No way that truck would be written off here. We all subject ourselves to some degree of liability by just walking out of our house each day. Shit happens. This truck isn't damaged much at all. Fix it and move on.

I deal with this sort of stuff every day. It's unfortunate, but so are kittens with cancer.

Hundreds of thousands of vehicles are fixed every year here and people are not losing their asses on them. Most of the time nobody ever knows it was ever damaged unless some fly by night POS shop fixes it.

Grow a pair people. Life isn't furnished with a safety net.

I think we should design personal safety nets. Modified electric golf caddies that follow you around and then react at just the right moment deploying your own personal safety net. We could be rich.

That sucks. I would be getting a new truck. That thing will never be the same.

Looks like not much but body work to me. :dunno:

the panels will never be straight and the paint is never matched perfectly. Not to mention the truck is still stuck on the lift. I know a guy that drives a wrecker and has had to recover cars from falling off the lift before. They get more damage being removed than for the intial fall. I would not want that truck back after paying 50K+ for it then having it go through this. It's not like it was lightly set there it was dropped. Dropping bends stuff, important stuff.
TOTAL BULLSHIT.

Panels are never straight when new. Look down the side of ANY domestic truck and you'll see wavy metal. Most repairs are actually straighter than the original sheetmetal. Matching paint is a no brainer with modern paint systems.

You guys need to quit buying into all of those old wives tales about this shit.

Really.


OH, and 1000 times yes on deleting those ridiculous JC Whitney decals. WF?


I dont do body work. I'm just sayin that the value of the truck already went down after drivin off the lot a week before this. How much more did the value go down after this? The truck has been wrecked is gona be on Carfax and shit. I'd want a new one or somethin.

I'd be gettin me a lawyer


I understand you would be upset but that attitude is why insurance is so high. Shit happens it was an accident not malice. How is this any different than sitting at a stop light and someone rearending you or a T-bone? Insurance is not going to buy you a new truck, they are going to fix it.

I think the government should just mandate we drive smart cars. Then this wouldnt be a problem. Our air would be clean and we could fit 3 of them on a lift with out overloading it.

The first thing we should do is banish all of the lawyers to a deserted island somewhere.

That would be a good start.
