I was just coming home from a friends house 45 minutes away. I intentionally didn't drink. I came around a corner less than a mile from my house and met a car head on. I tried to swerve, spun out in the rain, and put the truck 20 yards off the road into the ditch. I hit multiple trees on the way. I can honestly say this has been the worst month of my life. What is left of my SAR fund will pay off my 1000 deductible. The wrecker is picking it up right now.
Dang that sucks man
man that blows! hope you didnt get hurt?
The only injuries I sustained are airbag burns to the forearms and an airbag shot to the dick.Quote:

caddy clip?
glad to hear your okay.
Damn man that sucks. Let me know if I can help in any way. Sell off all your fun stuff and keep going.
Wow man sorry to hear that........your insurance gonna cover it at all?

wow that sucks, you need to post some pics of it so we can see the damage.
That sucks to hear Justin, especially around the holidays. I hope everything works out okay for you. When I wrecked my 97, I took advantage of it and got a cowl hood and a bunch of other stuff out of it since I knew the body guy well. Maybe you can get the color-matching you'd wanted to get done a bit early :thumb:
When it happened I was too sick to myself to even care about pictures. I'll probably see it in the next few days.Quote:

Looks like it's $280 on gmpartsdirect.com
:hshake:
Yes. That is correct. I'll be speaking with the body shop in a day or two I'm sure.Quote:

It's just a truck, no one got hurt that's the important part. Despite the massive FML factor. And as far as I know you got one more bad thing to go since it comes in 3's. Maybe just hide inside over the weekend?
Justin
im so sorry to hear about this. but at least you're not badly injured.
as my wise father used to say... vehicles can be repaired or replaced.. bodies cant.
Well, just found out my house keys are in the truck and I'll have to go get them tomorrow. I'll try to snap pictures.
Thata the absolute truth.Quote:

I wouldn't be suprised if they total it or get you a new frame. Doesn't take much to bend this chinsy frames. My 05 got a new after my last accident.
Hope it all works out.
Good thing you're ok. Now as for the truck getting smashed. I love when I crash my toys, then I buy way sweeter things to replace what's damaged.
I really almost hope they do. I have the nitrous kit and headers on it still, but that stuff would be easy enough to grab off of it.Quote:

Damn dude! Glad your alright. I know exactly where your at. I went through all that insurance bull stuff a few months back. My truck got totaled and paid off. I used what was left to pay the deductible. Good luck with it all!
Glad you were not injured seriously.
