Default Got in an Accident.***Page 6 update 15 OCT***:( PICS

Well, I was sitting in a left turn lane. A toyota tundra in front of me had his RIGHT turn signal on and was trying to get over. He had NO cars in front of him and we were 100 feet from the red light. Well instead of just merging over, HE PUTS IT IN REVERSE!!!

I was a cars length behind him. I saw the lights come on. Looked in my rearview and had a SUV behind me. So I couldnt back up. I was steady on the horn and he kept coming FAST!!

Slammed into me HARD.
I got out of the car and he started to. He had it in gear and the truck was going forawrd. he had to hop back in. I WAS ____ED. Almost hit him but realized that is dumb.

Cops come and he tells them the truth. No written statements, no tickets NOTHING. It was to easy. So the guy owns his own body shop. I said " No its going to my body man" Turns out they know each other. I had them come and tow it and itlooks like he will try and poay cash. Expecting around $5,000-$7000 in damage. Plus rental car.

Shattered the headlight, crushed the hood, the fender and destroyed the front end. Ruined the grill. Pushed the fender into the door. Pushed the fan into the engine/supercharger. bent the rail on the left, pushed the coolant tank into the brake tank, ruined the radiator cooling plate and the fan and all.

here are the pictures:
looks worse in person. only had my Cell phone, so not the best pics:

L.A. drivers are worse than Virginia. Over here half of the drivers are illegal aliens with no license, id, insurance and doesn't speak a damn word of English.

OHhH that EVIL trailer hitch. I can't say theres anything that scares me more than sliding to a stop (yay winter + stop lights on hills) behind one of those EVIL trailer hitches. People here leave them on in the winter just for that purpose.

Thats the funny part. I was sitting behind him for 4-5 minutes. And I saw this huge trailer hitch, and when he hit his reverse lights, I thought about that thing.

Yeah.
If it was the new Tundra, he probably would of seen you in his rear back up camera. BTW it's an option for the 08' Tundra. Every full size truck needs to have it standard.
