Monday was not a very good day for my truck . Wish people knew how to wait their turn at a 4 way stop, but since it is done and over I need to look for a new vehicle anyone got any good ideas?

Had a similar thing happen to me in Chicago, dude left highway and came back on for some reason, into same corner of my civic that your truck was hit in. The guy's ladyfriend was like, "why you calling the cops?" I said, "well, we were just in an accident". Her: "Well, we have to get going. We were just in traffic court yesterday. He ain't got no license" Me: well, they might want you to be here. Her: "here's our address, we gotta go".
Sorry for the long story...but.
Cop gets there, I explain it. Cop: "why didn't you stop them?". Me: "Well, I coulda jumped on the guy's back, but I'm thinking that might have opened up another can of worms for you to deal with". The cop said that they really couldn't investigate it, but if I wanted to press charges and set up some kind of court date I could. I was like, forget about it. I'm not coming back to this hellhole with my daughter as a witness (she was there...was taking her to the aquarium) to deal with these folks in court (if the license and address were even legit).
So, I fixed it myself for around $500. New door from scrapyard, luckily in same color, and ordered front quarterpanel which I had painted to match. Was all about as good as new except the plastic ground effects in front I didn't bother with. Car had a lot of miles on it...and was working fine.

Around 1980, in Savannah GA. I it a man who pulled out in front of me. I tried to swing around behind him. I would have made it but, he stopped. The man was 92 and the first person to stop was his insurance agent. His first comment was: " another one I see". The police issued him a citation and I went to court to watch. The judge pulled his license because of his driving record. The old man started to cuss out the judge. The judge told his family to remove him before he had to cite him for contempt. Everyone felt sorry for his loss of freedom but, knew it was the right decision. At least he had State Farm Insurance and they paid promptly.
