... 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...

David

 

Holy ÅÅÅÅ David!!!!

I am glad you are OK.

man, I am speechless. We just talked yesterday about new tires....

That really stinks.

If I can do anything for you, please let me know.

Take care

 

That's terrible! Glad you're okay and hope you can get another Runner (if that can't be fixed).

 

Whoa, that sucks. Good to hear you are going to be OK. Have you started looking for another rig, yet? Sometimes that helps get over the anger.

 

Your Runner was the nicest 2nd gen i have ever seen. I am glad to hear you are OK! You will find one just as good!
Sorry to hear about your loss. It could be worse!

-Mike

 

David 4runner is/was truly one of the nicest 2nd gen around. My favorite color, paint that looked brand new, tawtefully modded, ran like a champ.....

Not trying to make you feel bad.

Do you have any idea what you will do with it????

 

Engine swap, sas, new cross member, tjm/arb - Woot woot!

Or 3rd Gens are pretty sexy...

Too early? Sorry

 

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

 

Thanks Erik,

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.....

Really PO'd.

I do get dealer price on parts so I may get an expert opinion.

David

 

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.

 

First glad your OK, besides the truck, Second that SOB needs to take responibility, Sorry that happened, any pictiures of the @#$% minivan. If they are going total it, make sure those mods are on the next or they pay for those too. I can't even to begin to now how you feel :cry:

 

I got hit 2 summers ago, by a druken, no insurance, no license #%^&*, needless to say my insurance had to pay for it all, and made my insurance did go up a little. All that really matters though is your ok, and here to see another day....Life go's on

 

there's only one problem with that. the other driver was uninsured and this is a 93 - so most likely liability only. sounds like it may be lawsuit time cause i doubt that anyone driving a kid around on a suspended license and uninsured would care to repay you on their own...


sucks about the death of a nice 2nd gen... hope you get just compensation...

 

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.

 

Outrageous. I feel so badly for you. Glad you're relatively unscathed.

 

I know the feeling. Second gens. are dropping like flies lately it seems...

Sorry for your loss, once you start doing it all over again, you will feel better though.

Lamm

 

RIP 4runner. its ok you can replace the truck thankfuly nobody was seriously hurt. but yeah by it back from the insurence company and fix it up.

 

Man, that really sucks. Hope you get what you deserve from that idiot...

 

Im in the your same shoes, ive got a nice 92 but only carry liablity on it. If i was hit like that id be sueing. im NOT walking away from $5K ....

sucks i know, but be glad your ok. It could be worse!


btw did you drive it home or what?

 

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.
