I've had my beautiful orange Fit for about 2 weeks now. Go out to town to go to Walmart with hubby...drivin' along drivin' along...I see a pickup truck start to back out across both lanes out of his driveway...I slow down a bit figuring he'd see me and of course stop backing out. Nah...that would make too much sense. No where for me to go, so he crunched into me. Of course he had minimal damage to his back corner bumper, which dug in and dragged the entire way across my shiny new Fit. Sigh

Pictures are not for the faint of heart...

Needless to say I'm bummed. Anyone else that has had damage had a long wait to get it fixed? I'm worried about the time...I'm guessing all the parts will come from Japan...which means long wait. Sigh Sigh Sigh.

 

:-(

We'll get it fixed soon. Do not despair.

 

aww, i'm sorry to hear what happened. i remember you were so excited when u first got it. i hope it gets fixed soon. the damages looks so bad

 

i think there was a thread created by some guy who witnessed a fellow fit get into an accident on the highway because of some truck
was that you?
sorry.. hope you can get compensated in some way

 

Sorry to hear what happen......

 

OMFG!!! Hope he has insurance! :P

 

nah this just happened this evening

 

why are all the fits dying and getting hurt! poor poor fits

 

Man that truck must have backed out quite fast. That sucks.

 

be thankful you were hit by a truck and not a car, the car would have hit your fit low enough to cause damage to the subframe, and not just the doors and the B pillar

 

Damn now that really sucks... Sorry to hear and see...

 

Nooo!!! Well.. at least u're not at fault and things should be covered!
Maybe you can get turn signal side mirrors!

But sorry to hear bout the accident.. hope everything goes well!

Damn that sucks!

Here's hoping the shop doing the repairs isn't a bondo slinging hacker. I've seen some really crappy work come back from the local dealerships.

I was told my GS-R with twisted frame and some serious damage would need 2 weeks before going into paint, your Fit will likely be in a body shop for about a week, as long as they order the parts first.

Best of luck getting it fixed by a skilled shop.

 

wow that sucks sorry... hope the parts will make it here faster than the car itself

 

AAAARRRRGGGGHHHH! what a bummer!

Hope you didn't get hurt and your baby gets put back into Fit shape.

 

Wow... glad you're okay!

Did any of the side airbags deploy?

 

Would they deploy? It didn't look like a high speed incident.

 

Owwww... those pics are painful! Hope it's all fixed quickly.

 

That totally sucks! Sorry to hear about the accident.

 

makes me want to be more careful when i drive...never assume just see it b4 it happens...now you know for the next time that there are idiots out there that will not see an orange car...sorry to hear that sweety
