Thanks! Sorry to hear about yours too. When I first got out of the truck the lady that hit me keys saying "I'm sorry, I didn't see you". It wasn't until her loser daughter and SIL took her inside and the daughter came out accusing me. At the time I think that upset me more because it was so obvious by the damage but it's done and over with and life goes on. ?

I've been waiting for Sids comment about the new truck going...??? :bandit:
Still working through so apologies for multiple replies, but on my last car I had a senile old lady smack my car in a parking lot at my marina. i was out on the water, no cars around me. I come back to load something in the car and there is a scrape down the side of my car and one car parked right next to me. I walked the dock asking if anyone had that car, etc. and no one fessed up.

Found them walking to the car half an hour later. It was an old lady, who was in a rental with her husband. They were fine (and I was not being aggressive), but insistent that she did not my car, and that it must have been pre-existing. I took out a tape measure and measured the height of the matching scrape on her car. The daughter and junkie son walk over, start getting incredibly defensive, screaming, etc. I just called the cops.

My favorite part? She had a rental because she had hit the garage with her car backing out and it was at the shop. She also told me, repeatedly, that her car with matching damage came that way from the shop and to check with them. I did check with them, they had no record of damage so in addition to eventually cutting me a check (rather than dealing with insurance), the rental place probably charged them for repairs.

Dang I'm late to the party as always. Why do these threads always kick off on a Friday night anyway!? Dave I'm glad you're ok and glad to see you're back in a gorgeous Ranger.


Just a shame it couldn't have been...

I went to the shop and stripped everything I could off Money Pit. The taillights were no where to be found so I'm guessing they're either inside the shop with the passengers door or they took them knowing the value. No biggie it would've just been nice to have a spare. So rear seat tilting headrests, hood bump stops and weather stripping, rocker plugs, engine cover, 2 bed tie downs (the others I couldn't get to because my plastic drop in liner was in the way) and all my accessories worth taking.

I had just done a full detail on it on Saturday 4/1/23 and this happened 3 days later. Now it looks like a pile of trash. :frown:

WOW Dave. I was super busy over the weekend and did not even have time to surf our forum. I am so glad you are Ok and found another rig. SAD your sweet looking Ranger was totaled and at such slow speeds. Well you know all of us on the 5G forum have missed you and are all here for you any time any day!!!!!
Thanks Mark! I just hope the new one is trouble free like this one was. Also thanks to everyone for all the support it REALLY does help a lot. No one knows us Ranger owners like we do! :rockon:

I beg to differ lol. White is pretty much the only color that visibly shows "industrial fallout", (it maybe called something else today) little rust colored specs that is easily removed by clay bar. I actually like white, but after my GTI, I probably wont ever get another white car. Seems like every couple of months I was having to clay the car due to it ?. But I'm also OCD so that might explain it too ?

Random pic for reference

I am so sorry to hear about your truck, and I am glad to see that you are okay.

It appears that you are buying an Oxford White Tremor. Is that correct?

Thanks Buddy! Yes it will be a white Tremor. :like:

Thanks Adam! I do really like blue but there was only one blue one I could find that had everything on it I wanted. But the ETA was late May and I need something sooner. Plus if it was delayed we'd have to cancel (or rent a car) for our June vacation.

You're really lucky you landed something on short notice. It will be a nice holdover while you figure out the Raptor situation. I think white is a fantastic choice - I am just a card carrying blue crew member and I saw the blue talk had started so I had to do it - I had to I tell you!

Honestly I'd be disappointed if the blue crew didn't chime in. ? I'm not sure of the day yet but we'll be heading through you neck of the woods on our way home from picking it up in WA. Hopefully in the next week or two the latest.

So glad you're OK Dave, been there, done that, also no injury's on either side. As a ex-LEO I can't stress enough the value of a dash cam in these cases, why I have front & rear cam's. Photo's of the crash site from all angles and the vehicles can go a long way in proving your case and speeding up the crash site resolution. Happy this all came out as you needed.
Thanks Jesse. I have/had a dash cam but it just died a few months ago. This darn heat destroys everything out here. ?

Long live the damper! 100,000 miles or bust. :rockon:
