Got into an accident in the Isuzu Rodeo today. Luckily no one was hurt.

I was heading home, going down Highway 105, in the middle lane. The other driver was leaving a bank pulling out onto 105 heading towards the turn lane. She didn't see me; I saw her and tried to swerve out of her way, but it wasn't worth going into on coming traffic. The other driver T-boned me squarely on the passenger rear door and the rear wheel. Door won't open and it has a gap at the top of the door. The rear wheel has been bent and may have damaged the brakes, axle, and/or the rear end.

Looks like the Rodeo may be close to be considered totaled, we will see...

Yeah I remember. I would have taken it to Eric if I lived / had the wreck closer to his shop.

I'm glad you're OK. It doesn't look too bad. They total at 70% of retail value figuring in for milage and condition.

Thanks guys!

Its a 2001 with close to 130k miles and a Blue Book value of around 4k. So hopefully it won't be totaled. I really don't want another car/truck payment right now.

Glad you all are OK and hopefully the Rodeo will survive to see another day on the highway.
