Got rear ended...again :(

[Newcoly]

Well that didn’t take long, 2 months of ownership and got hit at lunch time today…F’ing people don’t know how to drive !!! The guy was in a company truck following the traffic on the side of him instead of watching in front…i came to a stop in a curve, he didn't. a Ford ½ ton CC, tweaked his front bumper and broke a small piece of spoiler…me on the other hand, bumper, pass bed skin and hoping not the drivers skin, as it’s buckled out also from the strange angle he hit me…I need some Bull bumpers lol…Sucks big time, Silver is the hardest color to match …. I’ll be extremely surprised if it does.

Man that sucks. I bet the dude gets fired if that makes you feel any better.

Looks like minimal damage, could have been a lot worse. Still, sorry to hear that. Glad your ok

Dang that does suck! Work for an oilfield services company? Looks like some wireline/e-line equipment in the background.

That sucks, but I've had damage like that before, should be easy to fix fortunately.

Don't feel bad dude. I've been hit twice since I've had my crew cab. 1st time was by a fat b**ch eating a cheese burger. 2nd time was by 2 Alabama cheerleaders.

Did she finish the hamburger after the accident? That would be some funny shit there!

yep, Baker Hughes wireline. we share a building with the Halliburton guys up there in Alaska.

just finished washing it, and both fenders are bowed out. when standing on top of my tonneau cover, it's noticable...yeah, it could have been worse, i could have been pushed into cross-traffic (it's a merging lane that stops in a curve, i was the first one in line)

so far no ill effects, poured a glass of crown/coke just before bedtime just incase

[The Wolf!]

I feel your pain brother. Least your alright

I don't think so. After she hit me the cheese burger got plastered to her windshield.

Sorry to say that I didn't get any pics of the cheerleaders. My wife was with me at the time.

He was driving a company truck? That means $$$$$ for you if you press it enough.

Paint wise, the colors are better matched today than even say 5 years ago. The computer matching even takes into consideration environmental effects on the paint such as fading.

cool, i feel better knowing there's technology out there like that. pretty sure it's going to be both skins and bumper replaced. took the cover and bed liner out and insides are undamaged.

$$$ for physical compensation ? ... i was thinking about it and their insurance may still give me something...but, it's a rental/service company that my work uses sometimes AND it was my brothers neighbor that was driving...so i'd hate to bush the issue too much...
