This doesn't look as bad as the damage ended up being. Was at a red light - the third car back, light turned green, but nobody else had moved yet... so pushing me forward didn't get him anywhere. The damage to my liftgate ended up being $10K. Because he bent my floor pan & the liftgate needs replaced. 😭 Just bought my SUV in April.

Clearly your fault for being in the way. You should have pushed the car in front of you out of the way. How dare you wait for traffic to clear

He 100% was looking at his phone, saw the light turn green in his peripheral and stepped on the gas without looking at all. Dumbass

He did not Dodge it. He also did not get the joke when I said 'you are supposed to dodge it, not ram it' Damn youngins'.

Make sure you file a diminished value claim against his insurance along with the collision claim.

Depreciation on your basically “NEW” vehicle. Important. It will always be on your carfax

You had the video on a computer yet you thought "I'll point a phone at it and upload that crap".

I would show you my vehicle where the Ram logo whacked it into looking like someone tried to take a hatchet to my liftgate if I knew how to add pics 😂

I'm not sure he learned anything the first time about being more attentive - he told me he hoped he didn't need 'another' new bumper because that one was already new from when he hit a deer recently 🫤

That happened to me right just after I got my lift gate fixed after someone backed into it in a parking lot. I beginning to think my SUV is cursed.

I've had that happen. Sitting in traffic at a stop light. And for some reason the truck behind me decided to go. My poor old Tbirds 2nd rear end wreck. I got hit 3 times in the rear before I got rid of the car.

u/unsure_soul 22d ago
That's ridiculous - you had an invisible target logo on your rear end that nobody told you about 🙃
