WTF!!!! Hit again

[RememberThisTitan]

will i ever get a break? some hear may have read my post three weeks ago about my incident of catching the lady in the parking lot hiting my door with hers. today on my site while talking to a sub and co worker, one of the subs downstairs yells up "who has to nissan". i started thinking i was blocking someone in the driveway. wait a minute, im not parked in the driveway, im in the street. My stomach dropped. the sub im with askes, "what is someone going to hit it", in a joking matter. other guy says too late. $#&*@#&&*@*@^&@**!^@%,. The painter on the site somehow, i dont know how, hit the right rear corner of the bed. damage to the body, tailight, and bumper. luckily alot of people saw what happened. he wants to pay for it out of pocket thinking it will only be a couple hundred dollars. he can pay if he wants, but i know he will change his mind when he sees the estimate. im actually taking it pretty well. getting use to it i guess. at least i dont have to pay to get it fixed. figure while its at the shop i will get that other dent fixed as well. back when i won the dumb *** of the day award.

HOLY CRAP!!!!!!!!! Man, dont park anywhere near ME!!! you got BADDDD Luck!!! Well get an Est. and give it to him, and whtch him FREEK-OUT!!!! Good Luck!!!!

yeah watch him freak LOL my estimate was $1100 back when I won the dumb a$$ of the day award and backed into my carport support pillar - scrapped up the rear right quarter panel pretty good - they replaced the tailight and the bed cap (bed cap because when they take it off to repair the dent/scratch, it can't be put back on as the connectors are broken - basically it is not meant to ever be taken off). Good luck

Bummer, sorry to hear that.

Sorry to hear that bad luck hit has struck you twice. I got my first, (and hopefully last), hit on the way home from work last night.

My Titan took $1,375 of damage, (the estimate), from a hit-n-run, low-life.

I had been though some real pea-soup fog and had come into a pretty clear area and was feeling relieved to be out of the thick stuff.

I pulled up to the stop sign and was waiting to make a left turn, and some type of suv, (like a maybe a blazer), was coming from my left down the highway that I was about to turn on. I had to wait for it and the car behind it to cross in front of me, before I could turn on to the hwy. but at the last second low-life decides to make a right turn on to my road.

One of low-life's right tires hit the Titan's passenger side bumper, (yep the passenger's side!), and then the suv continued though a field and eventually back to the road I had been on. He was probably going 40 MPH when he hit the bumper, bending it back so my right tire would rub. So I couldn't tail low-life for the CHP. I don't know what the penalty is for hit-n-run, but with the only injuries being to my Titan, probably not severe enough.

Anyway the tow truck guy unbolted the bumper's brace on that side and pulled it out far enough so I can drive it. The plastic end section of the bumper was in about 5 pieces behind the truck in a pile. The bumper has dimples and holes for clips or screw, cutouts for the fogs, and contours under these cowls, so anyone thinking of removing them as a cosmetic mod, don't.

A few more inches and I probably would have been getting plummeted with air-bags because low-life was really moving. I don't remember feeling hardly anything but I knew I was hit. From the looks of the damage, if I'd been in the Camry or the Caravan, it would have taken the fender and maybe the hood too.
This is one of the reasons I got a big truck. Big trucks have big bumpers and the Titan's bumper is one big piece of steel.

Anyway guys, I didn't cry, but I almost did when my wife reminded me there's a deductible.

Bumper rubbing or not, I'd have chased his ***. Period!

You might have made it a quarter a mile before the tire shreaded.

[OnebadSE]

Certainly wouldn't take a 1/4 mile to catch a Blazer....lol. When I'm pissed, watch out! Just need a plate number.

I had a front end collision @ 35 MPH with a saturn (poor poor saturn it lost its life on the road forever....did you know they were made of plastic, No dent pop back on this dent) and it cost me $5500 to fix it all, they had to fix Change the Radiator Core cause the lights are mounted to it with plastic, buy a new light, change the grill change the bumper and right side end cap, change the hood, change the fender, change the wheel and tire, but it held up alot better than the chevy i saw that hit a pole at 5ph in front end and is going to cost him close to the same amount. Titan's are made like beasts.

[phillipyang]

lol Titan's are not made like beasts... Any car with aluminum/plastic exterior will br F_____ed up. hehe

IMO, my 1988 Crown Victoria will probably survive a crash better than anything I have today. Its all metal outside.

But it all depends on mass and the area you get hit still...

I recommend that you go out to the nearest construction site and buy 4 I-beams. Weld them to all four sides of your truck and then let the idiots run ito you.
