He did walk away sorta but he had a couple of cuts on his head which turned into a concussion the next day. Turns out he's somebody I've seen at my gym occasionally. He's feels pretty crappy about it all, as he should, but I'm glad there were no serious injuries.

As for my truck, I declined their desire to tow it away to their (potentially totalled) lot. They're sending an adjuster here to look at it in the morning. Here's a link to the pics if you wanna check it out http://s1027.photobucket.com/albums/.../F100%20crash/
I'm on a couple of Ford truck forums too so sourcing parts & values shouldn't be too hard. But I'm going to leave the responsibility of fixing it up to them. I didn't crash it. I shouldn't have to fix it.

This morning I put the spare tire on so I could move it. When I got it on level ground it didn't look as bad. It would probably be cheaper to find a good used bed than to repair that quarter panel. It needs new bumpers for sure (I've been wanting a smaller chrome one on the back anyway even though that big honking bumper probably prevented more extensive damage. I think the left front axle is bent a little too since that tire is about an inch more forward in the wheel well than the other side. There are scrapes on the front fender & door. New/used fenders are pretty cheap too.

This is my only driver (the 37 isn't quite ready yet....duh! LOL!) so the repairs would need to happen fairly quickly. They've given me a rental car until things are resolved. It's a huge PITA any way you look at it though!!

Regarding the color change, I was just kidding around about some possible "white Ford karma" that's causing these little silver Jap cars to run into me. Interestingly enough, my rental car is a silver Korean suv! Look out!!
