Silverado 1 Subaru 0

BlenderWizard · #1 11-23-2006, 07:46 AM

I was backing out of a parking space yesterday and there was a Subaru outback below my tailgate that I couldn't/didn't see. I hit it. Zero damage to my truck (not even a scuff) but I f'd his bumper up. No citation because it was private property. My insurance will pay for his damage.

WOOT! Silverado is still king!

Never seen someone so happy to get in a fender bender.

I could not agree more

Hehe... it did nothing to my truck, and my insurance is going to pay for it. Might cost me $1 extra a month.

Before I opened this thread I expected to read something along the lines of a race kill.

Kinda disappointed now...

I think that it's funny, damn little cars need to get out of our way.

Greetings Blender,
Based on your statement - I think you might be surprised to find out that it is likely your insurance will increase between 12% and 15%. The amount of damage is less of a concern to the insurance comany - as it is the type of damage - the car wasn't moving - simply parked. Insurance companies normally consider this as "inattentive risks without cause" and its a red flag to them because its hard for them to understand how you wouldn't have seen a car before you got in your truck (much less before you started to back up). Expect to see considerably more than $1 as your future premium increase if my past experiences hold true.

I agree. Here in NY you'd definitely see a big increase!

Nope, the car was moving, and I've had this situation happen before. It wasn't there when I got in the truck, nor was it there when I checked my mirrors before I put it in reverse.

I do not beleive I will see a significant change in my premiums, but only time will tell.

I love how people like to make assumptions on the internet

Maybe if you told the whole story people wouldn't have to...Hey, did you sell your PS3 yet? That certainly has a place here in the truck forum.

now that you mention it I myself was thinking the same before I opened the thread , which leads me to this question..... Can a Sliverado beat a Subaru???

I put all pertinent info in my first post. If someone's unclear on something, ask before you assume, that's all I was saying.

No, the PS3 auction is not over yet; in fact, I changed so much stuff on the auction, I had to just go ahead and re-list it.

Since you brought it up, here's the new link:
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...m=290055144013

As far as this not being the place to sell it, well, I don't see that the silverado section is divided up into subcategories, so you'll just have to deal with that.

I dunno about a WRX, but I know I coulda spanked the one I bumped bumpers with... It was a mid-90's Outback.
