UPS Truck vs. My new FR-S - Page 2 - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

Did anyone else think they were going to open this and see a race? lol

Sorry about the car though. That really sucks.

Holey crap. I feel bad for both of you. Unless he is a long time driver he is toast.

From the looks of it, I'd say you were in his blind spot. Probably just ahead of the right side mirrors. Our cars sit low and this is one of the dangers. I try and stay out of the side areas when at all possible.

Well if it makes you feel any better my ups driver at work is always joking around about crashing into one of our cars and yes they take accidents very seriously.

The good news is I think UPS has pretty solid insurance. Not the worst thing to hit you.

So true. On my test drive I was almost run into by a lane changing big rig.

UPS self insures. They have pretty deep pockets.

Yeah those UPS trucks have loads of torque off the line, but you'll take him for sure once you get to the twisties!

Oh wait...

Take the chance and do some mods while its in the garage! The body shop won't mind doing a couple of changes along the way since they're taking it apart anyways.

Sorry to see this though :/

milko002 · 03-04-2013, 09:36 PM

Sorry about your car. I was wondering how to take off the side mirrors. Now I know.

Dude, why are you tagging me bro?

You know how painful for me to see these threads? I TRY to keep far, far, FAR away from these kind of threads, cuz it brings tears to my eyes.

You know, I've heard a rumor that, if you get Tada-san's autograph item in the car, that curse will be lifted.
