New roll over member? (do front flips count?)

[Foo]

Well boys, she's done.

Was heading home on this little two lane country road going home.. it was pretty bad out and no salt had been run here yet (it's kentucky) so I was going well under the 35mph speedlimit. Went over a bridge and hit ice going into a turn. Yanked the wheel to the left and applied brake firmly but didn't slam. It kept pulling right so I basically held on for the ride.. went down a 10ft embankment, hit the front end, did a front flip and ended upside down stuck in my chair :thumbdwn: . had 3 other friends in the car.. all wearing our seatbelts (thank god). Everyone came out ok.. a little sore.

I shut it off as soon as I realized we were upside down.. mechanicaly it's fine but the body work does it in money wise. Insurance will cover it, I had full.

We were lucky.. if I had been going faster and slid 10 more feet we would of ended up in a creek.. and it was around 18*'s outside when it happened. I dunno if anyone woulda made it out... it took me what seemed like forever to get out. Eventually just pushed myself up with my left hand and beat the **** out of the seatbelt until it let me go.

WOW man thats deffinitly not cool. That was such a nice truck too! Got any daytime pics of the damage?

 

[IAmTodd]

Sorry to see that. Glad you guys made it out ok. It makes wearing your seat belt worth it.

 

[woodychitwn]

Glad everyone made it out alright, sounds like y'all were lucky. Are you sure it's totalled?

 

[j602]

[MONMIX]

let me assure some of you.
It is totaled.

 

[MONMIX]

Glad you and all your friends are okay Foo.
Seatbelts work, no question.

Take a note people. It is dangerous out there. You can do every thing right and still loose control.
BE CAREFUL !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Foo]

let me assure some of you.
It is totaled.

heh can you fill me on what happens next then?

I have full coverage and we still owe on it.. from what I hear it's that insurance is gonna pay out the value (blue book MSRP?).. we are gonna use that to pay off whats left.. and what ever is left after it's payed off I can prob. put towards whatever is next.

 

[jimbo74]

the doors probably still open and close ok.... i say time for an explroer convertable project

 

[MONMIX]

well pretty much what you said.
Insurance co cuts you a check and you give them the keys and say a teary eyed good bye.

One tip for ANY body who gets in an accident.
BEFORE the insurance adjuster looks at your vehicle, clean and wash your vehicle.
Make it look as well kept and cared for as possible.
That will usually cause the adjuster to put a bit higher " value " to the vehicle.
