got to ride the ski for about 20 min then the battery died, so we thought. Got a new battery, and turns out the charging system is done, so it sat on the trailer for 3 days.

parked next to my brother in laws lifted F250, think its got like a 10" lift on it sittin on 20's with 36" tires, he was dropping off the boat, i was dropping off the ski, he backed up to the garage, i pulled straight in. Dropped the ski, got in the jeep started it and was about to leave and forgot to do something. Left it running, got out went and moved our generator, came back jumped in and backed out......right into his damn door! He had come outside and opened his door, and left it open and went off somewhere. My parking assist was diabled since pulling the ski, and his truck sits so high, didnt even see the damn door, it was hidden by the corner of the jeep. I seriously almost cried. His truck door bent backward, we had to hammer part of it down just to close the door. I felt like sh!t for hitting his truck, its just as nice as my jeep, and felt even worse for putting a big a$$ dent in my ride. not really an accident i guess, but it's the first i've ever had. i'm still pissed off today and frustrated as hell.

Dang I thought I was looking at Usher for a mintue

hahaha thanks for laugh... i needed that today

just got off the phone with insurance co, should be calling me back later today with more info.

:( sorry to hear this. I hate reading stories like this :(

Oh Oh, Oh Oh, Oh Oh Oh My Gosh!!!!

Yea that sucks dude. hope its and easy fix.

well stopped at a body shop on the way home yesterdsy. Buddy of mine works there. Quick "eye" quote from the owner was $4500.... OUCH! Here are some numbers i found for parts. Rear qtr panel aftermarket, $900, rear bumper, primed $400,or painted and clear coated $900. so over $2000 for paint and labor. Bumper i could do myself. Its only a few screws and clips. But the rear qtr panel is welded in. My issue is, i want the paint to match. New paint vs paint that is 5 years old will never match. Wonder if ins will cover a full paint job!?

Ahh man that sucks! I know how you feel bro, one monday morning I got to the yard and parked my 07 sti in front of my big truck, got out started the truck and jumped back in the car to pull away and park it behind my truck. Well my phone rang as I got back in my car and my boss/dad asked me to check something at the back of the truck so I did. Without thinking I jumped into my truck after checking the back and started to drive away and bang! Smoked the sti it was a rough morning, but bought my srt a week later and it cured the pain lol. As for going through insurance, I didn't. My age would have killed me with a 4000$ insurance fix so I just paid for it myself. All the best bro cheer up it's only a dent :p

anyone know if a 06 grand cherokee rear qtr panel will fit? or is the srt8 model a lil different? i called the dealer and she gave me a part number based off my VIN, and its only $380.... when i looked it up on google, it was $800.... somethin ain't right.

Most good shops can match any paint. They have a system to match the fade.

That sucks man.... sorry to hear that. No pics of the Ford?:D

yeah i know they can blend it, thats what the shop told me. and no one else my notice, but unless its REALLY close, i'll notice it.

naw no pics. i'll have to get some this weekend if i can. he is supposed to drop his truck off tomorrow to get fixed so we'll see.

That is pain on so many levels! Sorry about your accident. Doesn't it always sting that much more if it's your fault?

yeah it sucks A$$!! all my friends and family keep callin to make sure i'm ok.... not cuz i was in an accident, cuz they know how much i love my damn jeep! took alot for me not to blow up when it happened. Maybe cuz i **** up my brothers truck too.
