Default Tmaxx VS. Car

Well, it happened. Driving with a friend and his tmaxx. So im drving, jump off a ramp, the tmaxx slides on its nose, flips over on its top. So I start walking towards. MY MOTHER!!! In her fricken huge Excursion. If you dont know what a Ford Excursion is, then try google becuase you will not beleive this. Shes drives up and runs it over not watching where she is driving. I would have driven away but remember its still flipped on its top. IDC if u beleive me but this is what happened. Due to the size of images, i will have to use double posts.

What's an excursion? Is that when you have to push really hard to get the turtle out?

Dang, I wish I had $50000+ to buy an Excursion!

The only damage you got from that 4000+ lbs SUV running over your RC was bent wheels and a bad body post???!!! You are seriously lucky!

Was your truck on dirt or grass when it was run over? I bet it would have been a real pancake if she had steam rolled over it on the concrete driveway (assuming she caught it squarly with a wheel).

lol.. I know what an excursion is. pos.

I just love making fun of the name.. sounds like a strainer on the dumper.

"Man, I ate way too much cheese at the party last night and this morning had quite an excursion and popped vessels in my eye..."

the excursion is closer to 5500lbs... if not more.

HAHAH IT WAS ON CONCRETE!!!!!!

Our Excursion has a V10 in it weighing the whole truck in around 6300 pounds!

And look at how bad my luck has been with these cars and finally it payed off!

I've seen several tmaxxes with roll cages get ran over buy small cars and they were demolished. Obviously with the weight of an Excursion and that is all that happened there is no way it got completely ran over, she must have just caught part of it. You got very lucky!!!!!!

I bet she caught a part of it becuase it was on its lid and all i no is that it went under it and the back wheel caught it!
