    Feel lucky...

    So long story short I rolled my truck last night (5 times) and am
    in need of a new vehicle. Any suggestions? I need something cheap and SAFE. I completely crushed the cab and am glad no one was with me because they wouldn't have made it. I'm surprised I even did...

    I've only had an Isuzu Axiom and my Ford Ranger that I rolled. The air bags never deployed so Idk if that's a good thing or not. I'll post pics when I go get my stuff out of it. What's left in it anyway.

    Cheap and safe? Find an older but good running car/truck that has front and side airbags and is new enough to have crumple zones engineered into the car. Despite what people say, the big "tanks" built back in the day are not safer than modern cars...

    Other than that....invest in driving lessons? Not a slam, just a suggestion...

    Glad you made it out okay.

    I swerved into a ditch to miss a deer. Should've just hit it...

    You rolled your truck, the air bags didn't go off, and you walked away. That's how it's designed. If you ran head first into a tree and the airbags didn't go off, then you'd have a problem...

    The airbags are controlled by sensors that measure g-forces and determine if the impact is severe enough that the airbags should be deployed or not.

    Hard to say man...what if you did just plow into the deer? What's to say it doesn't come through the windshield and kill you?

    You walked away...I wouldn't dwell on the would have's, could have's, should have's...way too many variables...just count your blessings.

    Glad your alive, best thing I can tell you as far as a vehicle is to try craigslist. List about 700 over your top price so you can talk them down.

    I promised I'd put up pictures. Now that the insurance has paid it off here they are.
