My poor classic drifter truck

in #life7 years ago

This is the sad story my of 1986 Dodge Ram 50 AKA baby drifter OG. It was morning time and i was on my way to work. As usual it was just raining and the road was slick. I was going down a winding hill. There was a person behind me at a decent distance. as i go through the curves i start to slow down as the next curve is very sharp. as i press the brake i feel myself beign thrown forward as the car behind me hits my rear bumper. Not hard enough to take them out or even slow them down. We were going downhill and around a sharp curve and thats all it took to spin me sideways down the hill in the oncoming lane overlooking the cliff that was going to be the death of me. My inner voice told me loud and clear PUSH IN THE CLUTCH!! I did. As soon as i compressed the clutch pedal my truck broke loose of current trajectory and i started going backwards away from the cliff and SMACK right in to the shoulder in my original lane. As my rear end collided with the shoulder my head went backwards and through my rear window taking it our in one piece. I drove to work 27 miles away afterwards. The car hit and ran. I had no recourse so this is now my race car project. here are the photos one of which includes @justinashby 20170612_185215.jpg 20170612_185227.jpg20170612_185249.jpg20170612_185305.jpg20170612_185313.jpg20170612_185323.jpg20170612_185339.jpg20170612_185431.jpg

Nice car! Is it v8? And never drifting downhill! Just uphill. We drifting at winter on roads with
ice-crusted ground. And driftig downhill is very danger, if you not Keiichi Tsuchiya =) Becarefull.

No V8 right now im running the factory block and head which are a 2.0 SOHC I4 RWD 5 speed trans. Locked Rear end, but i did not do this drifting.... i survived because i know how to drift but this was not for fun. someone was not paying attention to the road and hit me going downhill around a sharp curve. i ended up in the on coming with my front tires scraping accross the edge of a cliff side in the oncoming lane.

Wow!
