my fun for the day

gothodgie · 04-30-2010, 06:00 PM

Was waiting to turn into my subdivision today and a guy in a honda decided he wanted to push me up the road. I was at a complete stop and the honda driver told the officer his thought he was going 35mph( more like 45).

I seem to be okay, but i think it is the end for the Dakota...

No pics of the Honda... But the back of my truck has coolant and oil on it.

awww, itl buff out....

man, that sure seemed like a straight, clean truck other than todays damage. a shame, really. im sure the frame is tweaked now?

Man that sure makes for a bad day. At least your ok. The truck on the other hand doesn't look like it had much fun.

If it was mine I would drive it as is

If the frame is not bent make is insurance fix it. They won't give you hardly anything if they total it. I have a '95 and those little trucks will run forever. Glad to hear you weren't hurt!

Do i (sniff sniff) smell a off road project?

1-get insurance money
2-back half it
3-get it up off the ground
4-add some one tons/ 40's.
5-enjoy cold beverage

I already have a trail rig i am working on. Guess it will become my daily driver for a little while.

I don't think there is any hope for the Dakota... The bed floor looks like a couple of woopty-do's now and the cab corners got tweaked too...

Price it! What's the gas mileage? gotta be better than a V8.

I have a neighbor in need of a 4x4 trans for a 94-95 if you are selling it or Jet has one...

Also, looks like that was no fun, how's your neck today? Usually doesn't hurt for a day.

It's a 90 and a 2wd truck and the trans was going out of it anyway.
Probably just gonna wait to see what the insurance company has to say and then take it to the scrap yard... If anybody is interested in anything feel free to ask...

Wreck happened on Friday... My neck and abbs hurt like **ll on Saturday... feeling okay today...

Thanks
Chris
