Kid hit my PARKED Raptor....

[RV-Junke]

A few things...One the truck is an Icon with the "kids" and almost all know my kids and or the truck, as was the case with this kid...thus I didn't kill him. Second, his car although the pictures didn't show it was shot, not drivable at all. Front wheel was pushed worse than mine and leaking all sorts of fluids. What's not show is I am 70+ feet from a 90 deg turn, he came around the corner at warp speed over-steered straight into wheel.

Yes, it was a miracle he hit the tire, not the truck or another car...he would have gotten seriously hurt. Cops estimated 35+ on impact. He never hit the brakes, we think he panicked and hit the gas.

To all your statements, I am LUCKY it wasn't a hit and run...Thanks and I will update post once I get adjuster etc...

Also comment about plastic in rear, I sweep the street and that's where it all ended.

I’m conflicted on this one... It appears the striking vehicle could have limped away, so I agree, the kid wasn’t a complete idiot and stopped. However, the street is arrow straight and there is no indication of any braking prior to impact and no rotation on the striking vehicle until after impact, so I’d be tempted to ask the kid for his cell phone and shove it up his ass after he gave it to me because I’d bet the farm on the fact he was texting/surfing on it prior to impact.

At least no one was injured or killed. Sorry about your vehicle for sure! Hopefully your body shop gets you back into the Raptor soon.

sorry to hear about this. i used a guy in hackensack that is so meticulous its insane. if you want your truck back to showroom quality call matt. this guys work is impeccable.

he repaired my 2017 x5m back to showroom quality. if your near their id definitely reach out to him and see what he says. if your close to him, i wouldn't use anyone else. oh by the way, I'm out on long island and took it to him! none better. he was a referall from my detailer (phil at detailers domain) who's even more insane than I am.

good luck with repair.

Hey Guys, Happy New Year!

Sound asleep this am., and BOOM! Some kid nailed the driver side front wheel. Snapped the Control arm, and basically decimated the suspension, which is FOX 3.0 , as well as the custom ADD Viper Bumper, and Fender which buckled near the front windshield.

Question do any of you have any recommendations to have the truck fixed in New Jersey? It is un-drivable, and its all the "custom" stuff that us "F'd" up, so I am thinking not a traditional body shop...any recommendations are welcome. Thanks in advance.

Thanks! OK4Wheel Drive works with a shop Warren County Collision, which is a Direct Repair Program (DRP) for NJ Manufactures so I will try that route, but it is GREAT to know an alternate. Thank you again!
