I've destroyed my baby...

Hey everyone, basically I made an account on here because I don't know what else to do. I was in an accident on this past Wednesday the 4th and totaled my Taco. She was the first truck I had ever bought off a lot and the first truck I payed for by myself with no assistance from an outside source. She means the world to me. I need to know whether shes worth saving or if i should just bite my lip, hold back the tears, and move on. The pictures I have I did not take since I was in the hospital for a couple days after the crash. I have no had a chance to see her since shes since been moved to LA and have no way of traveling out there.

 

first off glad your ok

second, holy shit dude!! probably would cost more to fix it than to buy new

 

^This..

Glad you are ok. That looks nasty.

 

Wow, glad you're okay! I'm sure your insurance will total it ... with that amount of damage there's no way they will pay to have it fixed. Good luck and hope you're recovery is going well.

 

I'm so sorry to hear my friend. I hope you are okay. There will be other tacomas. I just hope you are alright!

I sure hope it wasn't your fault at that you had insurance. I hate to say it, but it looks totaled to me.

There will be others man. Time to shop for a new baby!

 

Take the money, get a new one

 

i would say she is goner. Does the frame look bent?

 

Sorry for your loss! and glad you are okay!

That's pretty bad. Based on that side impact, you're likely looking at frame damage, engine damage, not to mention a ton of body work and new air bags. I'd move on.

 

1) Glad you are okay. 2)Definitely totaled 3) Welcome to the forum 4)She's in a better place now and would want you to move on.

 

looks line a goner to me.

you see the gap between the cab and bed?
i bet the frame is bent

 

You should go see her and get the shift knob or something to remember her!

 

this. i would get something that can be transfered to the new taco so you can have a reminder.

 

Good to hear you are ok.

A lot of people break their truck apart and sell stuff off of it, if its not in a junkyard already.

 

I hope you recover quickly, however from looking at the photos, the frame looks bent to me, judging by the bed being out of line and the total damage, I would say she is totaled

 

grab something memorable and scrap her dude. That's tough.

1. Do you have full coverage?

2. Who was found to be at fault in the accident? i assume not you given where the damage is.

 

Glad you are ok.

Time for a new baby.

4x4 this time!

 

Sorry to see that. Glad to see you made it out relatively safe - are you okay after getting out of the hospital? That's most important, but losing a tacoma is pretty high up there on the list too.
Hopefully you can get another one soon.
Welcome to the forum!

 

Well that sucks beyond words... as it goes, you are still givin er so count your blessings. The good news is that the world is full of Tacos that would reliably haul your ass around. Welcome to TW....

 

I was afraid of that answer, but I figured as much. I've been hearing the same thing from everyone else but was hoping to at least have one bastion of hope. I felt like it was the least I could do for her after having her for two years with no problems whatsoever ya know? Thank you all for the advice and yes, I'm ok. I only spent two days in the hospital for a minor concussion and no broken bones, just scratches and bruises. The doctors were amazed I wasn't hurt. Guess my baby protected me until the end...

OH and yeah the insurance did not place me at fault, they valued the truck at 15k when I bought it for 12k, I'm gonna be getting around 3.5k out of it, not enough for a new one free and clear but maybe a down payment.
