Wrecked my truck tonight
#41
Yeah, I am thankful I am ok first off. But I'm also kind of glad I didn't start to do more to the truck..I put in a radio, brushguard and my toolbox, but I didn't start to try fixing the few leaks there were, or my numerous other ideas for the future for it..
It was a nice truck, and it was very reliable, but I can find another one if I need to. Just waiting on the insurance adjuster now..Seems like an eternity lol

Well. My dad wants to try to keep it like I said. I am sorta aiming toward trying to have it totaled (Which will prob happen anyway at a Dodge dealership), buying it back, and buying a new one.

glad your okay..that really sucks that it happened but you know what i could have been worse..from the looks of it..if you would hit that pole any harder it would have fell on your head man
ouch..had my buddy take his van to a pole at 50 mph..landed on top of the astro..ever since his spine hasnt been the same and hes about 4 inches shorter
it always can be worse..on a side note if you do buy it back (which i would if i were you.) and you have the possibitly of doing it..id recommend parting it out piece by piece..you can not only make some good money doing that you can also save it from the crusher and help some members out with the parts that they may not be able to find locally..
just saying.
then when your done..have the shell hauled off to the junk yard
my buddy in MN makes a living out of doing this

And I have thought about doing this/fixing up vehicles on the side when I have a little more experience and money to throw around - I think you could make quite a lot doing that.
And yes, like you said, it could've been much worse.. Especially if it was harder, or if it were closer towards my door. I'm not so sure it would've fell on the truck though. I always thought they would sort of hang there - but I could certainly be wrong.
Edit: Thanks wayne. I agree with you. I think it will be totaled as well, especially using Dodge's parts! ..But that isn't all bad.

I will definitely consider this an option. Not sure if I would rather part it out, or just keep it. Will have to play it by ear.
Oh, and I don't think you want my horn haha. It sounds fine 30% of the time, and 70% of the time its like way off key or something lol
