Default bad news.....turned good


got some bad news today when we got back from vacation. My son pulled right out in front of someone going 60 mph and took the hit right on the passenger side.good news is neither jordan or the guy he pulled out in front of were injured.he was driving a kia sorento and needless to say my son said there was not much left of it. i was so pissed when i found out but hey accidents happen i suppose. i actually teared up looking at my baby sitting there all broken((i really cared about my jeep and the work we had put into it),pretty sure it's totalled,adjustor coming tomorrow. Not sure whats going to happen now , i have dana 44 ordered for it on it's way to ORE right now and a rockhard bumper and rack ordered from david,oh yeah and a solid d44 cover. hopefully i can get a replacement jeep,really not thinking all that clear at the moment. sorry to bug you all ,hopefully things work out.

I'm sorry to hear about your loss but I;m happy to hear that your son is OK. Don't worry about the Jeep. Just get another one.

yeah problem is my insurance says i can't touch it,only personal belongings.

I am glad to hear things (DID WORK OUT) your son is ok. Your Jeep can always be replaced. I look at it like you are a very lucky man. I do understand that after you give Em a hug you might feel like giving Em a swift kick in the posterior though. Hopefully it scared him enough it will be a learning expeience that the kick won't be needed.
