Sucks to see something like that, hope you get things straightened out. Hopefully quicker than it took me to get my situation fixed.

Pretty sure its tranny fluid and the radiator is shot. Probably too late now to look at putting on aftermarket parts. I am just going to do basic upgrades to my truck, like wheels, painted front bumper, roll pan, and new tires. Nothing too special or over the top.

They said it might be done by this upcoming friday so hopefully it is. I am going to take a look at it tomorrow. I'll see if I can get more pics.

Nah no blood in this accident. I just got the papers from the couple's insurance they want my info so they can bill my insurance or they will bill me. If I had the money I would just pay it to save money on the premium and to man up but I am broke as this happened as I have been playing catch up with my two credit cards, one of which I just paid off and cancelled.

****ty situation but the old guy I hit gave me some advice that I am taking to heart. He told me to make a positive out of a negative. I will be a better driver after this and I will be much more cautious. Kind of funny thing was that the old man told me he never used to wear a seat belt but he happened to be wearing his this time because his wife made him. Kind of funny, but at the same time I guess it really isn't. At least he learned the value of a safety belt, I never drive without mine on. We both learned from it and I just plan on learning from it and moving on.

Thanks LiL Blue

Just checked on the truck Thursday at the body shop. Everything is done they are just waiting on a new washer fluid container which will be in Friday and they said it will be done then. Looks really good. Funny thing is the hood had scratches on it and some small dents and the passenger side fender also had a dent before I wrecked it so now I have a dentless and scratchless hood and fender!
