As said you got out and walked away hence my insistance on owning a full size vehicle our trucks hold up well. Very sad as it almost made my wife cry just now when she saw it. Both are very sorry for you grrrr drunk drivers BIG GRRRRRR! a total loss for sure frame and such hope you've got gap if you still under payments. leaves you with **** though just payoff and no ram for now.

It is a terrible thing to happen. Im glad you are ok, could have been worse. I think your tow guy is right unfortunately. If the frame is bent and the passenger side is twisted too, you may have to get another truck. Angels were watching over you m8, glad your ok.

Everyone has already covered what I can say, I hope justice is served, good thing the officer witnessed what happend first hand. Please keep us updated on your situation, the main thing is that you are OK. The new rams look pretty nice man.

edit: what type of vehicle hit you?

Man, I hope she gets a judge who'll throw the book at her! And I hope to hell she's got REAL good insurance.
I'm thinking you might be feeling a bit more hurt today (hint, hint)...

If the frame is damaged, odds are they will total it out, some real good deals are out there on '09s with the '10s hitting the lots (although not the deals that were out last year when the "old" 3rd gen '08s were out on the lots with 4th gens coming in.

I hope all works out well for you...

Thanks for the replies guys. Yes I'm very happy to be able to sit here and type this out right now, I know the truck can be replaced, but any way you slice it, I'm still upset about it. But, I do hear a 4th Gen calling my name, if that time comes...

Hoss, they estimated she was going between 35-40...
