subihoot03 Posted May 9, 2008 Share Posted May 9, 2008 Had my 2003 Legacy parked overnight a couple nights ago and came back to this sight in the A.M...insurance info left in the windshield and an explanation that the driver didn't see the car when he backed up his trailer into it. D'OH! Poor Subi.......... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rverdoold Posted May 9, 2008 Share Posted May 9, 2008 Sorry to hear, but not beyond repair. Damage is the biggest worry of each car owner (and insurance company). he didnt see it, well its quite camouflaged on the road though. Hope you will have it all sorted out soon, insurance is usually a horror to deal with. You were more lucky than a man yesterday here in holland. An minivan with an overloaded trailer (old american station car 2 tons orso), the trailer got sucked by the gust of a passing truck from oposite direction. The trailer went straight trough the car driving behind the truck. The car just looked like a opened can. The poor man did not make it.

Cars unforunately are not indistructable...nor is the cargo they carry...Yeah, I will count my blessings on this one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bheinen74 Posted May 9, 2008 Share Posted May 9, 2008 if it got any or combo of the roof, A pil, or B pil, or lower rocker it could almost be a total. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The cell phone camera pictures DO NOT do this damage justice - it is UGLY. Cosmetic damage to A-pillar at least. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oregon_Legacy Posted May 9, 2008 Share Posted May 9, 2008 It is a shame to look at in the pictures. Man, everyone is getting hit. Hopefully yours can be fixed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dude Posted May 9, 2008 Share Posted May 9, 2008 A horrible sight indeed. The person who hit your beloved Suby may be a lousy driver but at least he is honest. Try not to be too hard on him, honesty and integrity should always be encouraged. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Try not to be too hard on him, honesty and integrity should always be encouraged. I told him that I was glad he'd left the info - especially with it being at night. Honesty IS a blessing these days! I am bummed out, but not angry in the slightest - this is nothing insurance can't fix. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oregon_Legacy Posted May 9, 2008 Share Posted May 9, 2008 me too...I wish people were more considerate of leaving information if they hit private property. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frag Posted May 11, 2008 Share Posted May 11, 2008 I put some scratches on the right rear fender and rear passenger door of a very clean grey Civic more than a week ago (please dont ask me how). I left a very visible note (8.5 X 11) on his (her?) windshield with my adress and phone number. Then I called my insurance and gave them all the details I could gather (licence number, etc.). Two hours later, I had to go out and saw that the Civic was no longer there. The driver never called me!!!!!! Maybe there's a God for honest people...

Setright Posted May 12, 2008 Share Posted May 12, 2008 Strange init? I've left a note because I dented a license plate on a car parked behind me - I was in a borrowed car, and I'm not used to leaving room for a hitch. Never heard anything. Sorry about the damage, subi :-\ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
