I had that happen to me. Turned out to be a blessing in disguise. Got $7,800 for my car that I paid $5,300 for. So I made $2,500 and got a newer car. Weird how something like that actually worked to my favor.
I purchased a wrecked car with the intent to repair and flip it. I had the title in the glove box so it would be easy to find. But the front half caught fire and the interior as well, but the back half looked normal. So I put a for sale sign “fire sale, these hot deals must go, custom smoke windows, title in the glove box “ Figured I would take whatever was offered or just give it away if someone needed parts. My father was home when someone inquired about it. He asked “do you have the title”🤦🏻 My father replied “sign says it’s in the glove box”
You can get replacement titles made. Clearly that takes time though. Not as funny, but just letting you know, because filing for lost titles is a PITA, especially if it was already a salvage or bonded title.
I am too and drive a modern vehicle. New-Old-Stock parts are getting harder to find and more expensive, so the more you drive your classics, the more they wear out and you end up having to scour for parts.
@@CJColvin sorry about the bad joke and sorry the loss your truck. I have one. And I hate to see them go out like that .. but you’re handling like I would it doesn’t do any good to get upset over situations you can’t control. Good luck hopefully you find something out that doesn’t break you.
@Iherb7365ket Oh that's not my truck, I have a 2011 Ford F150 with a 5.0L Coyote V8 in it, I was just feeling sorry for the other guy on this channel who lost his truck.
I once saw a boulder that had fallen down onto the shoulder of the county road going through a cattle ranch. It was probably 15 feet in diameter. The rancher put a big "Free" sign on it, hoping somebody would take it away
Had a tree fall on my house several years back. It flattened my back patio aluminum awning but just laid down slowly on top of the house,, Wasd about midnight and it made a lot of noise. I went into the bedrooms of my 2 teen daughters and in the dark, I asked if they were ok. They slept through the entire thing and didn't wake up until I asked. 😄
Had something similar happened to me on Easter.. but there was a fella in the truck, and the thing that struck the truck was a 40foot and a 30 foot boat... And a lighthouse.
I was having a stressful day with my kids once. I posted on fb asking if anyone wanted to “rent” my kids for the day and I would pay $50. I even posted at the bottom that “this is a joke” because people are so overly sensitive these days. Anyway, fb took it upon themselves to post this on marketplace! I had never had fb hijack my post like that before! I’m really surprised CPS or the cops never knocked on my door! It took me awhile to manage to get this post taken down. I would delete it and then it would pop back up a few weeks later. I think it’s finally gone.
Pulls up in front of the house during a storm and says, "lets wait here in the truck for the rain to let up a bit...." I know why he's got such a good outlook on things.
I’m proud of him and his positive outlook on this!🫡 But, I’m hurt for him and it’s not even my truck!😭 Praying he will get a full replacement of his truck, if not a newer truck!🙏
If you don't laugh, you cry. When you laugh at the worst of life, people look at you like you are wierd... which gives you a whole other reason to laugh!
All you can do is try to laugh about it like this guy did. It sucks when things like this happen but that’s why we have insurance. We have to remember it’s just a vehicle, I can’t say I’d be as upbeat as this guy is.😁
Hopefully you have good insurance coverage on your truck and you can buy it back from your insurance company if you want to it looks like a body swap if you’re handy with a torch and welder.
It's just outta gas! No, seriously though, that thing is toast, looking over the damage I'd only say that there are a couple parts that "may" have salvage value, but that's the tailgate and rear lights ($300 on a good day). Considering the tires popped means that even the wheels would likely be structually compromised, much less the axles.
I mean, I've seen some real doozies still driving around. These cars and trucks are what your friendly neighbors to the East refer to as "Michigan Specials". Usually prevalent in the Detroit area
When the insurance adjuster tells you what they'll pay...That'll be the joke.
Or "We are sorry, but it was parked incorrectly.".
theyll be bye in november, untill then make those payments.
😂😂😂
As long as he has Comprehensive coverage, they will.
@@Technical_Communication*(sad but true) ---> METALLICA 🤘*
No good deed goes unpunished. I like his positive outlook.
Truck for sale as is. Comes with 1 free cord of firewood already loaded & ready to go.
