My heart just dropped when I read this. I saw the title and though whose the author and then I just died inside. Such a beatiful truck with new cut-outs and some bitch has to drive drunk and risk people's lives. I hope insurance don't decide to total it, I wanna see how effed up that car is though. Glad to hear you were able to walk away without any broken bones or anything just a few bruises. If insurance does total it I'm sorry to say they won't give ya what it's worth but you can always get another one. Who knows you might be able to get an 09?

this truck is dunzo. No way its not totalled.
Now, treat the insurance co as if theyre trying to buy the truck from you. IE- dont settle for the first offer. get what you can out of em, get as much stuff off it as theyll let you, then wave as its put on the roll back and go buy something else. the end.
as long as your ok, and youre getting a check, its not that bad a deal imo

Ok, quick update.
The repairs took until last Friday to be finished, everything was put on hold for a while as the insurance company wanted to replace with reconditioned parts, and I wanted new, I won that battle, but come to find out, new parts are harder to get in than used ones. Anyway, when I went to pick the truck up, I looked it over real good, then pulled it out of the garage they had it kept in, and under the Sun, you could tell a very slight difference in the color from where they repainted the driver's side. The manager at the shop actually pointed it out to me, I really couldn't tell, but he wasn't happy with it and told me they were just going to repaint the entire truck. Ok then, sounds good to me as the passenger side has a few scratches down the side of the bed. 2 more weeks in a rental though. I'm so ready to get the truck back, just to have my own vehicle.
Pics to come as soon as I get her back...
