Another Taco down with only 4,000 miles...

Man, that sucks. Glad you're okay. Sometimes it seems like folks really don't understand the damage they can cause if they don't taking driving seriously. Really no excuse at all for texting while driving.

 

As backwards as California is, I'm surprised they didn't cite OP for being in the way of the sleeping drivers path of travel.

 

Clazzios take forever for some reason. I waited about 3 months and then finally cancelled my order (they had promised like 4-8 weeks upon order). A month later I totaled my truck by hitting a cow on a farm to market road. That I cancelled my order was a blessing in disguise I guess.

Glad you're ok, OP!

 

$12,000 (his insurance) and a month and a half later I finally got the Taco back!

The best part is that I finally got rid of the obnoxious chrome bumper caps via the body shop!

 

Bonus necessary grille update pic. The SR5 grille is my favorite, even over the pro grille.

 

Cops did You a favor then.

 

They literally did, lol.

 

We’re twins! Hope everyone is ok.

 

I'd go after his insurance for the diminished value of your truck as well.

 

Glad to see you got your truck back.

 

Do you know how that would work? Didn’t know that was a thing.

 

I'm not sure how the process works everywhere, but in general you take the car to an expert who reviews the damage and repairs and gives you a letter stating what the diminished value of the vehicle is. Then you take that to the other guys insurance company and tell them to pay up. They will probably tell you to FO. Take them to small claims (up to $10k in Cali I believe). They will settle or you go to court and have an expert report as evidence.

Edit - If that accident is in Carfax (or will be), it's resale is going down thousands of dollars. You should be compensated since you were not at fault.

 

Better hide that license plate.. Someone going to track you down and take your taco..lol cracks me up when people do this..

 

I wouldn't be caught dead in that death trap... Ill stick to my c130s

 

I get it, but some aircrew have no choice. Had more of my friends killed in C-130 incidents than by any other method.

 

Yeah. Least in the Coast Guard, we can choose what air frame to be on, for the most part. Ive seen those Ospreys land at out airfield in Miami. Cool birds for sure. Its just that transition from forward flight to a hover.. Flew in 144s in Miami, no ancient c130s in Alaska. Damn things are 30+ Years old.

 

try flying Harriers....jet engines, not turbo prop

 

If your airbags deployed you might have a total insurance is going to try and fix that me thinks

 

Post #24 says he already got his truck back.

 

You are.
