Ill get some in the morning I guess. The interiors f*cked too. the seal is all messed up and water has beeen getting in when it rains. Im 90% sure its going to be totaled. Ill know forsure by friday and keep you all posted. I have an estimate from a small shop and they said $3,393.47. My insurance wants me to go to an actual chevy dealer so i gaurantee theyll charge way more. I dont see why they wouldnt total it? Its honestly pretty bad and drives way different. and tonight my door popped open and almost got ripped off, now its bungie corded.

it really does not look that bad, does not look like it even bent the floor, a door, rocker and weather stripping and its done, rockers on lmc truck are cheap, same with door shells, you could do the rocker, and door for under 300 even with weather stripping. and get the door and rocker matched at maaco, prolly all for under 1000 (if you can put the rocker and door on yourself (3m panel bond adhesive)

I have AAA insurance and they told us to go to a chevy dealer so I would imagine thats gonna be even more expensive, so im pretty sure shes getting totaled. If it does get totaled I might buy it back and just keep it for the winter. The guy at the shop really liked my truck and said if I bought it off the insurance company he would pay me $300 more than I bought it back for. So im weighing out all the options at this point
Yes, I understand that a school parking lot could be private property. What I am trying to understand is how someone TBone'd your truck in a parking lot...

I see what you mean by its worse than it looks, the rear axle probably took some damage from sliding sideways when you got hit. same with the front end parts.

But isnt your neck and back starting to hurt really bad? if i were you that would probably be my story lol never feel bad for insurance companies.

Sorry to hear your bad fortune. Don't send her here we have enough from Michigan that drive like that already here.
So in Michigan you can hit & leave the scene & that is OK? No wonder every time I see a Michigan vehicle here in Arizona they drive like dumb asses. Now I know why & to take a wide berth away from them. Would you guys lock them in Michigan so we don't have them here?
