Unhappy Don't you just love it when......

Your sitting still at a red light and wack !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

My 13 year old was with me and she is fine, I am thankful for that.

POS Ford Ranger that looked like it had been in several wrecks, dude says he has insurance but had no proof, Police gave him a little ticket.

Going for estimates tomorrow.

THAT SUX! Sorry David. I have two bumper end caps if you end up needing them. It doesn't look like it hit your bumper, but they are here for you if you need them.

That is too bad, David! I hope the guy is really holding a current policy.

Ditto on you and your daughter being okay. . .

That picture makes Ralphie cry.

Hope all goes well. Looks like that damage was minimal - as in under $2000.00.

Good luck,
-Z-man.

Man that bites! I am happy to hear your daughter and you are alright though. I am curious as to what the estimates are. I certainly hope he does have valid insurance! Lord knows we all pay for the ones who don't.

Condolences dude...hate that "What the..." helpless feeling.

Been sitting at a light, heard a screech, then thump. Luckily I was in a full size blazer with 4 inch lift and big o' tires. Totaled the Buick and only left a little paint on my trailer hitch. Kinda felt good.

Several years ago when I had a 928 there was a guy on RL with a Barney the dinosaur purple 928 that lived in Las Vegas. Over the 2 years I owned my 928 and was on the list he got rear ended 3 times sitting at lights. Each time he got hit his car had only been out of the body shop for a max of 2 weeks. The common concensus of the list was the rear enders were parents of young children that hated Barney.

Thanks guy's

estimates are

$1192.90
$1511.42
$1819.15
$1834.50
$2769.96

The first 4 are repairing the rear 1/4 panel, the $2700 is replacing the entire rear 1/4, not sure I want that.

Ski, no cell phone, he told the Police he was just not paying attention, picking up the accident report tomorrow.
