    Freezing rain and slick roads. Dodge Ram lost control and crossed over into my lane and hit me head on. Glad my son and I only have a couple of bruises and cuts. The other driver and her kids were ok too. Glad everyone was able to walk away unharmed.

    Now I have to wait to see if the insurance company will total out the truck or not. A little unsure if I would get another 3rd gen Tacoma.

    20170215_075618.jpg


    Update*** The insurance company valued my truck at $42k and would not total out the truck. I asked how it would be valued at more than what I payed much less being valued more than MSRP. Said that's what their computer shows blah blah blah. Estimated cost of repairs is $25k. I worry about things never being the same again. For those that have been through this, got any advice?
