Damn, even with the for sale sign hanging in the small window
 












My buddy punched the windshield of his dads truck and was "borrowing" it at my house while safelite came and fixed it. He needed a car for the day so I let him take mine. He failed to keep right while impressing his girlfriend and wrecked my truck. He broke it, he will buy it. Now it has to go through my insurance, second one totaled this year... At least no one got hurt.
 






I hate to say this but this is gonna be an issue with your insurance. If your friend wasn't on the insurance to drive the truck they may refuse the claim stating the driver was not insured under your policy. I've seen it happen before.. I had a friend who let a coworker borrow his car and needless to say he wrecked it and the owner was stuck at the cost of the repairs since the driver wasn't on the policy.
 






This is why no one drives my truck but me, and in rare cases, my father. Ever.
 






Another reason why I love that my expo is a stick shift. None of my friends know how drive one... Sucks about your expo... :(
 






ouch...another nice X wasted....

Depending on the policy, it might not be covered.....Good luck!...

I don't let anyone drive my X, except my father. If they really wanna drive a car, they can drive my old beater (91 toyota pup)
 






that sux major major ass man. U had a nice explorer sport too and now its totalled. I bet ur hella pissed at ur friend.
 






Only other person I allow to drive my rig is my father.
 






Is your friend okay?

Is that the friend in the picture?
 






This might sound like a dumb question, but why should this go through YOUR insurance? He bombs your truck, you get a second hit on your policy in a year- assuming they approve it- and your rates skyrocket becasue he's a clown? I'd ask his dad for a check...
 






If thats his gf in the pictures I'd borrow her for payment
 






didn't see this, sorry...

Anyway, sorry about the ex :(

But thanks for posting the girl :thumbsup:
 






That sucks guy, I don't know about everyone but my insurance will go with me to whatever car I drive. They will insure me for anything I drive, granted my rates will go up from it but I'm covered under any car I drive weather its mine or not. I thought this was normal for most insurances. I would make your buddy file an insurance claim, he wrecked it, his insurance should pay for it.
 






For what ever reason my insurance took the hit $7,200 to me, not sure how much the other car was. I'm a little pissed but hey, its only money. My friend is ok, and gf is ok too. Considering I bought the X for 3,800 I'm not that mad. I had figured that everything I put into it I would not get back the whole time I worked on it. Hopefully some day I can look at it as chump change and laugh....
