Ouch. Doesn't look like you'll be pounding that one out.

Were you hurt at all?

Did you get more or less than you were asking for the truck?

I suppose this could be a win if you got more out of it through insurance and as long as your sister isn't hurt (is she?).

this is kind of a wierd question... but what happend to the pole? and what kind of pole? A Big truck should demolish most poles... not the other way around..

Also... I hope your sisters ok.

Well, that's most important that she is okay. Trucks and poles are replacable, whereas sisters are not.

Sorry about your truck. If your insurance company didn't take the truck, or don't plan to, sell the rear window on ebay, and work your way to the tailgate, part by part.
