She's gone

[TogaPC]

On my way to work this afternoon a car pulled out in front of me and I hit it. The old Hoe just wouldn't shut down in time. Thank God no one was hurt but it completely demolished the front passenger corner. I'm just sick. Thankfully they had insurance so I'm hoping I can get her repaired but with 200k miles and being 10 years old, I'm not sure what's going to happen. I'll post pics soon.

These were pics I took right before they hauled her off. Thought ya'll might like to see a badly bent frame.

Here they have all the damaged body panels and such removed.

At lease the throttle body was squeaky ckean.

Shot of the bent part of the frame. They said it was really hard to bend the frame in that location and almost impossible to repair.

This is what the frame should have looked like.

So sad to see her in this shape.

You can see really well the difference between the two sides here.

I guess when it's all said and done, I'm just really glad no body got hurt. I ended up with a new truck that is nicer and in much better shape. I have a car payment now but that won't last long. Still I miss the old girl. She was a damn good truck.

Sorry about that man!
I would say at that age/mileage, if the damage is bad enough, it will be declared total loss.

That's kinda my thoughts but It's paid for and it ran great before the wreck so if the damage is mostly cosmetic I may just repair her and keep on truckin. If anything structurally or the drive train is damaged I think it will be time to scrap it and get something else. I really love my hoe but it's only a truck.

FYI forum...

I may have some 2 month old performance parts to sell if anyone is interested.
Corsa Sport CBE
Spectre CAI
plus tons of stock parts...cheap!

As with old yeller...she's my truck...I'll put her down.

Dang TogaPC, that sucks! Glad to hear that no one was hurt. If the damage is only cosmetic and you decide to rebuild at least you can choose aftermarket parts like a cowl hood, etc.
