Decided to take the RAM through the carwash yesterday afternoon. Was doing some pre-washing when out of nowhere I hear a loud "CRUNCH" and noticed my truck rocking. Looked up and a dude in a black F150 had backed into the corner of my passenger side rear bumper with his draw bar receiver. He sat there for about 5-10 seconds then hauled @ss out of the parking lot roasting his tires. I was trying to memorize his tag number in case he didn't come back. Waited around a few minutes debating on whether or not to was the truck and he pulls back in. I throw my arms up in the air like WTF. He gets out and is all apologetic saying that the carwash folks pissed him off and told him that they couldn't wash his truck due to having loose items in the bed of his truck. So he backed into me by mistake leaving. We swapped insurance info and I told him since he's at fault to call in to the local PD and file an accident report. So he does so and was all chatty Cathy while we were waiting on the cops to show. I told him "Dude, I'm pretty pissed so it might be best if you go wait in your truck and I'll wait over here by mine". Bumper got pushed into rear body panel, creased the panel and broke paint off down to primer. The tread plate on the bumper is broke along with some mounting brackets underneath resulting in it being pretty loose on that corner. Can't have nothing nice anymore I guess due to folks negligence. It's minimal damage I know, but it still pisses me off something fierce. His insurance company has contacted me and set up the appraisal and offered a rental while truck is in the shop and allowed me to use the body shop of my choosing. My preferred shop is backed up until late August, but that date could change based on availability of parts and amount of work that needs to be done. Watch out for idiots, they are everywhere.
. Still sucks that it happened to you though
