well this will be the second time this year my Vibe has visited the body shop The good this is... it wasn't my fault this time! Noone was hurt either.Anyway, I was heading home with my daughter after getting some lunch and I was about a block away from my house when the truck in front of my skids a little (maybe a foot). We were slowing down anyway b/c there was a stop sign coming up. So I stop when he stops and then I see his reverse lights come on He missed the driveway that he meant to turn into and well now I have a nice square dent in my bumper from his trailer hitch Another good thing is he was completly cool about it and admitted fault. Now I just have to wait for the police report and go get two quotes to get things going

Sorry to hear that, but at least it isn't too serious.

At least everyone's ok and it wasn't that bad!It helps when the other guy puts total blame on himself for his own wrong doing's.

Thanks everybody I talked to the insurance guy yesterday. I only have to get one quote and it sounds like it's going to go real easy

GrayFox · Post by **GrayFox** » Fri Sep 28, 2007 1:32 am

I just got my estimate.... $1,300 I didn't figure it would be that much but oh well... I'm not paying Good thing is my bumper has had previous repair (before I bought it) done to it so I'm getting a fresh new shiny bumper Bad thing is i have a foot and a half long crack coming from the passengers side of my windsheild (totally unrelated to my accident)

How about your painted cladding? Will you have to fund that or will it be covered?

GrayFox · Post by **GrayFox** » Fri Sep 28, 2007 1:46 am

I didn't specifically ask but I know I won't have to pay anthing. The paint for the front cladding will more than likely be figured in with the paint for the whole bumper. The cladding didn't get messed up but I'm not sure if it's ordered as one part or what.

ajflan · Post by **ajflan** » Fri Sep 28, 2007 1:55 am

I think the bumper is two pieces. I'm not sure though. At least it should be covered.

GrayFox · Post by **GrayFox** » Fri Sep 28, 2007 2:04 am

yeah, it's two pieces... I guess I might end up with an extra one.I know I'll be getting another grill (the honeycomb part) so I'll have a spare & I have a little idea I wanna try with it

ouch that sucks man, glad you two were alright though, i hate when people are stupid and just dont think before they act

Mrizzle05 · Post by **Mrizzle05** » Thu Oct 04, 2007 3:04 am

i think the bugs helps the damage stay minimal... could have been worse. : )Hope it gets fixed soon... at this rate you might end up getting a tank. lol

GrayFox · Post by **GrayFox** » Thu Oct 04, 2007 4:11 am

haha yeah I'm sure the bugs did their part. Otherwise my whole front end would've just fallen off What kind of horns do tanks have?

Mrizzle05 · Post by **Mrizzle05** » Thu Oct 04, 2007 5:45 am

theres a lil red button.. and then theres a BOOOOOM! then everyone is pretty much outta your way... and no accidents for you.

GrayFox · Post by **GrayFox** » Thu Oct 04, 2007 5:52 am
