    I was parked.

    Rear diff is really in the wrong place. You can see the snapped rear sway bar. I didn't go underneath to see what is going on otherwise. The rear door opens but isn't happy about it. The front door won't budge at all. The step is bent up into it. Fun times!

    I'm hoping it's totaled. I don't want to even think of what is going to have to happen if it isn't.

    Fantastic display of driving skills from the black car owner.... Did you get a chance to look at the frame?

    Glad you didn't get hurt, that's the most important thing.

    Sorry man. Echoing everyone else here. When I say I hope no one was hurt.

    I agree, hopefully they will total it. Nothing worse than paying for a damaged vehicle.

    I feel ya man, my wife got hit on the highway last October, SUV totaled. Today she was hit on a backroad, SUV looks totaled. Sometimes you just need to be glad you’re alive.

    There’s a bit too much of the black’n’blue theme there for this guy’s liking. :eek:

    That sucks. Sorry this happened to you. It begs the question, "How the hell does one run into a parked truck?" Glad you didn't get hurt.

    I feel your pain. My 20 Pro was totaled back in September and walked out without a scratch (and thank the LORD everyday even more now because I'm still here). I hope everyone was okay with no injuries. Did your airbags deploy? If so, then it may be totaled.

    Glad to hear all were OK. Hope they stroked the at fault driver with appropriate paperwork! And more importantly I hope that driver was legal and had insurance to make it easier on your end!

    Man, that's bittersweet. Glad you don't have to deal with the diminished value, or a truck that doesn't feel right after that kind of accident, but that loss hurts.

    I hope you can get a replacement that makes you happy. Do you plan to replace it immediately, or are you going to wait and see what the new design holds?

    Sorry dude. I feel your pain. Mine wasn't totalled, so I traded it in for my current one after it was fixed.

    That's a bummer. But at least you'll be able to replace it now.

    Dang man, I'm glad you're ok. And also that you can just wash your hands of it and move on to the next. Good luck finding something you like.

    Going to wait and see what the 2022 Unicorn actually turns out to be. I get to fix the 2WD mistake as well.

    I was, to say the least but I controlled myself. I don't generally blame the other person too much, crap happens, but the situation here, is murky to say the least.

    Insurance estimate was $25,000+ to repair, which included frame replacement.

    It looked like the frame was impacted from your pictures, I'm glad your getting made whole instead of having it repaired.
