Default Like a rock.

Well, got in my 1st accident in a very long time. Got slammed in the rear quarter by someone that ran a redlight doing around 55mph. Before I realized what happened, I was facing the wrong direction, side airbags were deployed, hazards turned on automatically, and someone from on star was talking to me. No one was hurt thankfully. The little import that hit me was a mess but the ole truck held up pretty well. I am amazed at all the technology built into these trucks! This could have been much worse than what is was. Glad I drive a Chevy!!!! I will try to post pics later today.

Glad you're ok man! I remember in my accident the OnStar guy was what snapped me back to reality. Rollover in a TBSS and not a scratch, I was VERY lucky... probably had a little help that day.
