I feel your pain the third week of owning my XV I was reversing and this your 5 foot nothing college girl punches the gas on her 04 F150 that is literally i kid you not bigger than my car the top of her truck bed is as tall as the TRek. so her trailer hitch hits the bottom left panel on the back of my car. Thankfully it didnt have the ball on it but its been 3 months and my insurance company cant get a hold of her so i dunno wtf. Im pissed cause by law since we were both backing up we are both at fault even with my back up camera and my wife watching for oncomming traffic. :-\readyami said:I make my husband and daughter crazy by parking in the hinterlands LOL! I was forced off the road a couple weeks ago and scraped some branches...the scratches are less noticeable after a few waxes, but I can still see them. Those first dings and scratches are the WORST!
That's a crappy situation to be in. Sometimes laws like that really screw over innocent people, no matter what the intention of putting them into place was.suuichi said:I feel your pain the third week of owning my XV I was reversing and this your 5 foot nothing college girl punches the gas on her 04 F150 that is literally i kid you not bigger than my car the top of her truck bed is as tall as the TRek. so her trailer hitch hits the bottom left panel on the back of my car.

It went under the bumper, so didn't hurt the support or the frame. Only the bumper cover and the muffler gor wasted. Still, 2600 and some in damages. Now I have to fight for lowered value and other things with the insurance.AlexAlejan said:Ugh. It looks like the other car got took most of the punishment there- how bad was the damage to the crosstrek?
