the red one got hit. majority of the stuff that was salvaged are things that you don't really see on the outside like suspension, axles, etc.

Dang sad to see that. Hope you are ok, even if she didn't make it.

Did they throw oil dry on the road, or is that mud that fell off the bottom of the truck?

the accident itself looked worse than it was, i think. we were t-boned, the truck flopped over on its side and we were all ok.

ya, all that brown was something they put to absorb the oil.
