Legacy killed....
 
So my buddy Shawn's girlfriend's brand new legacy GT got rear ended by a flat-bed tow truck...The tow truck driver had just got his CDL and it was his first day :roll: ..His statement to police " I didn;t know it took so long to get stopped"...

Anyway...the damage is estimated at $7,000, and it will be repaired...Also, she is totally fine after the accident, just uber-pissed...

Watch out for assholes.

Jesus.

At least she's ok; getting rearended by a tow-truck can't be fun.

Evo Mike 2004-11-15 02:38 PM

is that all shes' getting? just the car repaired? man i'd be so pissed. Just the fact that you get the feeling that it's not "running like new" if you know what i mean.

junk.. new GT!!!

I know, turns out it is a tow truck from Pick N Pull....They should have been forced to buy her salvage from her...and get a new GT...


I don't know what it is about tow truck drivers, but a tow truck wiped out one of my work's trucks on Arden Way in Sac last month...Pulled right out in front a a semi-truck going 35mph...good move huh?

So with a CDL does he get a suspension or some other penalty? Just want to know if I should be on the watch for tow truck drivers now, in addition to speeding 16 y/o's and potato trucks.

Debbie, that guy will probably never drive a commercial truck again.

Bingo.. He'll have a hard time getting around an accident like this one...

Good, at least its not a '3 strikes you're out' kind of deal.

Kevin M 2004-11-15 08:59 PM

Nah, he'll just drive tour buses for the rest of his life... :rolleyes:

That's exactly what the 16yo girl said back in '00 when she pushed her parent's 3/4-ton 4wd Suburban bumper into my Legacy's rear hatch in Carson City!

I'm beginning to think there is a subaru curse out there... people are just jealous of us or something. I had my STI smashed into (almost totally T-boned) 4 days after I bought it resulting in 7,000 plus in damages and injuries. And then a month later my new WRX wagon was rear ended (hit and run) by a drunk and high idiot.
