That makes for a tough day, TNT. Thanks for playing the role you do, though, for the ones who do make it through these unfortunate events. Who knows... might just be me or one of mine some day, and I'll be grateful for all the help you and your kind can offer!!

Sorry to see your bumper get scratched by an import. I'm very happy to see the minimal damage on your truck and no one got hurt. Luv those SD's

A friend in the Portland OR. area was hit head on by a drunk a few years back. His rig was a 1999 F-250 SC with a PSD. He was westbound on HWY 26 heading to Hillsboro, the drunk got on the highway going the wrong way. The impact tore the engine out of the SD, it was found under the truck a little behind where the transmission should be. The drunk was driving a mid 80's GM midsize, totally destroys the car and killed the driver. My friend walked away from the wreck with minor scrapes and bruises.

Sorry about the damage, but that is nowheres near as bad as I thought it would be. Nothing like a lifted SD going up against a crappy car!

You'd probably get an F450

Well, just yesterday, a SD 250, 350 not that it really matters which, tangeled with a local commuter bus, The bus whole front was completely wiped out and the truck suffered alot of front end damage. It takes a Heck of alot to smash these vehicles. Glad I drive one and not the "pop" cans.

I've been hit three times in my daily driver over the past couple of years. Luckily, no one was hurt in any of the accidents. My wife is encouraging me to get an F-350.

Someone hit me at the gym last month and drove away. Someone else saw the hit and run, wrote down the plate brought it to the front desk. Long story short: There were pieces of their Chevy scattered in the parking lot beside me...but I am still trying to find out where my F350 was hit? Witness says somewhere in the DS rear...Luckily no damage.

Trust me your frame isnt hurt, maybe bent one of the bumper brackets on that side, but it doesnt even look like it did that, trust me, I pretty much fix wrecked superdutys for a living, lol, its all anyone drives in my town.

Here's my 2003 PSD after a guy in a VW Jetta lost control in the rain and went head on with me. We were both going around 40 MPH. My wife and I walked away from it without injury. It took the guy in the Jetta a week to walk on his own. He is still having issues 3 months later. Sorry, no pics of the the Jetta, but believe me, my truck faired much better.

The oil on the ground is NOT from my truck. Also, the frame was not bent!!
