Ouch!

Really sorry about that...glad you are OK though...

Reminds me of the first week I had my brand new '76 Trans Am, red of course, and some lady backs right up into the front and demolished the entire left side of the grill. I was not happy. It got fixed right, but still...

Good luck with the repairs

Glad you weren't in it at least....

Sorry it happened D. I was wondering if you were gonna post...

It'll be back to norm.... hopefully soon.


What's two more weeks without the ride?

EDIT::: Make sure they have the alignment (which you JUST had done) done over... I'm sure the weight of that Roach Coach pushed it off a bit.

Sounds like they need to put one of those in cab cameras that's activated when you put it in reverse. Hope you get back on the road soon.

It's even worse since you were right there powerless to do anything. Did that maggot even have a license? I do not qualify this as an accident. I can just wish you luck in a speedy and well done repair.

Bummer...sorry to hear. Man would I be pissed if that happened to me.......I would go ballistic !!!

At least you didn't eat off of the truck (roach coach) before getting hit, or you would be crying about your car while sitting on the crapper with the runs........

Hope it all works out for you.

Aw man!

So sorry to hear about this! Dang.

Dave told me all about it today and it hurt just hearing the story. I cant IMAGINE seeing it all happen!

Hang in there....it sucks but at least it can be fixed. Im dealing with some mechanical issues as well, but I keep telling myself "Self, if your biggest worry in life is fixing up your sweet corvette, then you got a good life."

Good luck! Hope to see ya around soon!~~~JadeDragon

He had a license but I had to argue with him about it for 5 minutes! There was a language barrier so that made things a little tough...He didn't want to hand it over because the physical license itself had an expiration date of 3 months ago..When the LEO arrived, he ran the guy's info and it came back valid..Also took the guy about 40 minutes to find his insurance info..He actually works for some lady and the insurance is in her name..It's being taken care of though..
