Well Crap...

We manage to go almost 4 years and never have a single issue with anybody damaging the Navigator,and have only made it 3 weeks with this Excursion before the neighbor backs into it.





I'm more than just a bit irritated-it's the biggest darn SUV ever built,and her comment was that she just didn't see it.....

At least they're being decent about it-she's already called in the claim to the insurance company(we actually use the same insurance company), and I've already got a claim number and am just waiting on the adjuster to call me to schedule the meeting for pictures,etc,etc.
Hit by a rock that cracked the NEW windshield on the way to Colorado for the ski trip last week, and now this....

After they screwed so many people out of money after Katrina here in Mississippi, the insurance commish put the screws to them and now they will not write home insurance for the whole state. lol

Many people that I know dropped them after that even on auto insurance.

Sorry to hear this. Invest in a lift and they can just drive under it.

Yeah, it's getting an entire quarter panel-nothing else is acceptable. They're gonna look at it today and get the "official" estimate, then the adjuster will be meeting with me to look it over and pick up the estimate. It's not terrible,just looks like crap. Her car is surprisingly in good shape. She hit it backing out of her driveway at an angle and busted the tail light, popped loose the rear bumper cover and I'm sure bent the quarter panel and inner bumper braces, etc. Neither one looks to be too bad-I just wish she would have hit a "bolt on" body panel instead of a "fixed" panel.
