So I'm sitting there eating lunch...

[rfuree11]

wow, that sucks.

If it makes you feel better, my mom's TL is going in for its third rear bumper next week. It got rearended for the second time a few weeks ago by a motorcycle. Needs a new trunklid, bumper, taillight and the exhaust system is tweaked.

Its only a 2003

 

[FROADER]

That sucks. I really like those TLs... a lot.

 

[jimbo74]

$2100! thats it? i got my truck totalled out and jsut got more than that for my truck... and looking at it, most people cant even see what the damage is.....

its the very bottom of the rollpan under the tailgate, see how the license plate is smashed under?

 

[FROADER]

My damage really isn't that bad. It looks worse than it really is. It looks so bad because the light is sticking out like it is.

That's the difference between a totaled '85 toyota pickup and replacing the front end of a '99.5 Audi A4...

 

[FROADER]

My rental... '05 Pacifica Touring. POS

 

[j602]

Sucks man, but you're right, I can tell it's not THAT bad. The headlight rapeage makes it looks worse.

That rental car is GHEY.

 

[FROADER]

That rental car is GHEY.

You're right, but it's a front wheel drive and it's a rental. some of you might remember the sticker I had on my old explorer at one time. "Drive it like you stole it..." Oh yeah!

 

[j602]

Hell yeah, rental = carnage! Dude, do the fast food tray trick!!!!

 

[FROADER]

Already did it. 2 trays per tire.

 

[j602]

Nice. Do it again and tape it.

 

[ryf]

I had an evil chevy impala, and a guy backed into it at my place of work, who didn't work there, looked about the same, the killer was the front bumper was $1300 bucks, the head light was $250, and it made me nuts to think about it, I witnessed it as well, and the guy was trying to leave, yeah, that was bad for him. I think the total bill for mine was around $2600, that doesn't include a weeks worth of rental car, so prolly around $3200 like bigdakota said.

 

[BeauJ]

Sorry to hear about your car. But haha at the rental. Get some video/pics of the tray slides

 

[410Fortune]

ahhh the Bronco II
Headlight $18
Grill: $35
Fender: $18 ea

hahahaha ok ok so its not funny......That rental looks WAY to pretty
When I was in CA I had one of my work buddies from our CO office out for a visit, he rented a full size Dodge 4x4, it had 130 miles on it when we took it up to Los Coyotes It did pretty well!

 

[FROADER]

This thing has 15,500 miles on it and the service needed light was on before I got it and they know that sooooo........

 

[hit_that]

Anyone care to explain this 'fast food tray' thing?

 

[FROADER]

Find a wide open area. with a front wheel drive car. put a tray infront of each rear tire on the ground. roll the rear tires on to the trays. set ebrake and go have some fun.

 

[bmxking5]

I DEMAND VIDEOS OF TRAY SLIDING IN THE RENTAL CAR!!!

 

[collkid]

Noooooo, I think he means that the van was the guy's company car.

OH, good i was abou to say, i'm in the wrong business...
