Well...I'm Baaaaack. And I've joined the "Wrecked" club...lol.
Hey all!! long time no chat. Must have been almost 6 months since I've been around actively. Sorry for the long absence, life has been very busy. I bought a new house in November/10 and moved at the beginning of December. I'm getting all settled and used to the life where I'm at now. I'm closer to work now though which is nice, but a little isolated from all my friends as I'm the only one currently thats living this side of town. My best friend and old roommate is also looking at a place down the street from me though, so hopefully we'll be neighbors.
Other then the big move, just keeping busy with work. The truck was good, I hadn't done anything to it but drive it (kind of let all plans with it slide and put most of my effort into the move). Yesterday however I was t-boned on the way to work, so the Blazer is gone. It's still driveable at this point (and I am driving it until I get another vehicle) but I won't be repairing it. The accident unfortunately was deemed my fault because I was turning left. A transport truck in the oncoming lane also turning left blocked my view of the other lane and I didnt see the other car coming.
My insurance was liability only, so it only covered the other vehicle (this was all I could afford). It's technically not written off, because there's no one to write it off. I'm pretty sure if I got an estimate done on it though it would be written off. Either way it's not worth it for me to fix it. I was thinking about getting rid of it this year anyway, so this works out ok. I'm hoping to go full size, but it depends on what I find.
This is how messed up my door is, will never seal properly again
Overall it`s hard to capture the extent of the damage through pictures. If I could open the passenger door and show you the floor I would, but we`re supposed to get a large amount of snow today so I want to keep it sealed with the tape I have on it. The entire passenger side floor is crushed in and the passenger seat sits cockeyed.
