I decided to pick up a huge role of carpet that some lazy, POS, poorly raised a-hole dumped on the side of the road outside of where I live on the way to the gym since I have a fancy new pick-me-up truck. Figured I'd put it in the dumpster at my shop after I finish de-fatting. Had to leave the tailgate down to fit the role... figure no big deal. Come out of the gym with a note on my car... a lady backed into my tailgate. I parked in an area where there weren't parking spots right behind me... not on purpose but it's just where I always park. How this happened, I can only guess. Anyway, called her, she was nice and I thanked her for leaving a note.
She thought it was just the plastic cover but... unfortunately she dented the entire tailgate. What's extra annoying is that they'll have to replace this tailgate which means they'll have to replace the bedliner which may not match the factory bedliner.
I have had the truck for a month. Unbelievable...
Side story: since I've moved to Atlanta, my cars have been hit 8 times - all not my fault. I lost my Mustang due to someone sandwhiching me between his car and a semi truck trailer (and my dog was in the car). My Jetta was hit three times within the span of 6 months -- literally two days after I got the car back from the first repair, someone rear ended me. Both of my Silverados were damaged by hit-and-runs a couple times each (plus one of them got destroyed by hail). In the period I've been here I've gotten various beater cars out of frustration and even those have been hit. I do nothing abnormal. I swear Atlanta has the most inattentive drivers. One thing is for sure, I can't catch a break here when it comes to having a nice car and keeping it that way with a clean CarFax. It's unbelievable.
