Wow...nothing like kicking us in the ***. As if we dont have enough to deal with with a 3,000 Mile Military PCS Move coming up...My wife calls me this morning at 11am telling me she was driving through the town square here in Watertown and somebody backed out of a perpendicular parking spot INTO TRAFFIC and smacked her. I don't really know how it happened, I was not with her. She said it was a little old lady not paying attention and felt bad for her. I dont know who this woman is, but I want to kick her ***! Who backs out of a space adjacent to a major roadway, into traffic? Furthermore, you can't see this big *** TRUCK coming right at you? I will let the pix tell the story. Theres at least $5,000 in damage. It moved the bed 2 inches off center as well. FML.

EDIT: Having seen the accident report, the lady that hit her had a DOB of 1925. As such, I do not want to beat her senseless...I do however, want my new truck fixed, fast and correctly.

 

5 attachment limit? Really?

 

Who cares if she is 85? If you can't drive, get off the road. Period.

 

It will never be the same sadly

 

I agree, totally.

I am not nessecarily a believer of that. I have seen miracles worked in a body shop. There is no frame damage, I have been underneath it, around it and through it with a fine toothed comb...its honestly all cosmetic. The bed mounts were not torn, or destroyed, looks like it just moved the bed (the holes are oversized and the bolts are secured with washers/bushings to allow for adjustment). I see no crinkles, or wrinkles anywhere. other than the localized damage. I do think though, that the Step Bars saved ALOT of damage. She did all of that with a 2008 Subaru Legacy.

I called the insurance co an hour ago. The lady's insurance co is Traveler's. They seem pretty easy to deal with so far. I have a claim # already and their adjuster is supposed to be getting back to me today. With any luck, I will have the truck in the shop by monday. Whatever happens, it needs to happen fast. I hope I dont end up claiming it on my insurance (geico). My rates are LOW, and I want to keep them that way.

 

Dude, that sucks. You've barely had it, what, two weeks?

Old people do.

 

Dude that sucks and you just got it. Good thing theres no frame damage. Good luck!

 

New info, come to find out my wife was STOPPED at a red light and the old broad backed out without looking and smacked her. WOW. I find all this out after talking with my wife about it tonight over dinner. Clearly neglegence on her part. and yes, the 12th of december was 2 weeks.

 

Cosmetic damage is easy to fix and a bed on a pick up can be moved easily, it's no different then having a car and getting it resprayed to freshen it up

 

It's not too bad but I understand getting accident of a new car. I hope the body shop will get your truck back to new.

What do you try to show on picture #4?

 

that sucks. sorry to hear that josh.

 

Damn that sucks (seems trendy). Thread title is clever

 

The separation of the door from the body. It no longer seals properly at the top.

 

New pix, clean (cleaner anyway)...just after the laserwash.

 

Thats harsh! She should not be on the road if she is incompetent.
