Thread: Got in my first wreck today...

Yeah, was going to the Forum here in San Antonio, up at 35 and 1604 for those that know San Antonio. Was going in the second entrance on 35, the one with the rock in the front, and someone decided to come up in their bigger truck and cut just feet from my rear bumper when I was getting over, freaked me out and I lost my breaking motion and ended up not having enough room to break, couldn't turn with the speed I was going and the left front went right into the rock there.

Had my friend Haley I posted pictures of before and my little brother, good thing I am a stickler about seatbelts, or we would have been hurt when we hit the dash.

The truck only has cosmetic damage and a few steering alignment problems after hitting that rock amazingly, that rock is huge and I only moved it about 3 feet when hitting it at about 20 to 30 MPH. The steering is misaligned that the steering wheel is upside down now to go straight, and the gear indicator on the dash shows the wrong gear, have to put the thing farther than it shows to be in the right gear.

I could have driven it home if it weren't for the metal sticking just far back enough to scrape the tire when I turned right, and since it is an All American Steel truck, we couldn't move it back with a wrecking bar and hammer there in the parking lot.

I will take pics of the damage tomorrow and post them up.

What you guys think the cost to repair the damage will be? Only have to get the metal bent back into shape, maybe a new bumper, and the realignment, that is it. Whoever guesses the closest gets........a hug.......from Bust :P

sucks doesn't it?

The guy I hit was a real dick. No damage whatsoever but he still called the cops and like tried to file for "whiplash" or some shit.

Sorry to hear this news although it is fantastic to hear everyone is okay.

Damn sorry to hear that At least your alive and well :9

When I got in my wreck, I have to get a new bumper, get that painted, get a new grill and new grill trim. About 850$ for all of that, so I'm going go guess with your alignment, it will be around 1000-1500. Depending on how old your truck is.

I remember my last wreck. I had insurance so I was fine (it helped it wasn't my fault), but they guy behind me had insurance but not enough money for the medical stuff. He was injured but decided to walk it off since he couldn't afford his care being towed or anything else. Hopefully, he got plenty of money from the douche that hit him and, by proxy, me.

Here are the pics:







In the last photo, if it were not for that little piece jutting in like that I could drive it, but that piece hits the tire if I turn right, we are gonna take a wrecking bar and a hammer and knock it out of the way far enough to get it to the shop.

Thanks for the condolences guys, means a lot!
