sad day

my new 2014 f350 just got tee-boned in the passenger side by a BMW suv.
i have 35" nitto trails on her and a 2" front lift.
i ended up with the rear end 4 feet in the air and about 8 feet sideways before a very hard landing and ramming into a mini van in the lane next to me.
it was quite the wild ride!
both passenger doors bent
front bumper bent
body damage
bed damage
and the rear end is 2" out of line.

this sucks, its in the body shop today but i doubt she will ever be the same.

sad day

Wow, that sucks! Was everyone okay afterward?

I wouldn't worry about the repair though. If the body shop does a good job it'll be like it never happened. Most collision damage is repairable, and as long as they know what they're doing you'll never be able to tell the difference.

Glad to hear that you are ok! I know it has to suck having your new ride in an accident. Bodyshops are amazing nowadays but I hope to never find out.

sorry no picks. just tears...
im sure it will get fixed just fine.
in the mean time, i got a 2013 gmc 2500. wow, what a difference!
this gmc is much faster, but handles like a cheap mini dodge van (i know because i had one)
im interested to see if it gets better MPGs.
