Guy driving wouldnt have a chance, he would mistake the bullets smacking the truck for the Hemi tick and begin debating oil choices.

I wonder how much it would cost to bail that Ram out of the impound yard.

id be curious enough if i lived there to try and figure out when the truck was getting auctioned thats for sure. going by the picture there is still LOTS of good stuff on it, or simply panels and paint with some interior stuff. or just rock it as is lol

I'd run it as-is. Imagine the conversations that would start when folks saw it up close and personal!

Odds are it was stolen in which case the insurance company will own it if they total it. And if the offender goes 10-7 (out of service) the truck will be ******* for awhile as evidence. Lawyers, lawsuits, family wants to get paid, etc, the usual stupid crap involved with police shootings.

(looking at the holes I don't think he was leading the truck enough tho)

oh well, sure beats throwing spike strips while diving outta the way trying not to get run over

I can look into it if you're serious. My buddy does the DWI vehicle seizure- auction program for county SO. Might know someone from SP. Odds are it was stolen though in which case the insurance company will own it if they total it. And if the offender goes 10-7 (out of service) the truck will be ******* for awhile as evidence. Lawyers, lawsuits, family wants to get paid, etc, the usual stupid crap involved with police shootings.

BTW - if anyone is planning a cross country trip on I-40 I would highly advise against stopping at any Albuquerque hotel overnite. You'll be shopping for a new car or truck the next day if you do. We're numero uno in auto thefts and the out of state vehicles at hotels get boosted the most. Travelers have a lotta cool stuff in their cars.

buying direct from insurance can be dirt cheap, my brother bought his friends lexus from the insurance company after his friend totaled it and he got it for super cheap. But i wouldnt want you to go out of your way to look into a vehicle that probably will be on hold for a long time. Even if he survives and decides to fight the case the truck is held as evidence as well and most likely a guy that does that isnt gunna lay down and accept a plea bargain lol