There ya go! ❤
You can either cry or laugh; choosing the latter is the way to go.
A little of the first, but a lot of the latter. Some things are meant to keep us sane, while the rest of the world drives us F@(&KING INSANE.
Every supervillain agrees.
“Adult driven, no low ballers, I know what I got. “
😂 cash only
Garage kept. Never seen snow or salt. Will not respond to is this available.
What a great attitude! Good for him! I hope his insurance comes through ASAP! 👍👍😊
You know most of that will buff right out
Seinfield 😅😅😅
Came looking for this comment. Was not disappointed.
Insurance company be like, best we can do is 100 bucks, most of that will buff out with polish!😅
Man he has a terrific attitude, would love to be his neighbor.. Hope the insurance company takes care of you, bub!!
Great attitude! At least there won't be any more problems parking there again.
I had that happen to me. Turned out to be a blessing in disguise. Got $7,800 for my car that I paid $5,300 for. So I made $2,500 and got a newer car. Weird how something like that actually worked to my favor.
most people aren't that fortunate
We need more positive people like this Yes Money can buy another truck but friends ,family ,and health can never be bought back
He sounds like he'd be a really great neighbor. !!!!
This guy has life figured out 🙂👍
Insurance sadly will say," it's only worth 500.00$,,we'll cut you a check on the spot "...
"Oh, and by the way, we're going to need to raise your rates"
Does it come with a LOG book 😂😂😂😂😂😢 .
It does, you just have to mill your own paper first. 😂😂😂
no, but special wood paneling
Shut up 😂😂
A good sense of humor is vital in life. I would say this man has a great sense of humor and should life a long great life~! Shalom

“Low miles, well maintained, tree-mendous savings!”
You deserve more likes! 😂
Good on him for having a sense of humor...Hope he gets a new truck that he loves even more!
As long as he included “ no lowballers, I know what I got “
As he said - vehicles can be replace - people cannot. Love the story
Not all vehicles can be replaced.
“I’m an old car guy” but yet drives a newer f150… lol
I am too and drive a modern vehicle.
New-Old-Stock parts are getting harder to find and more expensive, so the more you drive your classics, the more they wear out and you end up having to scour for parts.
USED TO DRIVE
Its about 12 years old. It's not newer either.
Same here (even though mine is a 2011)
I mean, as cool as old cars are, it’s nice to have something that you can trust and feel safe in too lol
“No low ball offers, I know what I got”.
The engine and other power train still looks intact
i could make that bed work. they arent cheap.
I love his attitude
On the bright side you won’t have to drive the eco boost anymore 😂
That's true brother

Living up to logo; FORD, Found On Road Dead. (has Acme branched out to tree service?)
We’ll have to ask Mr Coyote about that, he is an expert at all things ACME.
@@brian5o did he move up to quality control? I thought he was stuck in product review.
Low miles, new tires, non-smoker vehicle, no lowballers, I know what I got.... (poor guy, hope he has good insurance).

He can sell the taillights for a couple grand each. 😂
thousand's in part's alone.
Tis but a scratch !
Hope his insurance does him right😢 poor guy but GREAT attitude😂❤
Lord bless that man, he is more patient then eye

That's one reason i got rid of facebook. The second was to much B.S. on it .
“Recycling pickup “
Exactly
Very punny and underrated comment here.
things can be replaced, wife and kids cant.
Wife and kids can be replaced.
Pulls up in front of the house during a storm and says, "lets wait here in the truck for the rain to let up a bit...."
I know why he's got such a good outlook on things.
It will live on, as a stolen clone
Hommie got a new vin for his new truck. Everyone is happy
Never seen this convertible version at a dealership before. Being custom it should add value. 😂
One owner. Heck you can even make it a convertible. With a little cutting..
Perfect attitude. This guy is great..
The truck can be replaced, lives can not! That’s all that matters
I hope he gets enough money to purchase a brand new truck without having to make payments.
- he forgot the classic …. “ no low ballers, I know what I have “ 🤣🤣🤣. Seems like a cool guy to have a cold beer with 👍
Also a "Slightly Weather Conditioned" sign might be good too.
