Well unfortunately i lost my truck last week. Was cut off and got caught in the snow which pulled me in and rolled it over. Was written off and gave me 15k over what I still owed. It's a mixed bag on how I feel because We just bought a house 3 days after the accident and are also getting married Aug so that money can go to the house and honeymoon. This page was great for me had me build my dream truck even if it was for only 2 years...lol. I had a Jetta before I bought the truck so went back into a Jetta. Had a 2023 Jetta Sport on the lot so picked that up. In a couple years when all the finances with the house are worked out I'll give the car to the wife and see what I can do with another truck. Thanks for all the help everyone...

Sorry for your troubles.

Good luck with the Jetta and the soon-to-be new wife!

It likely rolled due to the mods. Some mods look 'cool' but can put the driver and others at risk. Anyway, so glad you weren't hurt. That's the main thing.

I'm a Jetta fan too (still have a TDI) so I won't hold that against you. ...they're well-built cars, very efficient. It's probably for the better since you can save gas $$ and put that towards the house and new wife.

Best of luck with the new house/wife!

Sorry about the truck,as long as nobody was hurt,it can be replaced down the road.Onto the other thing getting married,as long as you learn she's always right and you're always wrong,you'll have a good marriage,lol. Also remember frying pans hurt when they hit you upside the head,so don't make her mad,lol. Just trying to lighten the mood a bit :Big Laugh: :cheers:

That looks like it might not just ‘buff out’

Good luck in the new chapter of life :waytogo:

Does it still run? Wheels still straight? Could you buy it back from the insurance Co. and do the minimal just to get it road worthy and pass inspection? Body damage rarely prevents passing an inspection.

Glad it worked out so well overall. Congratulations on your upcoming marriage, enjoy the new house. My hunting partner lives in Winnipeg, so I won't even give you a hard time about where you picked to live.:)

Someone might end up rebuilding that p-u. Not that badly damaged. I used to buy and re-do "rebuilders" in the old days. Lot worse damage than that truck had.

That or I guess it will live on as parts.
