Just when you think you car is safe in the garage

[jasonjb75]

Look what happened here.  I was out to eat with my wife for our anniversary and I came home to this.  I guess a guy leaving the house accross the alley backed into my garage.  He is 83 and he says he had his foot on the brake but it wasn't working  He also said he only did a little damage to the door.  The car had the brake set and was in gear and he still managed to push it over the parking block and ahead about two feet.

bummer to say the least,..
happy anniversary anyhow.. 

[MorePwr]

That's messed up!! At least you weren't working on it at the time...Still! bummer.. I'd be hitting up the insurance co. BIG TIME!

Happy Anniversary.

Man! I I get upset when my wife stacks crap on my cars.

[jasonjb75]

.. I'd be hitting up the insurance co. BIG TIME!

Ohh I've been on the phone with everybody , you can count on that.  My insurance said they'll be sending out an appraiser shortly.  His insurance is also sending out someone to look at it as well.  What a pain in the A$$

[Blown70]

SO when is the funeral for the old guy.  Sorry that is just uncalled for and he sure would be getting his ass sued.

Man, that sucks! It's bad enough that you have to worry about morons on the road with a classic car. I hope you get it all taken care of without too much hassle.

holy crapola!!! man i am so sorry!

[jasonjb75]

I'm curious to see what the dollar amount of damage will be.  I think the rear valance will need to be replaced as well as the panel around the brake lights.  I haven't seen them available???  I'm not sure what's up the the rear decklid.  The front valance is dented which also damage the left front fender.  Not to mention that both bumpers were damaged as well.

Chrome the bumpers, paint the whole car....How about pain and suffering!

[CB]

I hope you can work it out, sorry to hear your troubles!

[hemi68charger]

Man, !!!!   That sucks......... Hope you're able to get her fixed without too much grief............. Will this be covered under his auto insurance or your homeowner's insurance?

Good luck and nice '69.............

 damn  sorry to see that   ,   looks a real nice looking charger ,  could of been a lot worse . hope the repairs and insurance gets sorted ok .  when i first saw the picture , with out reading the text i thought a  scum bag had tried to break- in to steel your charger .

[Charger_Fan]

That does suck, but Tan Top's right, it could have been worse...like what happened to this guy!






He had it parked in front of his house & his neighbor came home drunk.
If it was me, that would be one DEAD neighbor!

[jasonjb75]

............. Will this be covered under his auto insurance or your homeowner's insurance?

I have both his insurance and mine to come and look at it.  Even if I claim it on my insurance my company will go after his and go after the money along with my deductable.  I know that the damage to the garage is being covered under my homeowners.

[6670charger]

Still sucks, though.  Like you said, it isn't even safe in your garage.

[Arthu®]

No matter that you will probably get enough money from the insurance co. to fix the damage but it is still just a pain in the ass. It just sucks, but not much you can do about it. Happy anniversary though.

That is just sickening. 

I hope everything works out OK for you. Maybe the door slowed him down some or the damage could have been worse. 

[bull]

Nice.

[8WHEELER]

Boy that is painfull to see, sorry for your loss. Only one thing that may help maybe a little, at least the good
weather and car shows are done for the next 6mo...........in Seattle anyway. Hope you get the car
fixed to your satisfaction good luck.

I think I would cry if that was my car. I thought the same thing that someone broke into the garage. Happy anniversery. Keep us up dated on this. I'm curious to hear what the other guys insurance adjuster quotes your car worth.

[70charginglizard]

Thats just so wrong in so many ways I can't even begin to speak.

Damn dude that S U C K 's!

Hopefully the insurance co. Doesn't screw you over this because it didn't happen out on the road. I wouldn't put it above the bastards though.

[nitrometal]

You must have felt sick when you got home.  So sorry. 

I have an 80+ year old couple across the street from me and now I'm worried!
