i posted a link to picks of the damage to the 80 in the thread above. The 80 still drives fine and started right up after being on its side for the better part of an hour (this suprised the hell out of the state trooper). Im afraid the body on the 78 is a complete loss. Ill get pics of it when it gets home.

I can't believe you got a ticket! Not the first time I've heard of that, but I still think it's totally rediculous. Just seems like only purpose is to kick sand in your face after you've fallen.

Yeah that is just shitty. The police are doing their job, but if no one was hurt, and no other cars got damaged besides your own, then why kick you while you were down?

I guess we all feel a little pain just thinking about it. But hey! Nobody was sent to the hospital and it didn't involve any other drivers. Stupid cops. So shake it off and get busy with more work than you originaly planned. You'll get it fixed up alright. It's just gonna take longer.

Glad to hear you're ok, bro! It sucks, but from the pictures, it doesn't look too bad. You'll back up before you know it. Take care of yourself...

crashing one luv sucks crashing two in the same wreck that really sucks. trucks are easier to replace than your own body. i think tickets like that should be outlawed. that fine probably just bought the judge and the cop lunch. that`s about all those type of tickets are good for.
