Well it would figure that after spending about 8 hours doing ball joints that I would be in the middle of a traffic accident today.

Some jackass in a Silverado failed to yield while making a left turn across traffic and the F150 (who had green light) couldn't stop in time and hit the Silverado sending it into me, who was stopped at the left turn lane.

Then either out of sheer panic or just foot slippage we accelerated at the ford but didn't hit it.

I was looking down and all of a sudden I heard tires squealin, it was the anitlock on the F150, then we got hit.














Tire rubes on bumper a lot when turning to the right, other then that it still rides fine.

 

That is effed up bro. Any confidence with the insurance of those guys? Hope it works out.

 

Well the dude in the Silverado has AllState, so I'm hoping for the best.

 

After an eccident, always, always, ALWAYS exit the vehicle with one hand on your neck and loudly exclaim, "OHHHHH, my neck! Ohhhhh, my back! Ohhhhh....MY LAWYER!!"

 

Damn that's rough, glad to hear your safe though man!
Good luck getting her back together.

 

And I think the lateral impact probably damaged the ball joints on the passenger side! And your neck should be hurting by tomorrow.....sometimes the pain does not begin until after adrenaline has ceased.....

 

I was thinking "Aww, damn, and you just did the ball joints too!" Then I saw you had read my mind before I even saw the thread.

That is gonna be expensive. Fixable, but not cheap.

 

dang man that sucks, hopefully the insurance will pay to have it fixed

 

Knowing how insurance companies are they will likely want to total it

 

that would be my guess as well. In that event though, I would let them, then buy it back, and fix it myself. Use the left over money to do some more improvements.
