Question My poor car....

Okay, I got up this morning and decided I was going to clean out some old clothes from my closet and send them to Salvation Army. I packed all of my old clothes, marked the bags and I was on my way.

I arrived at the Salvation Army and was told to take my clothes to the back of the building. I then dropped off the clothes and had to find the security guard so that I can get a recepit for my donations. While I was filling out my info, my Clifford Car Pager started vibrating along with the piercing of my alarm screaming at the top of it's lungs.

Immediately, I run towards my car and find a truck has rear ended my baby!

Sorry for the long spout, for a second, I was a bit peeved. Then I came back to my senses realized that it was an accident.

The guy had insurance, and I'm on the phone with his insurance company filing a claim now.

Stuff Happens unfortunately, this time, it was my car.

I have damage on my door(obviously), fender, mirror and there is a dent on my A-Pillar from where my mirror hit it.

Wow, our car is tiny compared to that dodge. I think he was using his rear-view when backing up. Probably didn't even see your car.

I don't get people who feel the need to back into spaces!!! Is there some compelling reason that they can't just pull into a parking spot!!

yeah, the guy said he didn't see me, I don't know how...if you use your mirrors.

I'm curious how are they going to repair the damages on the seamline in the door or the A-Pillar...

You either have to back in or back out. Unless you find that elusive pull through. Sorry to hear about your car. Hope it gets fixed soon.
