That's really too bad man! I hope it works out ok. I word to the wise: don't park behind vehicles that are bigger than you.

Many years ago (70s?) I parked my VW bug behind a semi. a few seconds later the four-ways on the semi came on and the truck started moving backwards. In those old beetles, the horn wouldn't work if the ignition was off (not that he would have heard it anyway). I didn't have time to get the ignition turned on and the trucker didn't stop until he heard crunching metal. al lot worse damage than what you suffered Tru, but at least I'm alive to talk about it!

Dang...just Dang!

Glad you were able to jump right on it and start the "getting it fixed" process. Had a friend with similar damage and he decided it was time to go with the Tiger Shark front end.

Man that sucks. I guess it's a good thing you saw the roach coacher actually do it. Now it proves not only does the food off the roach coach give you an upset stomach but so does the person operating the truck.

The only words I could make out were "I" and "sorry"..The officer that arrived at the scene was fluent in Spanish so that helped quite a bit..

Hi Tru -

That sucks.

Sorry about your car -

I watched a guy back into my Z06 with his Z06 a while back - things happen really fast - and there is nothing you can do but yell -

Heres to a perfect fix!

best regards -
