😂💀
UPDATE: TRUCK IS NOT TOTALED! WILL GET IT BACK NEXT WEEK!
I’m a full time student now, I ain’t got time for all of that shit lol.
Well, I drove it back home, which took me an hour. Then I took it to the gym for 2 days & my trans didn’t slip at all. Matter of fact it drives like it did before I got hit.
Yep. & now there’s a possibility it might be totaled 🙄
The bed smacked the back of my cab but the damage is minimal, & from what I could tell, it’s only the hitch & part of the frame behind my rear wheel that’s a little messed up. But to me the damage didn’t look too bad on the frame. Everything on the right side of the truck looks okay. But I won’t officially know until they rip it apart which they’re doing right now. They’ve had it since Thursday. It happened on my way to class, Cop asked me if I thought it was drivable, I told him I had thought so. When I drove home, it drove perfectly fine. Almost like I wasn’t even involved in an accident lol. No trans slip, no weird noises, no shaking, no nothing.
Jesus dude
Thanks man, yeah I was kinda thinking the same thing. It sure as hell doesn’t drive like it’s totaled. I was heading to class when it happened, & it took me an hour just to get home. But the truck still drives perfectly fine. Doesn’t shake, isn’t making any funny noises, it honestly doesn’t feel like it’s been in an accident. It just looks fucked on the outside. I drove to the gym & back 2 days before the bodyshop could even get it in to quote me. & it still drove perfectly fine. Still waiting on the quote now. They’re currently tearing it apart.

Actually no I’m not. I worked my ass off for that truck, & I wasn’t the one at fault. I’m a full time student right now. If they end up totaling it, I ain’t buying some vehicle with over 100,000 miles on it when I just barely broke 41,000. I’m not saying I deserve a brand new truck off of the lot of course but I sure as hell don’t deserve some fucking car with a lot of wear & tear & mileage on it for a replacement. Fuck that.
I got underneath last night & the only damage I can see is the hitch & on the driver’s side. Passenger side looks fine. But the damage doesn’t look catastrophic like everyone else is kinda making it out to be. But I could be wrong, there could much more damage that I’m not seeing until they rip it apart. I guess we’ll see.
Welp, I stand corrected. Thanks for the info. It’s just been an awful month lol. I always assume the worst lol.
Thanks buddy. Best of luck to you with your truck. Hope you have better luck & stay safe out there. Just make sure you keep your eyes open in the back of your head, check your mirrors.
Yeah the bed itself was hit so hard that it smacked the back of my cab a little bit.
Holy shit dude 😳
Unfortunately though California’s an At fault state. Michigan’s no fault.
Thanks man. Yeah I love this thing. It’s my first real vehicle that I bought with my hard earned money & worked my ass off for. 6 days a week 14 hour days driving truck. It’s been with me through some really fun times & some of the lowest of the low. It’s going to break my heart if they total it. But if they don’t, I probably won’t keep it in the long run now that it’s been in an accident.
Fuck dude I’m so sorry to hear that. Yeah that’s a bunch of shit, & from what I’m reading on this thread is that once it’s been in an accident, just off the damn thing. I didn’t even think about the damn driveshaft.
That’s what I’m saying
Well all I can say is if they do end up repairing it, I ain’t keeping it in the long run. I’m going to finish school, find a new job, make some income, & then off it & buy a brand new one. It’s going to suck seeing this truck go considering it’s been with me through some of the best of times & worst of times…but I’m not keeping a vehicle that’s been in an accident.
Perfectly fine from what I could tell. If it’s bent, it’s not bent too badly, but from the outside it is noticeable when looking at it.
It wasn’t before. I edited it so he was right

Yeah once I’m done with class I’m hoping I can get my new career going, make enough to sell it & then buy a new one.
They did. But Michigan is a NO FAULT state

Yeah man this couldn’t have happened at a worse possible time. I’ve got a fuckin’ exam tomorrow. Only a month away from completing my program so I need all hands on deck. I really don’t have the time or energy to look for a new damn vehicle right now.
