Red Alert goes to the Collision Shop
 
Against her will. :cry: :cry: :cry:



Well, I was driving to work again today. Going down Schoehnerr and I was in the right turn lane to turn onto 14 Mile Rd. There was a pickup truck with a steel trailer next to me in the "right lane" (but the one that goes straight, not the TURN lane) and he flicked his blinker on. I was literally even with his trailer, when all of the sudden he swerves ACROSS the right lane to turn into the Marathon gas station. Well there was no avoiding it, his trailer slammed against my car and I got hit hard. He gets out and is apologizing like crazy when I realize that I ****in went to school with the kid and was friends with him back in HS. I wasn't really that mad, 75% of the damage was on the fender and the bumper again. My door was toast, and my mirror was ripped right off and dangling by the power mirror wires. I was really thankful that my carbon fiber grill didn't get damaged. So we called the cops and I had a flatbed come pick me up because it wasn't drivable -- the driver's side door won't open all the way, and then when it's open, you have to pry it upwards before it'll latch again.

So I get to the collision shop, and the guy is driving it from the estimate area to one of their spots in the shop, and he ****ing rolls over the carbon fiber grill. Busts the lamp, another lamp falls out, and the carbon fiber is all ****ed up, so now that's going to have to be replaced -- and that's $425 by itself.

Anyway, here's the pics:

dude thats way ******! sucks major ***

Mike Jones 04-20-2007 12:31 PM

Ouch, you've been having some bad luck lately.

I hate when people do that. That's why if I'm in that situation I will just contiune to drive and turn around. It's not worth getting into an accident just to get there 2 mins earlier.

98CamaroZ28 04-20-2007 12:57 PM

man thats harsh, hopefully your hood is ok and all of that, hopefully you get some nice insurance $$$ that would be nice if they over payed you to get some extra $$ for your car.

Jpack 04-20-2007 01:32 PM

That right there is F'd up man!!! I would be more than pissed!

96camaro 04-20-2007 01:49 PM

That sucks man.

squirrelishere 04-20-2007 01:49 PM

That's why I NEVER like driving next to someone. I'll either drive ahead of you or behind you. Your butt swerves, I got space to move. Sorry to hear that man. That totally sucks. Good luck with the repair!

Oh, and I love this line:

I was really thankful that my carbon fiber grill didn't get damaged.

FamousZ 04-20-2007 01:57 PM

That sucks Brian! I am sorry to hear and see that! I hope you can get everything worked out..
