It seems Vegas drivers don't care to look before changing lanes, and one of them tried to turn right into my driver's door. At first the damage seemed cosmetic, but on the trip back it developed an odd vibration and is pulling really bad to the left... It'll have to get fixed before I take it that far into the wilderness. :x

Chazz:

Very sorry to hear this. Will the Vegas driver's insurance cover the damage?

Or is it time for a Raptor?

They should, but even if they don't mine will. The damage isn't that bad from what I can tell, but I wouldn't want to put 500 miles on it like this. I just hope I can talk them into letting me pay the difference for upgrades instead of repairing whatever might be amiss at the axle/steering...

Raptor... well *I* have a V-8 in the Disco. It's Dani's truck that could really use some improvement. :mrgreen:

Sorry to hear about your truck Chazz. It's never fun when your rig gets smashed up (unless it's on the rocks ;) ). Good news is that no one was injured, and hopefully you can get some upgraded parts during the repair.
