    Yes it is. Took me 2 or 3 years to get over my 99. It was in my family since 01 and I learned how to drive in it when I was 14 and I actually only owned it myself for a year before she was toast :(

    Know what you mean. I knew my '93 inside and out and still wonder if I should have sold it. Of course I let it go a month before the new truck was totaled. Smh

    The fact that the engine didn't end up in the cab with you was amazing to me. The side shot makes it look like there'd be no room for an engine its so pancaked.

    Here's a shot I took of the firewall area where it can be seen things were pushed back. It did what it was supposed to do.

    Covered in stickers and chrome stick-ons for extra horse torques and foot powers. Icon sticker gets me tons of travel, dozens of milimeters.
    Holy shit man. I've been too close to these kinds of accidents recently myself. Is that a tube bumper or does the damage just look like that?
