A lady broke her car on my truck yesterday

[Lunartuna]

We were stopped on a long stretch of road waiting for oncoming traffic to clear so I could turn left.

All the sudden BOOM.



Little did she realize older Toyota Tacoma's are indestructible.



My girlfriend and I are pretty sore in the necks today but otherwise are ok.

Hope she has good insurance!

Edit: My girlfriend saw her coming in the side view mirror, probably going bout 60km/h. The speed limit is 50 there but everyone speeds on that road.

 ) Good job you're ok

Reminds me of that Top Gear where they try to destroy a toyota pickup (hilux I think) and that thing just keeps ploughing on

[esoomenona]

I would sue the crap out of you for having such a strong bumper and frame and damaging my car instead of having a softer frame and bumper and allowing your vehicle to cushion the impact.

[baldgye]

Love how your car is barely dented and hers is destroyed.

well softer frame and bumper is "safer" due to crumpling.

With such a damaged bumper, which is the pride of your truc for sure, I would declare it utterly destroyed and ask for a new one 

[baldgye]

Though now I know Canadians use KPH and not MPH

You know what Miles means? It means I have the freedom to choose to use numbers like 5280 and 12 to determine values instead of strict, unfree numbers like 10 and 1000. 'MURICA!

I always assumed Canada would sue MPH like the US... 60kph isn't too fast though... so im kinda surprised how ****ed her car is lol

[funkymeeba]

Meese per hour.

Yea, joy of being a "half-metric" country. People don't realize that if we changed to full metric, it would only take a little time before everyone would get used to it.

Instead, we are stuck using both and having to convert values all the time.

But keeping both must be a joy for tool sales lol. Still, we managed to crash a robot on mars because of a bad conversion a few years ago. These 4 billions wasted would have financed the change to metric system quite easily all around the world lol.

The Hilux and tacoma are same platform vehicles.

They even drove three to the north pole and one of them to the big volcano in Iceland after it erupted

Ironhide was GM wasn't it?

I just realized that no one asked if the lady was ok.

I must admit that I don't really care either haha!

So , back to more important things, will you fix the bumper?

[Lunartuna]

She seemed fine. She hopped out of her car and ran over to see if we were ok.

Yes I will be getting the bumper fixed. There is also some scratches in my tailgate as well from where her car puked out broken parts onto my truck. You can see them laying on the road in the first pic.

Edit: Actually looking again it was probably her hood that scratched my tailgate.

[baldgye]

what was she driving? I looks kinda like an old beemer but can't really make it out

Dude Victoria has THE WORST drivers. I'm dodging accidents all the time. Other times I'm watching them happen to other people. Unfortunately I didn't see this one coming at all.

Indeed but I'm sure he respects other trucks, too.

Had a girl run into me once, I was doing the max my little hatchback would do - 62 mph, and was in the slow lane.  Kept seeing lights in my mirror getting closer, closer, closer...  bam! 

She said she was looking for a cassette tape she'd dropped on the floor, didn't realize how fast she was going.  Yes, it was that long ago.

What's a cassette?  Is that like an eight-track for rich people?

pretty sure 8track cost more than cassette did..

but cassette sounded better because they improved it over time.

I guess I'm too young then.  Cassettes were ubiquitous in my youth while eight-tracks were uncommon and only seen by those who couldn't afford cassette decks or who only liked songs that were 20-30 years old.

Cassettes also didn't hang up mid-song.  Looking back, it's amazing how fast we went from cassettes and eight tracks to CDs to MP3 players for cars.

Wonder if it had "Corinthian Leather?"

Khaaaaaannnn!

Salt is their nemesis.
Toyota recalled a TON of Tacomas due to frame rust/cancer and was buying them back at up to 150% resale value.


I lost my Subaru in a similar accident. Waiting for a car in front of me to turn and the minivan behind me plowed right into the back and bent the body. Now, when I stop like that in the road, I hit the flashers to get peoples attention behind me.

[Lunartuna]

If the frame is bent and its written off I won't be happy. That truck was hard to find. It's the standard tranny 4x4 model with the big 2.7L 4 cyl. engine. I've driven that thing through and over some insane places.

[metalliqaz]

It's because truck bumpers are too friggin high.  Everyone and their cousin has decided they need a big ass truck now days, and that basic safety device (bumper) no longer works.  Car's headlights against a truck's bumper.

Hmm....  well, join the club then, buy an suv? bout $2000 increased expense in gas per year, but that's only if you buy something with 200+hp, anything less than that you're at $1000 increase.

or also, just buy a truck like 'merican

[Lunartuna]

[metalliqaz]

^ lol that's awesome.  I want that as a bumper sticker

If they total it, buy it back from them. It won't cost all too much, with any luck. Then find one that is easier, and swap the motor/tranny.

Kinda reminds me of this:

that might be an aftermarket bumper or no bumper, just some plastic parts.

Most bumper bars (aluminum bar underneath the bumper) don't extend all the way to the outter edge of the wheels, so the area the bike wheel hits is just hallow. You can see the square-ish hole made by the bumper bar where it ends. But the bumper must also be made of some kind of cheap plastic, cause a fiberglass bumper definitely would not have done that.

Doctor gave me until the 10th off work to start and some cyclobenzaprine, ketorolac tromethamine, and some dilaudid. Bye bye pain.

STFU!!!! HAHAHAHAHA!!!!

I Probably will not ever routinely drive anything other than a full size truck...convenience, practical, chick magnets, and as your pics show....much safer. Cheap insurance being the bigger of the two. He who is heaviest wins.

Preach it brother

[Trent]

DANG!  I had the same thing happen to me with my friend's Scion xD.

I had an Isuzu Rodeo at the time, my car was fine, her's was not.

[tipo33]

I also had a similar situation, I was driving a Volga GAZ-21 and he was driving a riced-out CRX.  At the end you could barely recognize his car as a Honda, and I needed some touch up paint.

[SmallFry]

Also another similar situation, bent the frame on my mother's F-150 while the Silverado that crashed into the rear was totaled due to the crumple zones. We were $100 from totalling the truck, but twas not.
