We've all seen bad things happen to good vehicles. Let others see the pain you got. Here's mine. I had this truck for 2 hours before the battery died and someone rear ended me at 50+ mph.


And here's the after video.


I just wish I could have picked that Corvette motor out...

I hate when that happens to one of these old trucks. and right after you got it too. Makes you wish you go smash the favorite family heirloom of whomever hit you!

Oh good God, glad you're ok. That does not look like a fun time. How far did you move? I got rear ended by roughly an '00-'02 Ford Ranger Edge and was moved 117 feet from the point of impact while I was stopped and my foot on the brakes.

I had to limp my truck home not too long ago. The rocker arm nuts are not holding. They will need adjustments again soon. I plan to change them all next time around.

Best of luck that it's a quick easy fix. I'm not really a gearhead so I'm unsure if anythings an easy/cheap fix, ever. Haha.

I'm not dead because of some great engineering and a manual transmission. It was a 04 nissian sentra ser spec v Nismo edition. it was one sweet ride. i was going around 40-45 the other vehicle was going 70. Docs told me I might ot walk properly ever again if I do actually walk. I'm too stubborn to die and to not be able to walk.

Best part for me is that I was wearing my seat belt or else I would have became a part of the other vehicles undercarriage.
