We've all seen bad things happen to good vehicles. Let others see the pain you got. Here's mine. I had this truck for 2 hours before the battery died and someone rear ended me at 50+ mph.

And here's the after video.

I just wish I could have picked that Corvette motor out...

I hate when that happens to one of these old trucks. and right after you got it too. Makes you wish you go smash the favorite family heirloom of whomever hit you!

Oh good God, glad you're ok. That does not look like a fun time. How far did you move? I got rear ended by roughly an '00-'02 Ford Ranger Edge and was moved 117 feet from the point of impact while I was stopped and my foot on the brakes.

well this one was my fault but anyways i was turning left across 3 lanes onto an overpass the nose of my truck was right at the meridian when i got hit and spun my truck right around and put me right back at the stop line like i had never moved

it's black magic.

I had to limp my truck home not too long ago. The rocker arm nuts are not holding. They will need adjustments again soon. I plan to change them all next time around.

Best of luck that it's a quick easy fix. I'm not really a gearhead so I'm unsure if anythings an easy/cheap fix, ever. Haha.

i'd be glad you were not hurt very badly,but the belt alone musta hurt

*78 Chevyrado* · 05-10-2011, 05:25 PM

My last truck, my 87, Went from this..

To this..

My 78, went from totally rust and damage free survivor, like this...

To this..

At least the 78 was salvageable. I'da been very upset to lose that one.

HOW THE PISS ARE YOU NOT DEAD TRAINEE.

I want whatever bowl of Awesome-O's you had for breakfast that made you decide, "Eh, you know what? I'ma live. **** dying." lol Sorry about the loss of the car, isn't that the Impala? Or was it a Malibu?

WigglesTheHoly · 05-11-2011, 08:05 AM

I'm not dead because of some great engineering and a manual transmission. It was a 04 nissian sentra ser spec v Nismo edition. it was one sweet ride. i was going around 40-45 the other vehicle was going 70. Docs told me I might ot walk properly ever again if I do actually walk. I'm too stubborn to die and to not be able to walk.

*78 Chevyrado* · 05-11-2011, 07:42 PM

Wow!

So you can't walk right now?

WigglesTheHoly · 05-12-2011, 10:14 PM

Na I can walk run jump I'm about 95% to normal. I used to skate board back in the day I can do that again now too. Like I said I'm too stubborn tell me I can't do something I'm going to do it just to prove I can.

Best part for me is that I was wearing my seat belt or else I would have became a part of the other vehicles undercarriage.
