I gotta start looking for a replacement X. My wife got hit by a semi that ran a red light. She didnt get hurt except for the air bag bruising. Damn lucky...

Here is the other side. They will look closer tomorrow but it seems the engine is pushed to the side so its probably a gonner.

man, that is pretty crappy... mine wasnt that bad... but pretty close, they threw it on a frame machine and put on used parts i supplied... the engine wasnt touched though, just radiator and the front clip... but i rearended someone, not got nailed by a semi from the side......

glad to hear your wife is ok...... tell her we all wish her to feel better soon..... it may not be physical injuries, but i am sure that she is still hurting...... that stuff is scary! trust me, i know

I dont know at this point what I'm gonna do. No hurry.
Will see tomorrow what the cost of repair is and then what the value of the truck is and decide if its worth repairing. I would rather repair as buying a veh. is a PIA.

Yep, I agree. A very good opportunity to get the V-8. Kinda like getting a second chance to get it right. ;)
