    Glad you are okay. The rant page would lose 64% of the post.

    That is why I drive a full size truck, I wonder what it is going to cost to repair, both bumpers, grill, tailgate pretty much every panel of the body has damage but I still drove it home.

    Well my son rolled his Honda

    We had roof damage, 4 doors, grill and two air bags went off.

    17,000+ it was quoted, I drove it home after we flipped it back over.

    Those Honda's just run!!!

    It was the slowest rollover in history. He was working and detailing a car. When he left he missed the driveway by 3 ft pulling out. The ditch is not marked and front left tire slid in. His second big mistake was turning the wheel. Tire caught and rolled over.

    Pretty sure my insurance company went after the homeowner, when I looked around they were the only ones who did not have their driveway marked. When I pulled in I was about a foot from missing the driveway myself. It's a shame that was a great car, it was totaled.

    Wow I only have 75k on a 2017. I have been looking at prices of new or low miles new silverados. It’s unbelievable what people will pay for a truck. I paid 37,000 for a dealer demo. My uncle paid over 40 for a colorado. That is insane!

    Oldest Grandson made that mistake twice and not since. Once with me, talking to his mom. I verbally lit him up. Then once to his Grandfather at grampa. He left the house crying after that verbal blow back. Pretty sure memory checks him before leaving the car to see either of us.
    Not in my house EVER.

    Glad you are OK. A relative hit black ice on I-40, did a 360 and backed into the guard rail.
    Adding: camo75, I priced a Ford pickum up at $67K; $19K was options.

    My 2025 Silverado with more options was $3000 less than my 2021 Silverado. More lift bigger tires more chrome dual exhaust.

    How are they going to replace the two airbags? Surprised at the quote. I was in a minor accident and all the air bags deployed. My wife was getting ready to get our personal belongings out. She asked the tow truck driver about repairs which was only the left front. He stated if all airbags are deployed, it is a total. Cost to replace the airbags is outrageous plus getting qualified people to reinstall them. The airbags damage the dash, center of the steering wheel and other places, depending on the make of the vehicle.
