No need to whinge or sook, she’ll be right. Utes got a ripper sickie coming thanks to that bogan though. Time to grab the esky, hit the bottle-o, and stuff the rental chockers. Fair dinkum.

(Am I doing this right?)

Ouch. Seems like the Ford’s fault?

Quite possible the ute is totaled depending on how far things got pushed into the engine bay (air bag going off is a bad sign for damage though).

Seems like insurance and repairs could get messy if it is an extensively modified Pontiac, and of course things would be even worse if its illegally imported instead.

In the F150s blindspot maybe.

Yeah, from the damage, the most likely scenario is that the F-150 tried to switch into the ute’s lane, and didn’t see it the F-150's blind spot.

Guess they never got a chance to read my repeated pleas for everyone to adjust their mirrors properly.

I tried!

Yeah, t he damage locations look about right for a merge gone wrong, but it’s more extensive that I’d have expected. May be there’s more to it than that.

I am pretty much 1994, personified.

My jeans stay baggy.

It looks like the Ute was behind the f150 possibly driving too closely. The f150 stopped suddenly for whatever reason and the Ute driver couldn't stop in time so he swerved but clipped the truck. I think this happened due to the angle of the truck's wheel

So? I like them better than Utes.

IMO utes are ugly

Theres lots out there, where as there has to be less than 100 Utes on this continent.

Ugly or not, a fun/rare thing is gone.

Well unless you count rancheros el caminos, rampages, and Brats.

No they look great especially with that Pontiac style grill I want a g8 st so bad. G8 sport truck is basically a mashup between a G8 sedan and power train and the truck bed of the Holden ute and it almost went into production too

Different stroke for different folks. I have a powerstroke and will probably have one for a long time. Can be used as a truck and tow things
