Not a good night in the Cuda Jas Neieghborhood - Update on Cuda
« on: November 09, 2016 - 11:29:22 PM »
Well as most of you know I have an amazing 16 yo daughter, who is growing into a fantastic human being.

Over the last few weeks she has been learning to drive in my new Charger.

Tonight she had a little accident...in our driveway.

Her foot slipped off the brake, on to the gas and she drove into the rear of my wife's 08 Ram, which in turn pushed the ram into the garage door and the doorway, and you guessed it, into the cuda.  Yep she damaged all three of our vehicles in one shot.

Big picture, no one was hurt, the cars can al be fixed...but man does it suck.

Charger took it the worst.  Bumper and grill will need to be replaced.  Its nor leaking any fluids, so looks to be drivable. 
The Ram has a scuff down the side of the fender, from where it hit the garage door opening and the fender is pushed back a bit.  Rear bumper is not damaged.
Garage door is FUBARED as well as the tracks.  Siding on the garage door opening is rippled pretty good and will need to be replaced.

The cuda, is no where near as bad as I expected.  it skidded forward but did not hit the front end.  The rear bumper is bent and scratched, but there does not seem to be any other significant damage.  I will need to pull it apart and see if anything else is damaged.

So I guess I need to call the insurance company tomorrow and see what they have to say.

Like I said not one was hurt, my daughter was pretty upset, and the vehicles can al be fixed.  Still sucks.

Jaso

Sorry to hear that but like all have said, no one got hurt and all can be repaired.....but still.  My son is turning 16 in December and I'm thinking about all this stuff. He's a great kid and I believe he will do just fine but accidents do happen.

Wow Jason, that's a tough one. I know years from now you will laugh about it.

If you need a bumper to paint and the Challenger bumper is the same I have one I'll give you.

Having a new driver in the family has to be very nerve wracking.  I'd be a mess with worry every time they left the house.  I'm glad she's physically OK.  This is a good teaching moment.  Maybe this experience will make her a better driver in the future.

That is some awful luck.

She must feel horrible.  Don't let it ruin her confidence as a new driver.
