Default Bad news for my blazer..

Well, this afternoon I was coming back from the dump with my dad when some girl pulled out turning left and tboned me.. Well the weight of the trailer swung us around in 2 complete circles, with me stopping the truck before the merdian towards oncoming traffic. The first thing my dad says to me was how the hell did you keep such good control.. she hit us on my side, drivers side. The tires sheared off my trailer, and my driveshaft pulled right out of my transmission and landed in the bushes... and my leaf's seperated from my frame.. I am pretty sure its a right off. Trailer was wedged kinda under my back bumper... We were both fine, the lady was pretty shooken up.. I had to get out dukes of hazzard style through the window because I couldn't open my door. Sucks, my blazer was mint, no problems, not a scratch, no claims beside a theft.. totally sucks. Im sure I will get what I paid for it, probably more as I did a bunch of stuff to it. Ill find out this Wednesday if it's a write off or not, and ill go from there.

I included a few pics -

Wow, sorry to hear about that. Glad to hear you guys aren't injured.

And comments about "women drivers" are a matter of opinion BLK. I have never been in or caused an accident, and have had to avoid MANY men drivers that don't like to use their mirrors or signal lights (women drivers, too). I agree that it is unfair that men pay hight insurance right from the get go. We should all start off equally, but I would wager a guess that men cause just as many accidents as women.

Making blanket statements and derogatory comments like that really don't help the situation, nor do they make KLB feel any better about his ride getting smashed.

Every accident I have ever gotten into was due to a woman driver(except the one when I hit a mail box). Every accident all of my friends that have gotten into an accident was due to a women driver, same way with my parents. And in HS a good majority of the girls in my class were in accidents before we graduated.

I know not all woman drivers are bad drivers, my mom is very good all her accidents were due to a male(does that make you feel better?). Just from my experience it is the truth.

Sorry to offend you.

That really sucks,I can't imagine what id say if my blazer was totaled. Isaid words that would make afrenchman blush when I got a ding in my bumper. I really hate it for you.
If you really loved your old Blazer, get another Blazer. It's what I'd do.
