FML - Goddamed tweakers & cell phones

Here's what a tweaker with NO job and NO insurance texting on a ****** f*cking phone did to the rear of my truck while stopped at a stoplight, for which he was heads down and failed to apply brakes from 30 mph:


...And this is what he did to his car, including taking an airbag to the chest:


He didn't get a chance to flee the scene...


And I called the Po-Po to have him checked out, since he had no ID. ******* tweakers.

Truck is in the shop already and fully covered by insurance. Took it to the best quality place I could find. Quote for my truck is over $4.7k. His car (2000 Ford ******) is a total.

You could live in Florida, a "no fault" state where even if they have insurance they probably don't have enough coverage to cover any damage. That sucks man!

Make sure to get an independent diminished value estimate after the repairs are done. My wife's E550 got tagged at a Starbucks by a teenage texter and we had the repair done at the best shop in town, and I then paid $375 to an independent adjuster to build me a diminished value assessment of the car, and Allstate ended up writing me a check for $2269 on top of the $4k repair for me to pocket. great return on a 375 investment.

^Great info. Ducatisps. Didn't even know about that....Thanks, Man...

Excellent advice right there. I had over 15K damage on my previous truck and with my diminished value report in hand I made that ******* little lizard(Gecko) shuck out 7,200 bucks. Texter of course running about 60 and never looked up or put on brakes. Nice little downpayment for the Raptor.

Sucks man. Hope that airbag taught him a lesson.

Good to know about the adjusted value.

That sucks man. Hopefully the raptor is back on its feet soon.

What's the difference between a crackhead and a tweaker?
The crackhead will steal your shit and bounce--the tweaker will steal your shit and then help you look for it.

Just a shame. A great looking truck screwed up by some ass hole... When you get it repaired I would think about getting a "SpareBumper". They are good for 30 plus miles per hour. Here is what one looks like on my truck...



It certainly will give you peace of mind... Good luck...
