UPS Truck vs. My new FR-S
Well after owning my baby for just under a month, a ups truck decided to plow into the side of me today. He told me he never saw my car... you know, its not bright fucking red or anything. I feel like I just lost my best friend
The damage (sorry if these pictures are huge): The damage to his truck: |

Wow, what do you use to dress your tires?
oh, and sorry for your loss! I hope insurance makes it quick and painless! It all looks cosmetic, which is good!

Ouch, and a P1000 too. Those things are big. If it is any consolation, the driver will be reprimanded without mercy...may even lose his job. Sorry to see this happen to you.

Target fixation. Maybe he was paying too much attention to your car.
That sucks. |

I manage a Waterway location and we use Armorall Professional High-Shine Tire gloss. It looks great for the first two days (I had washed it about twenty minutes prior to this accident) but it wears off pretty quickly.
And yeah Progressive has been nothing but helpful throughout this whole process so far. |

Neither will UPS. They take accidents very seriously. Edit: Let us know how this works out for you.

He didn't see your bright red FRS? Bullshit, they sit up high in that truck so they see damn near everything.

wow that sucks..sorry to see that happen... UPS better delivery you a new one..
front fender/door can be swapped out but the rear fender thats going to be a pain to fix.. maybe could of warp the roof/hood/trunk a bit too.. i always park away from others or far from trucks driving by.. so UPS is going to fix it? or get a new one sucks to drive a rental.. as long as no one got hurt its all good |

Progressive is having me take care of it under my insurance so i can get i fixed/replaced immediately, because they said UPS is a PITA to deal with and it usually takes months to have them take care of it. I just want my car back asap and then when UPS gets their shit together ill get reimbursed for my deductable.
