Default Got ran up the *** AGAIN

you guessed it.

Just got my car back from the smash repairer a month ago from where a women ran up my *** in a little hyundai excel doing 60kph. Done $12,000 damage, and insurance nearly wrote it off.

Anyways had my car back for a month, and i was parked at work yesterday when i see a 4wd drive in and looks like hes gonna park next to my car. It was only at that point i realised that NO ONE WAS DRIVING the 4wd. I ran outside just in time to see the 4wd roll into my falcon at about 25kph. Because it was wet it pushed the *** of my car around about a meter and almost colided with mates ute parked next to mine.

I couldnt believe my luck, just get it back from smash repairer and now its back in again.

Only $800 damage this time though. Heres some pictures of both times i got hit.

Poor Bugger, I feel for you. Makes you wonder sometimes why people don't secure their car properly? :(

Allways the way !

whenever a car is like new, it seems to be almost inevitable it cops a beating pretty quick , yet you can own a dump and it never gets anymore marks than what it allready has ...lol , thats been my case almost all of my life anyway! .

Poor bugger, I hope your car still handles the same after all the bashings its had .

I reckon you guys are right lol. The 4wd driver was across the road at the butcher buying a knife. I nearly stabbed him with the thing when he did it :-)

James22, when you had your first "big" repair job did they get the car "straight" for you. I remember after a shunt my old XF came back repaired but with panels not flush and not spaced properly.

yeah they put it on some straightning machine. After the first incident it bent the sub-frame real bad, thats why it cost so much to fix but all my guards, panels, doors etc line up like new now. Well they did anyway.

Mate i know how you feel last year i was rear ended in annandale by a young bloke not watching the road his response was simular to BJ's only this time i floored this guy with a right hook.

Then a few weeks back my missus was in liverpool hospital fora operation only to notice when i came outside one night to find my rear had been hit again.

I cant wait till i move to Bethania in november then ill take the coon off the road and get it resprayed.

They do come in three's, my missus was rear ended twice when she got her licence, within 2 week's off each other, and then just last easter I was rear ended at 70klm straight into the back, he didn't even brake, the little Laser was a write off, touch wood we will no longer be involved in rear end coloision's, it's not a nice feeling.
