Default I got that dreaded phone call today.....

The girlfriend took my truck to drop our daughter off at a birthday party....And got in an accident in the parking lot. Im still waiting for her to get home. Nobody got hurt, but she said "the step and the door are messed up". Sounds like she basically didnt see the car and took the front bumper off with the drivers side of the rig. So I guess I'll be spending money on getting 2 vehicles repaired instead of cool stuff for the truck. Just had to vent. Shes a good driver, she can even back a trailer better than some of my friends can. just one of those things that happens i guess. Sorry, had to vent and I was online when she called.

Tough luck man. It happens, and as long as its not a recurring issue, shouldnt be a big deal. Personally, thats why i have a second car, so they can trash that one and not my baby

Everyone is fine, it was on the way to a birthday party for my 7 yr olds friend.

thats what pisses me off, her car just broke down the other day. She drives my truck sometimes, but mainly uses her car. Except this one time.....I just went out and looked at it too. ill put up some pics soon. It sucks.

I dont like letting ANYONE drive my truck. If someone wants to borrow it to haul something, they borrow me. The truck just comes with me. The truck is too big-- people arent used to driving something this size. Its REALLY hard to see the corners, impossible actually. You kinda have to guess. You're in the exact same boat as we have the same exact lift

yep i hear ya man. Only reason i didnt take her myself is because im supposed to be sleeping since im going in on the night shift tonight. both passenger door rockers are smashed in and my tube step is actually underneath the truck now folded up. did a good job on it. man, im pissed. Oh, and she didnt get their phone number so i cant even call and try to settle it on my own since my buddy owns a body shop. but of course they have ALL of our info. sucks. no cops were called so no reports or anything.
