Feel lucky...

Wow... Looks like the only part of the cab not completely crushed was the driver's side. You're lucky to have made it out okay.

You're super lucky, wow! Glad you're alright!

My car got totaled a couple weeks ago (rear ended and then pushed into a vehicle in front of me) and I just recently found a new car. Insurance was really slow with us due to the complexity of the accident. :/

Anyway, what I recommend is buying a 1 month subscription to autocheck.com so you can run every VIN number of vehicles you are interested in, especially when you're buying from private parties. It'll show you if it's been in accidents, if it's been to auction, rebuilt title, recalls, etc. Just good stuff to know.

I watched Craigslist, Autotrader.com, and Cars.com with a price range up to about 500-800 dollars over what cash I had on hand. I ended up buying a little 2005 Ford Focus SE ZX5 / 5-speed manual off of a dealership. It was everything I wanted, low mileage, one owner, and I got a big discount. You just have to be able to jump on cars that look good right away, because good cars usually don't hang around long. If you're worried about safety, find a few cars you're interested in inside of your budget and start researching the safety ratings for that model.

Just make sure to do your homework and check every VIN you come across. Be picky!

Daaaaayum! God was looking out for you bro. Must be something important you got to do. :)

Holy shiza! Definitely count your blessings.
Are you wanting to stick with a truck? I've got a 2010 Charger and love it.

I'm glad you walked away from that!

I totaled my 98 Cobra doing the same thing. Note to self, no animal is worth losing your life over.

I ended up getting a '99 Escort. So far I love it but it's a money pit... Had to replace a tire and a tire rod and next is sway bar linkage.
