So, my buddy Al is currently on the phone with me explaining what just happened to his car. Apparently, the back end of long gooseneck trailers kick out when the truck towing them turns! WHO KNEW?!
This is the fourth accident he’s had in this car, and none of them have been his fault. He’s had the car for just over two years.
I’m currently trying to convince him to either buy a Raptor or a Charger Hellcat (because, as a rational person, I know that there are also times we should be irrational).

You sure none of them have been his fault? Because I think every one should know that. Maybe your buddy puts himself in scenarios he shouldn’t.

That’s pretty much what happened, from the right lane, though.

That’s what I told him. He’s waiting for an adjuster to call (accident happened a couple of hours ago), we’ve got our fingers crossed.

He’s been rear ended and hit in the parking lot a few times. Non of his past cars have had this history.
We think that the car is cursed.

So yea the other ones weren’t his fault. Don’t mind me, just victim blaming.

Hopefully it gets totaled. I can’t imagine trying to sell a car with a storied Carfax.

Glad your pal’s OK
Yeah something has been trying to send a message with this car. Maybe now he’ll hafta act on it

He mentioned the carfax. I responded: “Oh yeah, your carfax report is totally screwed.”

I am always very careful when towing, those big side mirrors are helpful in preventing dumb things like this from happening.

This has frame damage written all over it. Best outcome is to get the car totalled.

That car is cursed! But I find it amusing with that new damage it makes it look like the body is made of aluminum foil

I know this is an old post, but I kind of fell down the Kinja rabbit hole. What was the outcome of this? Did his insurance company total the car?

He’s driving a rental car right now and is waiting for the insurance company to render a verdict. I’ll let you know what the final outcome is.
