Go out to get some lawnmower and chainsaw gas, slow down for the stop sign.... some......."lady" flys out of a parking lot, smokes me just in front of the passenger side rear tire, swings the arse end of the truck out, and almosts clips a car coming in the other lane... dog kisses the dash board, and ends up on the floor, looking at me like... WhatthehellUdoin?" I give her the quick check over, she's fine , the 3 of us pull into the lot, the lady who didn't get hit, was great, she said, "I'm staying till the cop gets here and tell him what happened, you had no where to go!", and she was asking if the dog was OK, I hit 911 on the cell, get the cops coming. Take a look at what hit me, YIKES the bumper cover, and front skirt, is ripped right off. Left front fender pushed in, almost to the tire.
Lady that hit me comes over, I am sorry, my fault.... I don't dare speak, mother taught me better, I just nod, and walk s-l-ow-l-y around to the other side....
.... a little ding, some scratched paint, and a lot of rub marks on the tire
Make sure the pooch is OK, she is getting a lot of love from everybody, she's fine... cop shows up, does the paper work, back-up shows up, and asks me if I got any tools...
, I think she can drive it away, if "we" unbolt those 4 bolts on the buper.... I want out of there, but.... "I" unbolt it, hethrows it in her back seat, and away we go.....
Have not had an accident, in 27 years, but, I guess I got reminded why I drive a LARGE vehicle, I'm sure the body shop bill will be a lot more on the Toyota wagon, that clipped me......
did not make my day though.... other than beach wear and tear, the 98 150 "was" virgin.... hope whovever I got to go to, can match green good........
