my truck was vandalized a few weeks ago and needed the passenger door repainted. i got it back yesterday.
today i was heading out of the coldisac and passing a row of parked cars. one of the cars was aparently occupied and the girl flung her door open into my truck (which was doing a grand total of 10-15 mph). the door struck my fender, got wedged between the fender/door seem and flipped backwards crumpling the fender, and gouging the newly repainted door. Tupperware and my rear view was totally ripped off and the cars stopped in such a way i had to drive forward to clear the scene, further gouging the paint all the way to the tail lamp.
girl stated it was her fault, but her dad came out of the house, called the cops and instructed her to tell them i drove into her. since the first strike of the door was PAST my front axle, i' don't see how i could have avoided the accident.
Anyway, damages are probably going to be in th 1000-2000 range. i was just about to lift the rig too.
