Yeah the floor pan is toast Chris. Royally f'd in on the passenger side lol. The frame is still solid though, which is good. It is fixable if someone had the time and $ for it, it's still a pretty solid truck.
And thanks jTalley. The Tercel rocked us hard. I found out today my passenger has a concussion. She'll be off work for the rest of the week. I feel really bad, she bared the brunt of the impact being on that side.
The other car was probably going 60-70km/h, and she made no attempt to brake before hitting us (it all happened too fast) so she hit us at full speed. She should have been ticketed for speeding (it was a 5-km/h zone), but they didn't do it at the time of the accident. I'm hoping it may come after the fact, but that is for my insurance company to sort out. You can see just how hard she hit us by how far she pushed us. I was turning into the parking lot on the other side of that yellow line, and I was pushed into the other lane and pretty much into the ditch.
EDIT: here's the truck I may be looking at. Looks solid except the minor rust on the rear wheel well, but it doesnt look major.

Well i'm not worried about my ticket. I was ticketed for failing to yield when turning left. Pretty sure there's no way to get out of it, but it's only a 167$ fine, so I'll probably just say screw it and pay it.

That's all I did with my Careless driving. Paid the ticket, and took a class to take the points off. Funny thing is, I got my insurance bill today and my rates STILL went down lol.
I feel like I beat the system.

Alex,
It's nice to have you back, even if it's your Swan Song. As for the ride: I'm sorry she had to go out like that. As long as everyone got out with recoverable injuries, I'd say she served her purpose well.
If you own her and are not in a huge rush to have her off your property, you might consider parting her out. I'm taking straight PILLAGING your ride for all of the useful parts before Dodge-hauling her to the JY to be made into scrap. Could make back a little cash for up-keep on the new ride, and maybe toss a mod or two it's way to help ease the loss.
I hate to see you so burned out on the Blazers, but you had a good run with her. You learned a lot, contributed a lot, and participated a TON in this forum for the time you were active. It's too bad you had to go.
Best of luck to you with what ever you step into next. Don't be afraid to drop by and show off the mods to the new ride.
Be Safe Man,
Curtis
