Parking Lot Party

As of today, my Taco got a little bit of "upgrading". I exited my parking spot and drove down the lane until BAM!!! I look over my left shoulder to find a blue car... right by my window. So I hopped out of the truck and surveyed the damage. Luckily the collision didn't do too much damage, just enough to ruin a good day. Needless to say, my driver's side door is dented pretty good. The guy exiting the spot had backed straight up into my door while I was passing. I'm not exactly sure how fast he backed up because I never did see him inch out before I "attempted" to pass. No one was hurt, so everything turned out okay. Now I just gotta get the truck back to herself. The first day back to college didn't turn out as expected, but such is life. Go ahead and share some of your stories!

 

Here's some pics if any of you are interested.

 

I was coyote hunting and trying to cross a field in about 10" of new snow. Not even a dimple in the snow and of course I'm looking for a coyote not a ditch...I did not find a coyote, however, and I hit a knee deep irrigation ditch and tore the front flares off. Managed to crack my fog light housing as well. Pics to follow.



Edit: This is the first try with the RR Ties. Had to build a bridge going forward to get out

 

Man, did you manage to get out by yourself?

 

Now that is a serious issue. Insurance claim filed??? I'm sure the owner is liable for damage to the shoes right?

 

I know right! People just need to watch what they are doing, even though that's wishful thinking.

 

With help from my dad (He of the "Don't worry theres nothing out here to hit") We wedged some RR Ties under the rear and she crawled right out...Still took a while...Worth the trip regardless

 

Paying attention to one's surroundings is way to difficult. Why would you do that??

 

I mean you didn't hit anything, you just tried to crawl into the wrong territory. All jokes aside, I'm glad you were able to get out. But the question is, did you get any coyotes?

 

That's true for sure! It could be way worse. I'm just glad it didn't get on the rockers.

 

We did end up with a pair of little coyotes. Ironically probably wouldn't have seen them had we been on schedule

Certainly the wrong territory...At least I hit a narrow point in the ditch. I've been back since and a hundred feet to either side would have been worse

 

I mean if I add enough armor I won't have to worry about the fender bender's anymore lol.

 

This is very true...

Also a good point...

 

^ wise man right there. I could deal with that dent for a while if it meant applying that $$$ towards my loan. Once you have it paid off faster you can save faster for other things, including that fix.

 

Yeah, the truck has been paid off.

 

True that. Every bit helps!

 

Came here for a country music thread.


Leaving disappointed.

Throw it in stocks! No time like the present

 

So you did report it?

I also was looking forward to a thread of how to make your tacoma a mobile parking lot party...

 

Yeah I reported it for sure. Have to go pick it up from Campus police later this week.
