Ouch! What happened to the truck?

C.

 

Thats totally still drivable.... In a field.... With a helmet on.... Really Fast....

 

Damn that sucks about the truck

 

+1 on the truck, how can that be written off, amazing to see how even little damaged vehicles can be written off in Canada.

love the G picture, what's your camera?

 

From the picture it doesn't even look like the air bags went off. But it depends on the value of the truck and if there was any serious structual damage to the frame of the truck.

 

This thread made my day ... I love the whole "bad news/good news" delivery.

Hope nobody was hurt re: the truck.

 

Sean, how many times did you have to drive your truck into that telephone pole just so you could get the G out early?!?

 

I thought all you hosers rode moose back?

 

Good to see by the picture your ok Sean i also see you already had your G out for a decent photoshoot



I doubt a truck of that vintage has air bags


I looks like it would need a complete front clip, fenders, hood, grill, bumper lights, rad support, rad.

They usually write them off if the damage is more to fix it than to replace the truck.

 

From that picture the truck doesn't look bad. However, from the side everything is pushed at least a foot back from where it should be. The truck was also a junker, so its not a big loss. The vehicle I hit, you wouldn't even know I ran into the back of it unless I told you.

As for the G35 picture. That was with a 50D and a tokina 11-16 2.8

SLCG35, I ride a moose when it snows, obviously.
