :confused:

Re: The Green Lantern Accident!
 

I guess your mind would tell you to turn away not into the person. Demo durby rules though, you should have backed up and poped her hood and disable the car so you could move on to the next victom:D

Re: The Green Lantern Accident!
 

I guess with the impact and tried to avoid her (oohh tree hugger) plus she was going faster than me (duh Hummer!). I hit and went over the cement divider (about 8-12" high, thanks to some offroad events). Luckily I didn't hit the incoming traffic and enough clearance for the divider (thanks 35's).

Re: The Green Lantern Accident!
 

Well, I'm glad you're both OK and no real damage to the truck. Looks like the SMA guard was a good investment. :)

Re: The Green Lantern Accident!
 

LOL! :D I need to get the rear bumper guard like StarsnBars has. :D

Re: The Green Lantern Accident!
 

Yeah, I'm glad I have it! :D

Re: The Green Lantern Accident!
 

LMAO!!! :D :D

I wish that was caught on video.:eek: :cool:

Re: The Green Lantern Accident!
 

I have been kicking around the idea of buying the SMA guard for the past few days. Deciding vote cast! Time to lighten the wallet a little bit.

Re: The Green Lantern Accident!
 

lol, yeah I know and I feel so sorry for her. SMA rocks!!!
:D It is a serious piece of equipment.

Re: The Green Lantern Accident!
 

I tell yah, I don't mind being a SMA Brushguard promoter, I am really satisfied.


:D

Re: The Green Lantern Accident!
 

Didn't DRTY have a scratch like that on his brush guard from a guy in a truck that thought he could just merge over and he would move out of the way :D

Re: The Green Lantern Accident!
 

The " Dark Side " was with you, not to mention a strong brushguard. Nice to see you didnt hurt the Green Lantern Project.. :) Might was to get the allignment checked if you curb surfed to hard.

Re: The Green Lantern Accident!
 

LMAO!! :D


Glad you AND the H3 are both safe!!:)

Re: The Green Lantern Accident!
