Nope, I'm fine. Just a little annoyed.Wow, good thing the police where right there when it happened. We’re you hurt?
I'm a bit stiff, but no pains or bruises. It was actually a pretty smooth ride. But I was convinced I was going to roll. Yeah, it's going to be scrapped. Only question is how much I'll get for it. Hoping it's at least enough to pay cash for something else.Damn that looked like a wild ride! Glad you kept it rubber side down.
And no way, that thing is 100% a write off. Good timing with the used market being so damn hot too LOL.
How are you feeling? Bit sore I would imagine. Airbags go off?
Crazy there was a police officer sitting there too.
It looks like dang near every panel is wrinkled or dented. So, paint and blend the whole dang thing, structural damage, suspension damage... Think you need to be prepared to say good bye my friend. Not sure I would want to have it fixed myself either.Hah! The adjuster who is going to look at the truck told me the system was VERY optimistic when it said the truck should be repairable. The thing only goes off mileage and whether the airbags deployed. She said when I tell her that part of a crossmember is now laying in the bed she doesn't really need to see the truck to know it's going to be totaled. The only reason to look at it will be to assess the overall condition to get a value so they can cut me a check.
I am shocked it didn't roll either man! I think you should make out okay on that. Honestly, with the way the used market is you might be getting a surprisingly large check for this one. The cost to replace the thing is so high right now.I'm a bit stiff, but no pains or bruises. It was actually a pretty smooth ride. But I was convinced I was going to roll.

Cop in the video didn't see the hit... said he was trying to figure out what I was doing. Hah!
