Tremor VS Rolls Royce Wraith

joshthedoc · Jun 17, 2020

Moronic drivers come in all shapes and sizes unfortunately. Probably going to cost 25 billion dollars to fix that Rolls. I've driven one a few times and its quite the experience, although I would be embarrassed to drive that fancy eggplant. If it means anything, your tremor looks pretty sweet.

So what was the estimate on the damage? I am amazed at what body shops charge these days.

Make sure to get his insurance company to provide you with a similar loaner ( rental) truck and drive the Sh!t out of it.

I also have to add, with 354 miles to empty and 3/4 of a tank, I can only assume you are driving a diesel, or I am really doing something wrong.

UPDATE: I Took the truck to a legit bodyshop and the estimate came out to be 2,600 bucks. That includes a whole new bumper and some trim, paint and working with the fender gaps. The steering was way off after the wreck so I took it straight to my alignment shop. Turns out the shop that installed my adjustable track bar never tightened the jam nut. That caused the axle to shift over. (the truck was aligned two week prior to the wreck) Total for that was $160. If you want info as soon as I get it follow my IG @blue_flame_raptor

It is a diesel

Okay. That makes me feel better about my Tremor's Karen Carpenter binge-and-purge dietary habits.

UPDATE: Tremor is back from the bodyshop after a week of mostly sitting outside. They replaced the bumper, fog light trim, track bar and realigned the fender and fender flare. They said they had to order special paint for it since it had a dark base coat with a candy blue tint over it. The fog ligbt piece took a long time to get, they said it was on back order with 85 people waiting. The day before I took it to the shop it was making a clunking noise as I turn the wheel, upon closer inspection the readylift trackbar had tons on movement. This is because the axle took the main impact. All in the total for this shit is definitely over $3k while the RR guy tried to pay me $1k. Now I need to get the diminished value of my truck.

Thought I wouldn't have to post on here again but after going on a road trip my new bumper is covered in rock chips and the paint is flaking off, one of the areas isn't even a chip just paint falling off while washing the truck. Going to take her back to the body shop and see make them redo the bumper. Paint definitely shouldn't fall off like this and I'm not going to stand for it. This time I would take the bumper off myself and bring it to them, then maybe get it wrapped in ppf.
