So as the heading reads, my truck is totaled. I dont know what i am going to do at this point, i would really like to get another one, but I need something asap for school and work. I was hit by a drunk driver on the driver side, I will post pics so you guys can see the damage when i get a chance. Depending on how much money I get, I may or may not get another. If I don't I will part it out. It is a 92 auto with the 2.4, 117k. It really breaks my heart to see it go because my dad bought it when I was 13 to give to me when I turned 16 and we have always taken good care of it, always used synthetic oil, the whole 9. So in short, my mightymax is no more

Wow. Hope the guy got some good insurance. I would buy another truck and salvage what reuseable. Depending on what is reusable, would depend on how complete a truck you would need. That's what I would do anyway. If I survived a pretty bad collision, I'd look for another of the same car because I would know how safe they are. Let us know what happens man.

All you need is some rubbing compound and a buffer to get the paintoff
Really glad you weren't hurt when he hit you. Definately try and find a similar truck to swap over as much as you can. The DUI driver should lose his license for 5 years; 1 year isn't good enough for boneheads like that.

I recommend Mother's rubbing compound.

Yeah hopefully i can find another 2.4l, but they are next to impossible to find around here, that way i could swap my bucket seats, my intake and all the other stuff i put into it. that way i could keep my motor for back up, maybe even do the head swap. I'm going to see a lawyer tomorrow and i have physical therapy starting this week too. For the moment I think I'm going to buy 91 eagle talon that this girl I worked with is selling, only has 100k and she takes super good care of it. Just to get my by for now so i can get to work and school. I'll keep you guys updated, thanks for your concern.
