Uninsured with suspended license hit me head on this morning...
... and totalled one of the best 93's around.
BEFORE :
NOW :
I am almost too mad to post right now. I have cuts and will be sore tomorrow.
I have prolly 100hrs plus getting it to look like that !
Other driver was in a Dodge Caravan and had a kid in there. She decided not to wait for a stopped car on her side and pulled right in front of me... I turned hard RIGHT and she tagged me and pushed the toy into a ditch.
Even with no airbags, I escaped any injury to speak of. Heck, my electric windows and alram still work. Her Dodge would ot shut off until Fire crew cut battery.
Its gonna be a strggle to find one as clean as this with 175k on it.
Sad freakin morning...

He has already owned a nicely modded 3rd gen.
The 3.0 is in top condition.
The frame would have to be checked to make sure it is straight.
David--If you need some help or anything, let me know

It was right on Janke about 1 mile from my place and 1/4 mile from yours at 7.40 am this morning.
I can't believe such a nice truck has to die this way.....

let the insurance total it. Then buy it back from them. Take the money and do all the things to the truck you always put off.
Also make sure when the insurance totals it, you have reciepts ready for all the parts you have on there to get the true value of the vehicle
your other option is to strip her and transfer it to a new rig.

Ah, that'll buff out
Glad to hear you're OK. Cars can be replaced, people can't.
Bastard who hit you needs to go to jail.

Dude, sucks so much to hear and worse to see! Thankfully you're okay.
Just north of you in MD the state requires all drivers to carry uninsured motorist damage insurance. IIRC, even if you only carry liability, if you are hit by one, your vehicle is covered as if it was a comp/collision case, usually without an increase to you. You can't help it if they weren't covered and they hit you.
I'd check with your insurance company and see what they say. Let us know how it works out.
