My new ride

[rocco79]

well??? Have you?

[Ponch]

Ha. No. I couldn't even move this morning when I went to get out of bed. That was weird.

But I did find out that I do have uninsured motorist coverage in my plan so i'm real happy about that. Gettin money either way.

Only a couple hundred bucks though, I had to have my truck appraised in order to get it insured for it's full value.

Man! All those perfectly good rear window stickers! Dammmmn...

Well, thankfully you were driving an older vehicle that was still made completely out of metal. Or else you might have gotten hurt. Glad you're okay though bud.

Pics!

Wow, the little Dak really held up well, how fast was she going?

Ouch, atleast the regular cabs hold up well, after seeing videos of the extended cab with minidoor and SuperCrew F150's folding up in wrecks, I was worried about Dad driving a F150 like your's for a work truck (doesn't own it, just drives it) until seeing that pic.

You're right on crashing being painful

[J-Dub]

Ponch got T-boned Bjoe.

I kinda figured that out between the carnage and reading the first post about this wreck, I was just wondering if he knew how fast the gal that hit him was going

[J-Dub]

Ohhh, I guess I misread and thought you asked him how fast he was going. Woops. ::poke:

Well speed limit was 40 and she sped up to make the light... So you do the math.


Turns out she is illegal, no license, no insurance. Great. No money for my losses.

[J-Dub]

i hate illegal immigrants.

Imagine that. Once again the honest citizen gets screwed. With all the money this country pisses away on stupid stuff we need to have Rifle armed guards every 1/2 mile sitting in life guard chairs all along the border. With looots of bullets. 1 step on american soil and pow. Pretty soon the illegals seeing the pile of dead buddys laying there might be detured.

Bad part is she won't even be deported. She'll be back next week driving in a new car. Living in a house that our great goverment is paying for lol

Hey Joe, What year is your dads work truck? They solved that problem with the 05 and ups. Mine is a 05 and I remember correctly it has 4 star crash test rating on all sides but 1 and thats rear and a 3

It's a '00 or '01, same bodystyle and cab as Racin' Ranger had, only an all white, V-6, near stripper truck. It did impress him that when he left the company for 6 month under protest (one thing he loves about being old and retired, being able to tell people to shove it whenever he damn well feels like it) the truck was driven 20k in the time he was gone and nobody ever bothered to change the oil in that time, and the damn thing still has the same motor:eek: When he'd get the oil changed he'd just take it to a quickchange place and have the cheap work done and it went that long on dino oil!

Then that little truck held up damn good for you guys in that situationalute:

Had two out of those three when I got hit by the dring driver 10 years ago, he is a legal citizen, but didn't have the latter two plus being drunk:mad:

Atleast he was the one that had to take an ambulance ride and not me:wavey:

Just fix the flat, tape up plastic over the windshield and drive the thing.

Great advice lol.

Yeah. I'm not too happy right now. My insurance claims that they should only have to cover medical costs with my current uninsured motorist coverage, but IL law says they have to cover what an actual insurance company would have, had she been insured.

[BJoe]

Gotta love insurance companies:mad:

[J-Dub]

Insurance companys are like any other business. theirs always some kind of bull-sh#$ clause that screws responsible people, that are screwed by irresponsible people.

Insurance copy " Did you have any mustard packets in your glove box" Ponch " Uh... No, i dont think so... why!???" I.C. " ohhhhhh, well as you can see in paragraph 3 line 18 adendum II states you need to have atleast 3 mustard packets in the vehicle at all times... Sorry but its in your contract."

Lawyer up. Find a local lawer and pay them 100 bucks to send a nice letter explaining the law to them.

The wife worked in the Insurance industry.

Standard claims procedure: Say no and hope they go away. If they fight it, actually open the file and review the claim.

Ponch, don't tell your agent/claim rep anything you don't the other party to find out. They share all info! Tell your story 100% in your favor and don't give the other party anything they can use against you.

The frame of that truck prolly saved your buddy. What was she driving?

And did the EMT say you were getting the action for the story, or HE WAS?

He was,

EMT - "I rescued some special olympics kid from this horrible wreck!"
Hottie - "Thats so sweet, F@CK ME!!!!"
