Mom + Loaned MM = Accident

[2003 MIB]

I'm not making this up. Remember the "I loaned Mom the Marauder" thread? She called a few minutes ago and a kid ran a stop sign and hit her. Everybody is okay- I haven't seen the car yet- Mama says "the front thingee is broken around the driver's side headlight". I think thingee means facia. Yes, the other driver is insured too. I think it was the Boomtown Rats who said it best, "I don't like Mondays." :( :mad: :(

[THE_INTERCEPTOR]

That is horrible news. I hope your mom doesn't feel bad, even though it wasn't her fault. :(

At least the kid was insured! Hope you get her all fixed up.

[TAF]

OUCH! Very sorry to here this, glad to here your Mom is O.K.!

Lot's of us have been here, thought she'd never be the same...but I can assure you...get her fixed up by a good shop and you'll never think of it again. :up:

She feels awful and was crying when she called- that really breaks my heart- Mama's had a rough March. I told her it was going to go in the shop to have the trunk de-badged anyway but she knows my relationship with this car. It'll be fixed and that's all okay but I don't know what to say to make her feel better.

How about,, Mom, as much as I love that car, it is nothing compared to how much I love you. Cars are fixable, moms are irreplaceable. :up:

Sounds like we need to get together and compare damage from my wreck last week. Or at least go somewhere and cry in our beers!

Tell me about it, Dean!!! We need to take Johnman too. He loaned his Blue MM to his mom and she had a minor T/A too. The month of March has not been kind to NTM members. I guess the upside is that I'll never forget Logan's birthday!!:D

[Fourth Horseman]

Argh! Horrible news, but I'm glad your mom is ok. Hope the damage isn't too severe. :bigcry:

[woaface]

Sorry to hear the news dude. But you're mom is ok, and she sounds like an awesome person...

How about this?: "Ya know that I forgive you Mom, and that as much as I DO care a REAL LOT about that car, I care more about you..........but, I can see how much this is bothering you that you wrecked my BEAUTIFUL car, soif it will make you feel better, you can buy me a supercharger kit for it" :D

[CRUZTAKER]

Nooooooo!:bigcry:

It's bad enough when the owner does it, but the borrower?

I'll agree use the 'Moms more important line'....brownie points and all....but if it were my mom....she'd be grounded for a month!:D

[martyo]

I don't know what to say to make her feel better.Tell her things could be worse. She could have a son like Todd!! :eek:

[TAF]

Oh...yeah...I bet you feel REAL big...yeah REAL big making a joke out of this thread. Only YOU could make a joke out of someone's mom being in a crash...sheez!

What's next? You taken on making fun of little sisters??!!:banned:

[Bigdogjim]

I think you both should go to your rooms for a while!

As for MOM and the car? No brianer their. Marauders can be fixed MOM's can't!!

mercman said it best!!!

[dflynn5]

Driving to work and a stone flew and hit the windshield. I now have a curling crack approx 24 inches and I didn't even have the plates for the car at the time :((

Very well said. I am also glad no one was injured.

[cruzer]

Dan, I don't know what I'm going to do with you guys--our NTM group must have the highest accident rate of the group--
Sincerely, I'm happy your Mom is O K and just let her know you love her---remember all the things she has forgiven you for and how many boo-boos shes made better.
Hope all you guys get your cars back for the April 24th SVT Show in Grapevine :lol: Maury

[Zack]

Was the badgeless grill on yet??

[chrish]

Reminder about the KB 6 car for sale.Let her know that would make you and her feel much better. Just a thought.

[Petrograde]

No Zack-it wasn't. The grill arrived UPS yesterday and is absolutely perfect. I don't want to de-rail the thread but if any of y'all have been thinking about the badgeless grill- Zack does great work!!!:up: :up: :up:

I'm going to call Jhn Eagle this morning and try to get the car in tomorrow after work. It'll be ready for the SVT show. I'm looking forward to seeing everybody.:rock:

[Haggis]

2003MIB,

Glad to haer that your mother was not injured in the crash. As people have stated I am sure she is feeling very depressed about the accident. Buy her some flowers and take her out to dinner to show her you are not mad. If she is still feeling depressed break out the old photo album and talking about the good old days when you were just a little tyke.

One more thing was it a Honda that hit your car?

No Sir, a big honkin' white 1995 Lincoln Town Car. Sort of a "Clash of the Titans". I too, wondered about the "Honda Connection" but this wasn't one of them....19yo girl...I'm just glad no one was injured...

[woaface]

Marty is more than welcome to make fun of my little sister:up:

[Racerx88]

Dan did you get your car in to Eagle yet?
I'm still waiting for the check from the insurance company. I'm not gonna put mine in until I've got that girls money IN MY HAND. Came out to just a tad over $3500. Pics coming....................

The girl who hit me was 19 or 20, as well. I know we were all there once, but young drivers scare the bejesus out of me. Experience is everything when it comes to operating vehicles. As the fly boys say, there's no substitue for air under your butt. In this case, there's no substitute for asphalt under your butt.

Be nice James........I'm a little sister myself ya' know!!:P ;) ;)

But of course my older brothers are open game!!!:D :D :D :D

[Cobra25]

Sorry to hear about the Accident with your mom and your MM. Glad to here your mom was not hurt. I hope they fix you car as good as new.

[Johnman]

Welcome to the club, Dan. I can't believe it happened to you, especially since I told you about mine just as your Mom had driven off with yours-I hope you don't think I cursed you!( I just saw your thread today as I'm not getting on the site as much as I used to) My Mom felt horrible too, and I didn't know what to say either. It wasn't her fault-a guy to the right of her tried to turn left even though he wasn't in the turn lane. Sc***** the RF and then sped off. Thankfully, Mom didn't give chase but she didn't get the license plate either. I had John Eagle do the work and got some dings fixed on the rear bumper as well. J-E did mostly excellent work, except the rear bumper wasn't properly smoothed and polished when I went to pick it up, so I had to wait an extra 15 minutes while they finished the job, and I'm going to need to take it back again as there's still a rough whitish area underneath on the left side (I'm anal about my MM) Paint match and smoothness is beautiful, though. Maybe there needs to be a Marauder Moms support group ("Hi, My name is Joy and I damaged my son's Marauder..)
