Default My poor baby!

All pretty cosmetic. Hard to see but the grill is cracked right under the Ford emblem, the emblem itself is scratched to hell.

I was pulling out of a gas station and the lady in a Camary had her signal on and started to make the turn into station then decided she wanted to go straight, I was moving out to go left. I saw her and stopped but her passenger side swiped across the front of my truck.

Oh well, it will be fixed and this time I will get 3m bra for front bumper, there were so many rock chips!

I've made the mistake of assuming that someone's turn signal being on actually means they're going to be turning. Almost been in a couple accidents for assuming. Now I ALWAYS wait for them to make the actual turn. People are stupid. Easily fixable though.

Yep, should have just waited! Another bonus is that being a Firefighter got me out of a ticket. Lol

Yep, is what it is. It's still drivable, I have great insurance with $100 deductible with rental car allowance, so it will be two weeks driving something else and then I get to fall in live with her all over again! Lol

Ah ***** man! That sucks! Good to see its minor. I'd use this opportunity to get an fx 6 bar grille, if i were you, haha! Along with bed liners, I also do the 3m spray films. They work well. I almost would just want to use it as clear on bumpers!

Same thing almost happened to me there other day. Lady put her turn signal on to turn into the rd I was on, I started to pull out and she just went straight. Swerved and beeped, I stopped early enough there wouldn't have been a collision even if she didn't swerve but even so, i watched her turn her signal on and she just proceeded like she never did all while turn signal still flashing...Crazy drivers.

On another note. Glad its minor and extremely fixable and you get to rip in a rental! Have fun man!

That sucks. I've had many instances where people have turned on their signal to turn, and then turned it off and went straight. I lay on the horn, but it is what it is. Now I wait for them to start turning, then go. People honk at me more often times than not, but I don't want stupid people screwing my stuff up.
