Dumb. That was a stupid stunt to pull in the first place. It sucks that your truck is wrecked, but you deserve it in all honesty. It was your truck and you are responsible for EVERYTHING that happens in it. The beer and the lack of seatbelts are legally YOUR fault. And, if you had ANY alchohol in your system it is illegal until you are 21 and is charged as a DUI, at least here in AZ. It is not about whether you know how to drive or not. It is about whether you were legally allowed to drive which you weren't (lack of a license AND alchohol in your system). I don't care whether it was a private road or not personally. And please understand, this isn't a personal attack on you, just letting you know that responsibilty is a big part of earning your driver's license and in my mind at least, you aren't showing any responsibilty with actions like these. Sorry about the truck bud.

No we are not happy. We are glad you and everyone is ok, but hopefull you won't let something like this happen again. By the way you can argue them down since insurance isn't paying and pay very small monthly amounts....

i know i wasnt legal to drive, but on the road i do the speed limit as if i were to have a licence, the reason i didnt get a dui was because the cop knew i wasnt drinking and driving, and towards the end of the day after the mudding we all got excited, i guess i got a little to excited, which wasnt responsible but yea i learned my lesson, but if u had a truck u just put together, and u didnt have a licence, live in a small town with about 90 ppl who dont give a crap what u do, wouldnt u take it for a drive? just to see what it could do, i put 100 miles on it the day i rolled it the rest was 300 for a camping trip and 100 back and forth to the market... atleast i was responsible enough to not crack one open when i drove

Well I did some similar things when I was just getting my d/l.... just please learn from it. Also Remember YOU ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR EVERYTHING THAT GOES ON IN YOUR VEHICLE! So if someone has stashed a bag of pot under the seat and you don't know about it guess who gets in trouble.....you.....happend to me and i've never ever smoked anything in my life no cigs or anything.....

Well, aside from nobody getting killed (which I think was touched on) the positive list is pretty short.

My Ranger is not old; no one would call her old. She has a bluff bow, lovely lines. She's a fine truck: weatherly, stiff and fast... very fast, if she's well handled. No, she's not old; she's in her prime.
