    Whelp.... did all that work rebuilding this thing at got smoked at a blind intersection in winnemucca nevada on our way to visit family in idaho. Technically my fault but we literally couldn't see and I pulled out slow looking for traffic right in front of a ram 3500 dually. Basic physics says we lost.

    We are all okay but this project continues and since it was just liability it's really been a financial burden. Hope everyone else is having better luck.

    Glad you were cautious, a few more feet could have turned it into tragedy.

    You got it. I have a birthday coming up Friday. I am taking the day off and heading out to Hollister Hills for some R&R.

    Glad to hear it was a fun one. My objective Friday is to try not to break anything. :D

    Be on the lookout!
    This Tacoma just sideswiped me and took off.
    2018 Burnt orange & lifted w/ wide tires leaving San Francisco headed towards Emeryville/Oakland across the Bay Bridge.
    License plate: 42280L2
    Vin: 3TMAZ5CN7JM060614


    $500 reward with information. Tons of video evidence being handed over to law enforcement.
    PM me. You'll be anonymous.

    Many thanks, all.

    The cops will just go to his house and find him and go from there. Barring that, your insurance will pursue it.

    Just curious how much damage was done?

    BTW, good luck. Also, if the owner has warrants, it will happen faster.
