Doesn't Get Out Enough
It is with heavy heart that I relate to you the story of an innocent Land Cruiser parked on the street that still got the better of a passing Lincoln Aviator (that was probably going 45mph in a 30mph zone).
Just after dark last night one of my friend Matt was sitting at home with his wife and 10yr-old daughter when BA-BAM!! He said the sound reverberated through the front of his house and rattled the windows. He went outside to find that a woman driving down the street had veered over and smacked the back corner of his parked 80-Series...
...with a hard enough impact to push the Land Cruiser into the back of his Mustang GT which was parked at least 4ft in front of it and shove the car another 5-6ft along the curb. Obviously the ARB bumper got the better of the Mustang.
Normally the the Mustang would be parked in the garage next to his wife's Explorer and the 80-Series would be in the driveway in front of his M101A3 trailer. But he's been shuffling them around lately because we needed some workspace in the garage and he wanted to be able to drive the car more than once a month without moving the trailer anyway. Needless to say, he's gutted at the thought of his Cruiser getting totaled simply due to age/mileage combined with the fact that the Mustang's not completely paid for. A small compensation was that the Lincoln came off worse than the Cruiser and the woman openly admitted to the police that the accident was her fault. Everyone involved had full coverage so it will all get worked out. USAA will be coming to assess his two vehicles on Friday.
