well, it was bound to happen eventually. After 135,000 miles and 7 years, I got hit yesterday :sadcry:

Not too bad damage, but annoying nonetheless. Any guesses on what the estimate will be? A fun game to play.

$2800. Good thing you're alright. That blows you have to see it everytime you get in.

Yeah, it could have been worse.

Everyone was fine. I was stopped by the time I got hit. She claims "I did not see you there".

OK

At least she was apologetic. Shit happens :smile:

I have video of it too, LOL. If I can clip it down I will post.

The Trailblazer went in Sunday night, and I picked it up this morning. All fixed!

The body shop ROCKS! State Farm sourced a used fender. I was OK with this, but when it arrived at the shop the body guy didn't like it. State Farm said he could get an aftermarket fender then. His words (to me) were..."I don't like aftermarket stuff. It never fits right, God knows where it was made, and it it takes more time to mess with it than it is worth, so I got a new GM fender. It's a little more, but I will eat the difference to put a quality part on there for you".
They washed the whole truck too. I guess most places would do this though

And since they also did an alignment, it rides SO much better!

This shop has integrity, and this is why they have been in business for 37 years.

Anyway, here are some awful pics from my I Phone :smile:

Great ti have it back! I had a Chrysler 200 for a rental. It got me where I needed to go, but I don't think I'd buy one.

I would like to see that when you have a chance to upload the clip.
