a mitsuibshi totalled an old iron horse?!
Oh my. Some guy re-ended me and had over a thousand dollars damage, and i drove away without a scratch.
I cant believe a mitsubishi did that to your truck https://www.dieselbombers.com/images/smilies/stars.gif

the truck stills run but i think the insurance will total it the other car they had to use the jaws of life to get the side of the vehicle off there isn't enough left of it to maybe be a paper weight but i will say it lefts its mark on the ol dodge my radiator, front fender. hood, door, and bed are banged up i just hope the engine is good
i will say that the four passengers went off in a ambulance(they are ok for the most part) i have a bump on the side of my head from hitting something the old dodge protected 100% and i couldnt ask for anything else
