The start for my BOV

[civiliansoldier]

Sorry I haven't posted in awhile folks. I have been a little disgusted with my preparation efforts. I had put a lot of time and money into this Bronco to make the best BOV I could. About two months ago an eighteen wheeler ran a red light and put the passenger seat of the Bronco about where the driver seat should be. According to witnesses the Bronco rolled four times after the impact and landed on its driver side. I remember nothing. All I know is my Bronco is gone. I sustained a severe concussion and have some short term memory loss, but no broken bones or other injuries. I was extremely lucky to survive. From what I am told the semi was traveling around 45 mph when it hit me. I guess I will be looking for a replacement eventually. I hope this memory loss goes away soon. It is very frustrating. Throw out some Ideas for a replacement. I will be looking for something EMP proof as possible that can carry gear and a family of five. Old 4X4 Suburban?

Sorry about your accident ,you lost a good BOV , but you can be thankful you weren't hurt more than you were. The Suburban would be a good choice ,but I've always been partial to the Bronco's,I had a 78 that I installed a 429 in , limited slip front,and back. I think that thing would pull a house off the foundation. Hope you have a speedy recovery.

I'm very sorry for your accident and the loss of your BOV. Seems a small price to pay for being alive. If you had been in a new car, jeep whatever your chances of survival would have been very slim. As far as replacing it goes I would think that by the time your attourney gets through with the trucking company and or insurance company you should be able to afford an Abrams M1A1.
Best wishes,

We shall see how much I end up with. I am only going to pursue what is fair compensation. I am not the greedy type. I hope to be able to afford an H-1 Hummer for my BOV, lol. Might not be a wise choice though. More than likely the monies I get will be saved for my childrens educations.
