My son's new truck

A couple months ago I bought my son a 2001 F-150. A guy ran a red light and hit us. Nobody seriously hurt. I got a really good deal on the truck. Luckily I had full coverage. Insurance gave me a little more than I paid for the truck . I searched hard to find him a new one. This GMC drives / runs like a dream. I need a favor from everyone. Bless this truck. I really hope this is the last wreck. He is not even 16 yet. Turns 16 in February.

The Ford looked salvagable, but I've never seen it in person, thats some insurance company though

Sucks big time.

Being 16 as well, I know its really not your own driving you have to worry about most of the time. It's other ******* people.

That guy did you a favor, hit the ford so you'd get a real truck

J/K, let's hope that's it on accidents. Sucks to be in one before you are even licensed yet!

I was in a minor accident when I still had my permit - stupid tour bus pulled out in front of me. Those things are HUGE when looking out a car window right at point blank

Worst part is he just kept going after I hit him, but their insurance contacted us later and got things worked out (though they were a royal pain to work with!)

At least in your case he couldn't really do a hit-n-run - after seeing that pic I doubt his car was in any shape to drive! Enjoy your GMC!
