Obviously my beta post about you left a mark. Of course because it's true.

Me, a gamma? Close but no cigar. I relish responsibility.

Rong as usual. I built my own house, my own classic cars, now building an addition, the permit under my name, and doing all the plumbing, heating, electrical and interior finish work...

Not exactly a guy who shuns responsibility.

Maybe you should try making physical threats again. It worked so well for you in the past...

[higgyburners]

physical threats? let's see the quote and context...If I made a threat to harm you I will apologize

[Yadkin]

I'm not the one that you need to apologize too. Now let's read your piss poor excuse for not doing so.

After a good wash and more thorough examination, it looks to me that the frame is bent.

[UniqueDoug]

Yikes, keep us updated. So what does this mean, can they straighten it out and make it "like new?"

[The_Dude]

Those gaps are a lot more than four pennies

It's only off by 1/8"..... no big deal.

After seeing the pics, yes, frame damage does seem possible, although it could still be a matter of the bed shifting on the frame from the impact. That definitely needs to go to a quality body shop.

pull bumper and trade/ sell before car fax hits.

Hope you were able to salvage the sheet carrier.

Modern in Boone, as recommended by my insurer (Nationwide). They figure a five day job, and I'll get a loaner truck during that time.

Travelers just sent me about $2100 for a preliminary settlement. I'm thinking the total bill will be two or three times that.

Agree that the frame now has some sway. Any competent body shop can hang some targets and run their laser and get you a printout. Body on Frame vehicles are pretty easy to return to pre-accident condition. Modern unibody cars, not so much, since the body is like a coke can that gets crumpled. You can un-crumple it, but it's never as strong. Body on frame? Piece of cake.

My theory on the accident? Old vet was blinded by the sun reflecting off of the back of Yadkin's bald pate as Yadkin was pulling the e-brake and drifting into the gravel lot at speed---- Fast and Furious style. Old vet was overwhelmed and so impressed he froze at the controls and whacked Yaddie.

That's homemade stuff.
They can't stand up to a 455. No way.

Wanna run for $50?

Make it three yards, mother****er, and we'll have an auto-mo-bile race!

You also claimed that I caused the accident, convincing your betas to join in the attempts at ridicule, so you may be averaging 50% here. Is that a passing grade in Floriduh schools?

And as others have pointed out, it may just be a shift in the bed mounts.

You may have caused the accident.
Was there a police report?

I’m not a graduate of any Florida schools. However I understand that the schools in my particular area of Florida are highly rated.

I’d still trade the truck for a new one. But I understand that you probably won’t. And that’s cool.

What does it matter if there was a police report? The gentleman admitted that he was wrong, to me and his insurer. He acted like a man should, accepted responsibility and took what came from it.

You're grabbing at straws, attempting to deflect from your failure. Why not take the Korean War veteran's example, man up and admit that you were wrong?
