!!!dead!!!

Well it looks like i may have totaled my 05 access cab tacoma. I was going about 10 to 15 mph and rear eneded someone. His truck has not a scratch. Mine ruined . To top it off i just bought a lift, new all terrains, new speakers, subs, tinted windows, blacked out tail lights and headlights, grill guard and tail light guards, and toolbox. Much more was to come but not anymore. Anbody that is parting out their truck or selling parts let me know so i can attempt to rebuild. Its to bad i didnt get any pics of it with all the new stuff i did to it. Luckily i hadnt put the lift on so i will save it for later.

 

What did you hit?

 

I think he rear-ended another truck.

 

coltons got it. I rear ended a 98 dodge ram

 

I gathered that when he mentioned the other truck was fine, I was wondering what kind of truck did he hit, since his was totaled and the other was fine.

 

sorry for your loss

 

ya my trucked made a sandwich with his rear end..half my front end went like 2 feet under the truck and the rest went above the bumper and got crushed in and cracked the windshield. Luckily i wasnt hurt but my gf was a little but nothing major. I would have rathered me get hurt then my truck though.

 

What's the word from your insurance?

 

I wasn't trying to be a smartass or anything, I just didn't know if you caught that.

To the OP; That sucks man, hopefully it won't be too long without your Taco.

 

sorry to hear but dont get bummed yet, these trucks crumble in an accident so it may look worse then it actually is. did the engine cut off?

 

ya it cut off

 

you also may be right insurance is goin to tell me more this week but they are not sure. They said its possible to be totalled but it may not be

 

hmmmmm ok... still........... be optimistic

 

Hoping for the best

 

Ouch, sounds like what happened to my Infiniti G35 coupe. I rear ended some guy who slammed on his brakes. It totaled my car but didn't leave a scratch on his. I can't complain too much cuz I replaced it with my Taco.

 

lol ya at least it turned out for the best.

 

Modern cars and trucks are designed to crumple in the front end to disperse the energy away from the occupents. The down side to this is the amount of damage the vehicle sustains. I would rather have a crumpled truck than a crumpled body. I am surprised, however, that you sustained enough damage to total the truck at 15 mph. That is cause for concern.

 

just heard from the insurance company and it is totalled. and it will cost $12,000 to fix...So its sad to say but i dont think i will be driving a tacoma anytime soon considering i have about $200 to my name and that is about to be gone.

 

isnt that ridicolous. I was going max 15 probably closer to 10. and it has completely totalled my truck.

 

post some pics if you can. I would like to see the damage
