    as far as getting the truck fixed it looks doable although pricey.

    i think its fixable for sure but there gonna look at year,mileage and such....if you have full coverage and they total it you should buy it back from the insurance company for pennies on the dollar...i think some will do that..

    and glad your ok!

    This is why you have insurance... Calm down and stop crying. There are much worse things in life than putting a dent in your truck. Be thankful you walked away and get on with life.

    Damn man, pull yourself together or turn in your man card. We all love our trucks but at the end of the day, it's an assembly of metal, plastic and fabric. It's replaceable, you are not. Be thankful you were able to walk away and no one got hurt. You have insurance for a reason. You're overreacting.

    no i know it just couldnt have come at a worse time. i really dont have the money for this. and i really feel i didnt deserve it

    yall sound like assholes but your right. everything will be ok i guess

    im just really nervous about the money and what the insurance guy will say

    and i really dont want to lose my truck. its literally my most prized possession

    Take the money from insurance and SAS it. Eventually after you wheel hard enough your truck will look worse anyway.
