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

damn that does suck. he prolly didn't hear the horn that we have.... this is a time when a train horn would come in handy glad you n your lil girl are ok

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

Sorry to hear that, but glad that you and your baby girl are OK!Yeah, I want to change the wimpy horn too...

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

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?

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.

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

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

I got my check this weekend and the body shop is ordering my stuff yay!

who else saw that coming? haha I completely forgot about it this weekend... I'll get some today

haha take that you stupid smilies I did get pics btw... I just have to get them off my camera now

you're pretty sadistic to want to see a screwed up bumper that bad

ok V... here's you're stinking pictures, bugs and all

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

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

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?

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

haha I always joke with my wife that I need a little red button in the Vibe... you know to get to the store a little quicker and stuff

I finally got to drop my car off today My rental you ask? A lovely 02 Buick Rendezvous... yuck I'll be soooo glad to have my vibe back!

what are you talkin about?? tiger woods has one of those, and manages to get locked out of it all the damn time does it come with onstar?? i'd be makin all kinds of random stupid calls just because it's free

nope, no onstar and this is deffinately nothing like what Tiger Woods would drive haha
