Thread: I just had a fender bender!

I am still shaking - man this has been a crappy month!! I haven't had an accident since I was 19, and that was a fender bender too.

I left a space open in front of me (sitting at a red light) for people to turn left into a Wal-Mart. A very nice :P man pulled up, and filled the spot. There were four cars waiting to turn, so I check behind me to see if I can back up, and let them turn. A 16 yo girl in a TINY car, (I have a Montero) was on my back bumper. What bothers me is that I could not see her in ANY of my mirrors. Anyway, I only backed up about 6 or 8 inches when she honked and I stopped. My trailer hitch scratched her bumper - no major damage - and no damage at all to my truck. The little girl was so sweet - apologizing to me - even though I backed into her! She didn't have any shoes on, and she was standing on that hot Texas street getting my insurance information. I know her feet were on fire!

There goes my 16 year record!!
