c-lo Posted December 17, 2009 Share Posted December 17, 2009 least they are towing it properly. I'd have requested a flat bed. 258k miles - Stock engine/minor suspension upgrades/original shocks/rear struts replaced at 222k/4 passenger side wheel bearings/3 clutches/1 radiator/3 turbos Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

timmafod Posted December 17, 2009 Share Posted December 17, 2009 How'd they get both sides of your car? Yeah what he said. That sucks soooo bad, I feel for ya. How's the insurance handling it? I'm 2 months into attempting to get my old subaru fixed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigbad20 Posted December 18, 2009 Author Share Posted December 18, 2009 After about two weeks of waiting for the insurance company to do their job they finally had the car picked up. The work was done at Higgans Auto Body (they did an amazing job btw). Here is the list of repairs: New Passanger and Driver Front Doors New Passanger and Driver Front Fenders Repaired Driver and Passanger Rear Doors Repaired Front Bumber Oh and Paint on all those plus they painted the hood as well(even though there was no damage to it) Total cost was in the neighborhood of 6000 dollars. Will post pics when i can take some decent ones... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
E-Tank Posted December 18, 2009 Share Posted December 18, 2009 Still never told us how it happened... That sucks. Hopefully when it's all fixed it'll stay pretty for a while. I dented my passenger side after having the car for 2 months. Still haven't fixed it. I'm sacred that the second I shell out the money, I'll get another dent. Whatevs, they're only things. Can't put too much stock in material bs anyway... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bigbad20 Posted December 18, 2009 Author Share Posted December 18, 2009 It was a chilly morning in late fall, and I was running a bit later than usual. With a cigarette in my hand and determination in my heart I set out for work on my normal route. Bangerter Highway to 7800 south, then east to the Redwood Road. I was making pretty good time, and then that’s when it happened. I started to turn off of Bangerter on to 7800 S. from the inside-turning lane, and this nob driving a dodge 2500 extended cab long bed pickup pulling a trailer (he was in the outside-turning lane) just decided to mosy on into my lane and sandwich me between his trailer and a qwest van that was in the turning lane on 7800 S. (turning left onto bangerter). “Oh, I’m so sorry. I don’t know what happened. I guess I just wasn’t paying attention.” = f@%^ing Retard! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let the trailer douche's insurance pay for it. I'll be happy when you post pics of her looking all clean and fixed and sh**. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tdoggydog Posted December 19, 2009 Share Posted December 19, 2009 Whenever a Subie is towed, it needs to be on a flat bed. Dollies are not good for any length of time as, from my understanding, it can still potentially damange the diffs. As a matter of fact, keep that picture on hand in case you get your car back and something is wrong with the AWD. The tow company would be responsible for the damage, and you've got the photo to prove it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ehsnils Posted December 19, 2009 Share Posted December 19, 2009 Only way that will happen is if you use a dolly for just one wheel pair and the other on the ground. Or if the car jumps the dolly, but that will cause other damages too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tdoggydog Posted December 19, 2009 Share Posted December 19, 2009 Don't shoot the messenger - I've just read multiple posts online here over the years from owners saying that dollies should never be used in any circumstances. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ehsnils Posted December 19, 2009 Share Posted December 19, 2009 That is for dollies that you use behind normal cars where the other pair of wheels are on the ground. This one is bad for AWD vehicles: http://www.pplmotorhomes.com/parts/rv-tow-bars-dollies/ultrafab-kartote-dolly-lg.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
