[semirant] Someone ran into my Suburban today. She's in the hospital, so I won't go off too much on her, but ... Grrrrr.... If I find out she was drunk as one witness maintained ... She supposedly had insurance, and the police came out. I couldn't get there until the responders were gone, though.
The Suburban was parked properly in front of a relative's house, having recently done its heavy hauler thing for them. The front end was knocked up the curb and halfway onto the grass. How much force does that take? LF to LF collision, so she was on the wrong side of the street.
It's an '86 GMC working truck, not a creampuff. They don't bring anything on the market, so I won't get much if they total it. But, damn, it has been a reliable son of a gun.
It looks to me like the steering linkage is now bent, and possibly the sway bar. I'm very suspicious of the rest of the steering parts, the control arms and the rims, too. Then there's the sheetmetal. I really don't want to work on sheetmetal any time soon. I really didn't need this hassle and aggravation right now. [/semirant]
