Dodge Won Chevy Lost

[nps]

Definitely go for a new truck - the front end of that one is messed up.



Anybody notice Pedro's blanket on the floor of the Chevy? Bet he was not only drunk, but also illegal too!

If the door seals and alignments are off when closed, it's bent. That is a total. You can straighten the frame, but it will never be the same as a factory vergin. Make them replace the whole truck

Truck was totaled

I guess I will be hunting a new truck, maybe I will have it longer than three months. Insurance treated me right

DDoster-



Best of both worlds.

You are okay, and they totalled your truck.

I was very concerned about that smack you took.

Something less than a big truck, and it could have been a much worse situation. Here's to sheet metal insurance.



I just traded an '04 Toyota Tundra (under 5000 pounds) for an '06 SLT Quad Cab Cummins (just under 7000 pounds). I definitely did the right thing.



Good luck with your new truck.



Regards-

Was that a diesel?

Was the motor a diesel in that MC? I can't see enough (rather there isn't enough left to identify). My theory is that if it is a diesel, the weight of the block (kinetic energy) offset the heavier metal that the old beast that the other driver was driving. If it wasn't a diesel, you are just damn lucky! I worked for AMR for 13 years and saw a vehicle accident once where an old boat just like that hit a full size chevy blazer and just obliterated the blazer. The driver of the old car died from the injuries (was a "b" actor as we found out later and used the car as a beater in the mountains where we were). The impact was so great that the wagon was buckled right in the middle and made an A-frame in the middle of the road.



Count yourself fortunate you weren't in a dodge neon as that would have been very ugly.



Glad to hear you are ok and that you are getting a new truck!



Take care,
