The neighbor kids were out playing football and mistook Victoria for a tackle dummy. I'm disappointed, but the kids were really upset, and immediately took responsibility and are going to cover the cost of the repair (the parents are). The kid that hit her, evidently he turned the wrong way on a post route, is fortunately ok. He's gonna be one tough receiver.

Ouch. I'd start with a reputable paintless dent removal company to start. Not sure how the aluminum held up, it doesn't take kindly to such creases.

Better a kid than a 200lb Iowa corn-fed buck! I needed a new hood, front fender, and driver door skin. Around $8k but thankfully insurance took care of it. Hope your repair is quick and much cheaper.

Sorry the airbags deployed and she's totalled. jk

Id loose it if kids were throwing a ball around my car/house. The house is damn near made of cardboard and the truck costs more than what a family that qualifies for daycare assistance makes in a year.

Interesting on the cost for RY55. I was mortified when I JUST found out that my insurance for the Lightning is $1000 a year more than an ICE F-150. When I added it in August 2023, it was $240 a year more. I don’t want to think about a premium jump with any type of claim. And our record is impeccable.

When I was about 10 years old me and my friend were throwing large rocks up in the air (to see how high we could get them). I threw a big one and it landed on the hood of a brand new Yukon Denali……..we were out of state on an 6-wheeler trip and I was crying when I saw what I did :ROFLMAO: . My dad made me wait for the owner and he was the nicest guy ever and refused to take my dads money (my dad was trying to give him the $1200 or so cash he had in his pocket). Said that’s why he pays insurance. That experience reminds me when kids have damaged my stuff that they are learning the world around them.

Granted, this is a lot larger than the little dent I left lol. This is a full blown cave in! Glad your neighbor is paying for it. Sounds like the both of you are understanding/good folks.

I told the kid's dad that I did the same thing when I was little. Only I hit a baseball into the side of a Camaro. Life happens...
