My 4Runner Died

My friend was driving my 4Runner and fell asleep at the wheel 2 blocks from my house. I was riding passenger and another friend was in the back. He fell asleep, we went up on the sidewalk, took out a small tree, hit a wall, and then rolled over. Everyone was wearing their seatbelts, and no one got hurt. I hope insurance considers it totaled, but it held up pretty well. The front has some moderate damage, the driver front wheel ripped off at the balljoints with spindle rotors all still attached, and the side the it rolled onto seems to be in alright shape. It has a broken mirror, smashed fender, and broken glass front passenger side. None of the pillars seem to be bent and the airbags didnt go off either. Anyways, just wanted to share some pics with you guys.

I was able to get some stuff from it, mostly stereo stuff and floor mats. If the insurance decides to total it, then I think I am going to get a Chevy Silverado. It is more practical for my uses. The S/C was removed awhile ago. I will sell it for $1400 if you are interested. It has about 30k on it. I usually don't let friends drive my car either, but I had been drinking so I figured he would be a better driver than me. I guess I was wrong.

I was drunk, but the driver was 100% sober. The Police breath-a-lized him. Drinking doesn't have anything to do with the accident. He fell asleep. A bigger SUV? Last time I checked a Silverado is a full-sized pickup. Next time before you post, why don't you read the thread so you don't waste anyone's time reading your nonsense.

I must have missed something.

Why are people ganging up on koyota? He said he was too drunk to drive, so he let his friend drive, that's exactly what he should have done. He even told us that his friend was given a breathalizer and was 100% sober during the wreck.

Why is everyone getting all pissy about it?

Well if the driver was drunk when the 4runner was flopped over, then I would agree 100% with your posts. I just don't see any reason to believe the driver was drunk.
