Bad Monday

tonyd · 09-09-2008, 07:35 AM

My truck got creamed yesterday as it sat innocently in the parking lot at work. A co-worker coming to work apparently blacked out coming around the turn, floored her truck, hit a Toyota which grazed the car in front of it, continued pushing the Toyota into my truck (which spun around and hit the wall) and then continued out into the street where it finally stopped. I heard the whole thing from upstairs; initial impact, tires screeching, second impact and a whole lot more tires screeching. The Toyota is totaled, I've got thousands in damage. Thank God no one was injured.

Poor you!
Poor girl who blacked out.
Poor Toyota.

That's a big bummer. Thank goodness everyone was ok. I hope you get her fixed quickly.

That hurts looking at it. I hope you are able to get it fixed with to much trouble.

Please keep us informed.

btw, let us know why she blacked out as well.

Ouch!
I sure hope you get your SSR fixed good as new right away!
And I hope the person who blacked out can get the medical help she needs so it doesn't happen again to her. Lucky no one was injured or killed in the mishap.

We are sorry to hear about the accident...We know a good body shop if you want to check it out. He is reasonable and knows his stuff.

I feel your pain my fellow SSR fanatic. I was rearended not to long ago by an illeagal person of Hispanic decent. Needless to say he fled, the truck was stolen and I got stuck w/ all the repairs

Then I waited for a month to get the parts in, plus several more weeks getting after market parts in. The R is looking good again but it's staying in the garage until I can figure out why I keep getting check engine light for my Cat Converter, even after changing out my sensors fore and aft of the converter.

It hurts just to look at it. Hope it is better real soon.
