So much for "if you can't Dodge it, Ram it." Just kidding.
Haven't commented, but nevertheless, really sorry to hear about what happened to your truck. It looked really sick before. I'd love to paint my truck matte black like your truck was painted. That looked so sweet. But hopefully you can find yourself something nice to replace it with if you do get it totaled out.

your damage price was so close to mine, i think mine was 7520.00 after it was all said and done. hey man, the truck will look fine after it's done, just don't look underneath it because it will be frankenstein! these dodges are tough, i'll post pics of what mine looked like in a minute and how it looks today.

Frankenstein but like half new! I ended up getting my truck because my car got totaled recently. It was a Cavalier though and I was rearended by an uninsured motorist driving a Chevy pickup. The back didn't look hit though, she shoved me under a Jeep and it tore my front and bent my subframe. Frankly a brick would have totaled my poor little pos.

Anyhow, hope they put your baby back like new again...maybe even better Lesson learned though, don't be nice. Darwinism man, stupid enough to drive on the wrong side of the road maybe you should get hit.

Ok, I have to defend something, I have your decentant of the Cavalier, I have a balt, I almost got a 2005 Cavalier but ended up in the 06 balt that I have - I got taken out by a semi - and the car wasnt totalled... shoulda been but it wasnt, it just depends on how you are hit.

Ok, Now back On topic, apologies to the OP, I have been reading the thread - great to hear that you are getting it all fixed and it aint totalled, just make sure its safe and inspected before you sign the dotted line when you get her back...
