Re: Scary event: Anyone know much about cars?
It's hard to see though, but it looks totaled. Lots of things gone wrong. Won't stay on because belt to alternator probably broke. Radiator might have some slight damage, along with piping and headers, the cause of the white smoke. Seems odd that you had no body damage, but might be internal frame damage due to the jerking of the engine and transmission along with it. Good thing though that you were able to get it down to the gas station. Getting out of the truck's way was a wise choice, guy may not have seen you, being most likeley a drunk driver. What time was this all? Man that's an intense story. Glad you're alright and hopefully insurance might be able to fix it, since you won't be able to find a car that gets that good of mileage for a good value nowadays. I'm still surprised from a 4ft drop it still runs lol even though rally cars do bigger jumps, but they're designed to handle that.