Insurance will come back with a, "we're sorry, but you don't have the policy that covers trees larger than 4 mm in diameter."
So parking in your own damn driveway was CLEARLY left out of the LOGICAL choices to make.....
Negative Nancy. If it bothers you so much, you need to lighten up.
Maybe he doesn't have a driveway or other cars were already parked there
Recycling destroyed his truck!!!
Custom, one of a kind.
At least he’s keeping a good sense of humor about it I guess
"As is, no low-ballers, i know what i got."
"Don't ask if it's still available, if the post is up that means it's still available..."
"Gnarly", "Smooshed" - first time I've heard these used in a news broadcast 😄
Not to often you hear the word smushed on the news lol
Is the tree included?
Also, the fact that they reported he has a backup vehicle, means he could've went to work still...
They better bring a bigger recycling truck next time 😅
I could use that selfie for a get out of work day 🤣🤣🤣
I like that he has a good sense of humor 😂 and laughs about it. For Sale At, it is 😉✌️😂.
I’m proud of him and his positive outlook on this!🫡
But, I’m hurt for him and it’s not even my truck!😭
Praying he will get a full replacement of his truck, if not a newer truck!🙏
Her shirt though...wowsers!
This man has good energy, I hope he gets his insurance to replace it.
0:27 bet the motor is fine…. If it’s for sale what are you asking?
Does it come with the tree?
If you don't laugh, you cry. When you laugh at the worst of life, people look at you like you are wierd... which gives you a whole other reason to laugh!
What a crushing disappointment, still, no good crying over it. Always look on the bright side of life.
Literally Found On Road Dead.
When God wants you to get a new truck.
Tree looks rotted. City should pay him.
Ford should see this video and help him out. Would be nice to see Ford engaging with their customers!
The laugh at the end was of pure pain
Totaled. Belongs to the Insurance Company now.
It is a one-of-a-kind natural work of art...exploit the opportunity ! 🤣
Has no one ever looked on Facebook marketplace?
In a no joke matter you see this every day
All you can do is try to laugh about it like this guy did. It sucks when things like this happen but that’s why we have insurance. We have to remember it’s just a vehicle, I can’t say I’d be as upbeat as this guy is.😁
If it wasn't a Ford, the engine and transmission would be valuable.
That’s some nice Oak firewood right there, couple of cords worth.
A very nice yard planter.
Hopefully you have good insurance coverage on your truck and you can buy it back from your insurance company if you want to it looks like a body swap if you’re handy with a torch and welder.
Probably will need some suspension work and other not so minor things done to it. That truck’s a total loss, in my opinion.
Positive waves 👍
That was the laughter of insanity..
"Ran when Parked" 😂
Great sense of humor.
Moral of the story…don’t recycle ♻️🤷
My insurance would make me wait a month to get the vehicle to a shop for evaluation.
Sadly, this truck will ‘leave’ soon.
Ford tough 😂
felt the pain of that laugh at the end
We need more news anchors wearing latex tops
Considering the fact that it's a Ford, the tree only improved it...
if the motor and frame are still good you could always get a replacement cab.
Could sell for parts. Engine could be salvaged.
It's a little easier to be cavalier when you're not broke. Living week to week. I aint mad at him, i just wish i could afford his trash.
It'll buff out.😂
I had this happen. It sucks. Sorry.
i’m really interested in it. what you want for motor and trans
His attitude is tougher
I think that will buff out
My bobcat would pick that up easy, maybe it’s bc that tree company had a little stand on
Eric is waiting for the insurance company…
Check back later, much later.
It's just outta gas!
No, seriously though, that thing is toast, looking over the damage I'd only say that there are a couple parts that "may" have salvage value, but that's the tailgate and rear lights ($300 on a good day). Considering the tires popped means that even the wheels would likely be structually compromised, much less the axles.
I mean, I've seen some real doozies still driving around. These cars and trucks are what your friendly neighbors to the East refer to as "Michigan Specials". Usually prevalent in the Detroit area
those kind of ads are annoying and a waste of time to look at.
its equivalent to a scam ad.
Insurance umm yeah we dont cover that 🤷♂️ sorry
That's a genuine rat rod !
