Aight. 108 MILES!!!!! How?! You probably ain’t even put gas in it yet! It’s already at 17k in damages and it’s not even apart yet. Man you thought it lost money rolling off the lot. It ain’t gonna be worth a politician’s word once this is on its record.

Dang! Talk about testing your limits.
It’s all a piece of cake now as any other scratch or dent won’t bother you at all from here on out. That’s a hard “What not to do” for sure.

I see a future "CPO" once repaired.
Oh for sure. You’d have to be an idiot to keep this thing imo. Immediately take it back and try to get every dollar back out

? The damage is done. Looks like they slid along a rock. As long as the underside didn’t get drug too…

No this was a side swipe on road. Not sure what they hit but was low and stationary. Rear axle is most likely bent

I had a tractor trailer back into mine while it was parked 4 months after I purchased it. He came in hot and It did 12 grand worth of damage. It took 4 months before I got it back and then I had to take it back 3 additional times to have things corrected. I still missed something behind the rear seat and just left it as is so I could drive it.

Roof damage? Shoved the left rear door clear up to the drip rail - can't tell if there's pressure on it or not

I thought the position of that rear wheel looked off somehow.
Doors, pillars, rockers, floor panels, more..........

My rockhard sliders would have possible prevented most of that damage. They've already saved my doors once from a woman that decided to get in my lane while I was beside her.

Rear door pushed up into hardtop, hardtop pushed into windshield, windshield tweaks cowl, cowl destroys the cam and rockers. Yeah, she is totaled.

You're hired! Think of the money we could make with your diagnosis.

Probably. There's a lot of mass there vs. the plastic running boards and the fact the lower body is just aluminum panels with no real structure down there.

I had that same thing happen while driving my F250 - a RED F250. Woman in a small white Kia decided to change lanes. I had a tiny ding on the fender behind the front tire, a scrape on the running boards but my bumper rippled the whole side of her car bumper to bumper.
Imagine your sliders - made of steel and tough for hanging on rocks, would have ripped panels off her car.

Back in the late 90's, my roommate had a lifted Tacoma with 35s (huge for the time), that had about 8" of poke. Young lady made a lane change into his driver's side at about 50 mph. Zero damage to his truck, but her car was probably a total. Fenders, doors, mirror, lights, and all trim just scrubbed with black swirls. I couldn't help but laugh, that was an expensive lesson for the young lady.
