Not My Preferred T-bone

[dgl24087]

Car ran a stop sign and caught me on the driver door. It really doesn't look as badly damaged in the pic as it really is.

I'm surprised how well that step bar did. Did the bumper go under it and the hood go over it and into the door? Hopefully nobody was hurt. The next time you head out I would suggest going for the Porterhouse over the T-bone. :laughing:

The step bar is bent down about 4 inches or so. The car that hit me was a 2003 Audi A6. I think the step bar went under the bumper. The impact was pretty hard, it knocked me sideways and in regaining control I crossed 2 lanes of traffic. By some miracle, there was a traffic break in the oncoming lanes. No injuries but I'm extremely sore today. Initial estimates are $5-7k, the dealer's body shop looked at it at 11 this morning and still hasn't completed their estimate. I actually prefer Ribeye. :licking:

Glad you are ok. Looks like minor damage but its going to cost to fix it and do it right. The main issue is the cab corner. It will be every bit of $5000.

The damage is actually worse than it appears in the photo. The cab is buckled slightly, hard to explain and I haven't taken any more photos.

Claim filed, parts ordered, work begins next Wed., estimated 13-14 working days for repairs. Ins. co. renting me a either an F150 or another Ram thru Enterprise.

So what was the $$$$$ damage?
