FML.....

Well, driving on 24 towards Nashville, which is a horrible road, some lady in a Ford Escape didn't like driving in her lane and suddenly turned into my lane and hit me. My airbags did not deploy, and as of now no frame damage. This just makes me sad.... scared it will never be the same and this was my favorite truck.


edit: no one was hurt and she claimed she was at fault. told the cop she turned into and hit me also. Hopefully she doesn't change her mind later.

 

Very sorry about that, hope everyone was ok.

 

That sucks. Any issues with the lady claiming it’s not her fault? That seems to be normal these days. Her insurance taking care of it?

 

sucks man - on the best color too.

 

As of right now, she said she was at fault and according to USAA, her insurance is covering it.

 

Everyone was good. No injuries other than stiff back. The hood release in the cab stabbed me and pinched my leg for a moment but didn't hurt.

 

Sorry to hear this, glad everyone is healthy and ok..

 

F%$^#ing Fords always trying to take Tundras with them to the junk yard... Can't accept their destiny alone.

 

Glad you're alright man and hopefully it's just body/wheel damage. Still hurts when one of the best colors is injured though!

 

Got a pro in MGM scheduled to be built in three weeks...
Looking at yours hurts...sorry for your loss.

 

Interstate 24 in and around Nashville is a cursed roadway. If it can't be avoided one's antenna must be up at all times. Just an incredible daily collection of idiots, fools and buffoons.

Hope its all made 100% well for ya.

 

Once you get the estimates for the actual repair, if your state allows for it, make sure you research “Diminished Value Claim” and have an independent appraiser help you get that rolling as well.
Also, even if minor, make sure you get yourself (and any passengers) checked out. Micro tears and other damage from an accident is often not immediately apparent because of adrenaline and stress. One-two days later suddenly that little bit of stiffness becomes something of an entirely different animal.

 

I worry about this shit each and every time i go out. As long as everyone is ok that is the important thing. Why cant people open their eyes and slow down ? Too many ass clowns!!!

 

Oh man...

 

Might be a good opportunity to get it painted white

 

He don't want it slow, He wants it to look good !!!!!

 

That's some bullshit right there, excuse my French. I feel your pain, as I had my new truck only 2 months before some teeny bopper side swiped me while playing on her cell phone. Needless to say it almost went girl on girl violence, I was soooo pissed!

 

Man she got you good. That's a lot of damage. Sorry!

 

Sorry OP

 

Sorry. This sucks!

 

Glad to hear everyone's okay! Sucks about your baby though. I get upset when a rock hits mine, so I can't imagine how you must feel right now

 

Man sorry to hear that! In my experience a ticket from a cop is a great way to show fault, versus taking her word for it. Did the officer write a ticket?

 

Not yet. Insurance states I’m not at fault so far.

 

24 is chaos. And I thought I was watching but this lady was a damn ninja and got me.

 

I’ve had 3 white and 2 MGM. When this is fixed, not sure what color to get now!

 

No ticket.

 

I’m good. My back did hurt but when she hit my it was a side swipe so I wasn’t jarred or jerked around. But I’m good. As far as I know they are also.

And I plan to so diminished value. Used it before

 

Glad you’re OK. But there would be no way in hell I’d want that truck back fixed.

 

That’s not too bad they can fix that right up. Lucky it wasn’t worse.
