Distracted Driver Collides With My XR7 July 03, 2015, 09:55:31 AM This is what happens when a distracted driver in a Ford F250 Super Duty pick-up drifts out of his lane at 65mph and collides into the passenger side of my near perfect 1988 Cougar XR7 in San Antonio. When the cops arrive he claims I crossed into his lane and caused the accident. BEFOREAFTERIf I had a dash cam it would have caught this jerk colliding into me. So I bought this one from Amazon for $79.95: Spy Tec A118-C Capacitor Edition Full 1080P HD Video Car Dashboard Camera. Quote Selected

Distracted Driver Collides With My XR7 Reply #3 – July 03, 2015, 11:32:06 AM How bad is the damage on the quarter? At least the rest looks fixable. Did you have collision insurance?That car sure is nice. You don't see nice clean southern cougars that often. That certainly sucks. Quote Selected

Distracted Driver Collides With My XR7 Reply #5 – July 03, 2015, 12:05:35 PM Wow that sucks. Hopefully you have some sort of collector vehicle policy. If so they should be able to fix your car and find the parts to repair it. Quote Selected

If so they should be able to fix your car and find the parts to repair it.I maintain full coverage on the vehicle through AAA. My claim was treated as a "no fault" accident because the other driver claims I collided into him. However, the body shop AAA recommended said they can't find parts for it (bumper, fender, door) and gave me a check and "good luck". I'm looking for a bumper, door, and fender in the "parts wanted" forum. Quote Selected

Distracted Driver Collides With My XR7 Reply #13 – July 04, 2015, 11:15:44 PM Wow that is terrible. I feel for you man. Not in my T bird luckily, I was in my truck, when I had someone cross on me and I had to go into the grass to misshiznitting it head on. I turned around and followed it while calling the sheriff. A mile or so down the road it pulled over into a little convenience store. Turned out to be a young girl who was still texting on her phone when I pulled up to her. She had no idea I was even there. I asked her if she knew what she did, she had no clue. Sheriff was pulling in as I was leaving. A dash cam is a good idea. I have never felt I needed it, but after looking at your car, that could easily be my car. Quote Selected

I have three G1W cameras, which only cost about $42 shipped each for the most recent purchase of a genuine model now. Prices have come down a lot on good dashcams. Quote Selected
