Incredibly pissed with something that happened today

[Highway 11]

The first one hurts. You'll have plenty more. Not worth starting a fight over - trucks come and go, family doesn't.

Man, I gotta be honest, this reads like you're a bit of a dick. It's a very tiny bump on a plastic part. You seemingly needing to point out that everyone is easy on him because of some undisclosed "mental growth issue" is even more outrageous. It's a vehicle, with damage that's not even as bad as accidentally loading a 2x4 wrong. The fact that you managed to make a scene large enough for a lot of family to come out is already not a good look. I would tell you to drop the whole thing and chuck it up to shit happens but something tells me you won't let it go.

Oh man…. I feel this.

Two quick stories.

A friend backed his Jeep into my Jeep. I did not see it but he told me about it. Initially, it did not look like ANY damage but actually it was pretty bad. Fortunately I was able to fix it with PDR and by re-aligning the door. Cost me about $250. Not a huge amount but still…. He offered to pay and asked how much. I refused and never told him or anyone else in the group what it cost. I also never mentioned it again. I was afraid the $250 might be an issue in the future for our friendship and it was not worth it to me.

I also bought my F150 in June of 24 and try to take exceptionally good care of it. I park as far away from everyone as I can. I, me, all by myself hit a pole and smashed up the passenger side. TALK ABOUT PISSED!!!!!!! I was furious at me and the whole situation. But…. I got it fixed. Yes, it cost $2,000 but it looks like new again and I have moved on.

Those are two very small marks. If you pay to fix them, there’s a great chance that something else will happen in the future so….

Man your last story reminds me of my dad years ago. He had just bought a 2009 Camry brand new as he had to commute into Boston. All of us kids and my mom are in the slider door at the house looking out at the back driveway. Suddenly he literally backed into the side of the camper. Tore down the side of the new freaking car.

We are all car people so it was painful to watch. He was livid and was so angry at himself. Luckily our uncle worked in auto body and was able to do it at his dealership and make it look new again. But wowser's, sometimes even the best of us create the damage ourselves lol. We laugh about it now but not a great time, ?

OP parked a foot in front of someone with “mental growth issues” on a grade that required a parking brake.

I hope they’re not hear looking for validation in getting reimbursed from the person who hit them, but something tells me you’re right.

Making a scene over that is pretty wild lol

 

[Snakebitten]

I gotta show mercy.
It's not easy though. ?

I'll give you it's a honeymoon period mishap, (new truck) and I'd be a big fat hypocrite if I pretended that I'm not overly protective of my "nice things". (Trucks and Cars qualify big time as nice things for me)

But having said all that, I hope some time in the future this thread is something you would like to just erase from.......... well..... History? ?

If that's what you read then maybe you are the dick. This is a large investment that I made after 18 years and have been maintaining it very carefully. This is also my first largest purchase and my first truck purchase. So any damage to it is sentimental. You should stop being so judgemental.

Maybe read the post again as to why I parked there. It was to give people the ability to enter the driveway easily. The truck behind me had sufficient space to back up.

The tiny marks in the plastic aren’t something worth making a big deal about let alone throwing a fit in front of your family.

It’s a truck. Let it go.

Yes. Just the sentimental value of a new vehicle purchase after 17 years and a first truck.

Sure but you’ve had it for a year.

I take care of my shit too, but my ‘23 got a scratch on the rear fender near the taillight at some point in the first few weeks of ownership. It happens.

And there were zero other places to park?

Is their truck manual? Heck, I’ve had my F150 shift several inches on a grade when already in drive, you knowingly parked 12 inches in front of someone you claim has “mental growth issues” on the downhill side of a grade that required a parking brake.

Do you park next to clapped at Nissans at Walmart with missing body panels too?

My man, you posted on an open internet forum. What did you expect to happen?

 

[mwheue]

Let it go... part is $102. Plus shipping at tasca if you really need to fix it.

Correct. No other place to park. Driveway was full. About four families and five cars were parked.
