    FLEX got rearended AGAIN today

    Nobody hurt, but this is the second time Sherry has gotten rearended at almost the same spot in the same road.  First time wiped out everything UNDER the bumper, including the bumper.  This time it was an F-150 so it got the bumper and everything above the bumper.  It's back to the body shop again...

    Once it gets fixed, I think I might get rid of it.  Must be bad luck.  What she needs is a BRIGHT GREEN BOSS 302, so she can be seen, but I really doubt I could talk her into getting "her" one.

    Money you enjoy wasting is NOT wasted money... unless your wife finds out.

    That's horrible she got rearended make sure to get checked out. I got rearended in my 85k10 pick up. I was at a dead stop she hit me going 60 in a area where the speed limit is 35. She hit me so hard it went under my truck up off the ground my rear end was on her motor. I had to pop into four wheel to get off. She was in a honda my truck only got a fifty cent size dent in the bumper ha ha her honda didn't make it

    Glad to hear she is OK Steve. I don't know why women can't get simple logic, what would make more sence than a BRIGHT GREEN BOSS 302?

    If this forum can't fix it, it isn't broke.

    Re: FLEX got rearended AGAIN today

    I'm beginning to wonder about the drivers in Texas, the Flex hit twice, your Mustang hit, Ramses car hit, and wasn't Tubo in Texas when he had his accident. I'll be a little nervous if I ever get down there.

    I'm really sorry  to hear that, Steve, sure hope she's okay.  I know I don't have to tell you but don't sign any releases 'till it's all over and she's had a while to feel the result of the hit.

    Damn...I  guess that isn't why it's called  a "Flex".

    Glad to hear no one was hurt. That part of the road may be the bad luck spot, is an alternate route an option?

    Sorry to  hear about that.  Glad she is ok.  I agree with bulletbirdman, bad driving and  bad drivers are everywhere.  People put themselves on autopilot when they drive. They zone out.  I had a lady pass me this morning on a On Ramp to the highway, it was 7am, it was dark still, and she didn't have any headlights. 

    GET HER DONE BULLETBOB!!! ..

    Re: FLEX got rearended AGAIN today

    Must be something in the air. One of our big box trucks we use to run parts from our warehouse and Boeing got rear ended yesterday. The lady was on her cell phone, and buried her Honda under the lift gate on the truck almost clear up to her windshield.

    Glad Sherry is okay, and that she wasn't driving the '66 or the '07.
