Default Hot rod Lincoln

Had a little encounter with a Lincoln Suv which made a left turn into my door.

After a little clean up with all the paint and tire scuffs gone, I found the crack line under the the first tire scuff.

Low car, tall SUV, no blind spot warning. Sucks...

That's what he said..." I didn't see you." The car is at the dealer body shop right now. Repair estimate $945.

Sorry to see that - and good luck with the repair. Doesn't sound like too bad of a price to get it fixed.

There is a truck commercial running that shows a scratched up pick up truck... and a women says about the deep scratches," its just another chapter in the book". WE, don't view our rides as "just another chapter", but as art in motion, only use the best products (oil, parts etc.) and take pride in what it looks like and not just transportation.

A.. I would have thought a Lincoln would have been upscale enough to have a Blind Spot detection as a standard feature (under whatever name they call it). Of course you have to use your turn signal normally to activate that!
B. Hopefully he didn't spend so much on his SUV that he couldn't afford good insurance!

Glad no one get hurt and like they said the car can be fixed. My AE with 10k miles on it got t boned a couple of years ago and totaled by an 80 year woman who didn't know what a red light was.

Sorry to hear that but, @the DEALER body shop? Did you hit your head?

Would NEVER take my car to DEALER body shop! Why didn’t you take it to a good VETTE shop since, it wasn’t your fault anyways?

Hope both sides match!

Yeah, that is a newer Chevy truck commercial. I hate that commercial for the same reason you state. C'mon. Have some pride in what you own.

Ouch, glad no one was hurt. I'm surprised it will cost less than a grand to fix.
