OUCH....Hope 'Ya don't have any problems getting parts....lately Ford isn't able to keep up with the demand for replacement body panels around the Chicago area. Lately my brother is happy when he sees the next repair is a chevy...He dosen't have to wait for body parts....lol

[EasTexOutlaw]

You are correct - I work at a collision repair dealership and I've ALREADY ordered the sheet metal

Not trying to be a topper but many years ago I backed my 1100 Yamaha out of my garage and turned to the left to set up a face forward exit in my driveway as I backed out and turned the Yamaha I forgot I parked my old Mazda 626 there. So backed into and I broke my Yamaha's rear brake light lens and scratched the crap out of the Mazda R/front quarter panel. Lesson learned. That happened in the mid 1990's and when ever I back my rocket out it flashes through my mind but I won't back into anything anymore. I was younger and yet still dumb.

I just bought the wife a new car last week, holy shit, the technology advances, not just a backup camera, but superimpose lines showing your projected path, curved if steering wheel isn't straight, with a red line showing how far is safe to back up. And I paired my phone, so yesterday I got into car and it immediately told me that the battery in my phone was low. And we just got it, I'm sure I don't know half what it does. Welcome to the future, now where's my flying motorcycle?

We've had a car with all that gumpfh for almost 3 years - Still not used half the gizmos and I keep finding new ones too. And to be clear I ordered a model with no optional gizmos.

Clint,
How tall was the pole and where was it located in referance to a building? Pix?
How fast were you going?

[EasTexOutlaw]

Prolly 50' tall. The pole was at the outer most end of the parking lot near the street - prolly about the second row. Prolly 20 mph - Never touched the brakes
It was the parking lot at my gym that I go to 4 days a week LOL

Yer fucked! 😫

Clint,
My My intentions were merely to see it's late to see if you had an argument it's an argument regarding fault in this incident.
It's pretty hard to miss a 50' tall Pole and and ir sounds like there were no view obstructions. You were also going 20 miles an hour in a parking lot, which doesn't help.

He has to keep his eyes open when driving 😂

[EasTexOutlaw]

Yessir, that’s why in my first post I said Fuck I guess I’m getting old/stupid 🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬😭😭😭

[Mexican]

[EasTexOutlaw]

Thank God I was caging 😳

[Tripps]

My wife's friend many years ago totaled a new Camaro on a parking lot concrete light pole base.

[EasTexOutlaw]

Yea since I’ve worked in the collision repair industry since 95 it’s unreal how many vehicles we’ve seen that have done that…… usually an older guy staring at a hot babe 😳😁😎

[Tripps]

Well, that's another story, my buddy in his Maverick when we were teenagers, turning around to look at cute hitchhikers we picked up in the back seat. Rear ended a mint GTO, driving it into another mint GTO in front of it. Guys were not happy, thought they were gonna kick his ass.

[EasTexOutlaw]

No Doubt!
