    Yep.....what Lee said. Backing into something with a trailer is not that far removed from doing it without a trailer. He probably felt it. If the dealership wont co-operate, makes me think it could of been one of their delivery /exchange drivers. Good luck
    Always remember that you're unique. Just like everyone else.

    Randy,

    No cooperation from the dealership, and I never thought that it might have been one of their drivers! That makes a lot of sense. I don't have a lot of experience backing a trailer, except one with a boat on it. The only thing I have every really hit is the water. I would think he would have felt some resistance when he couldn't continue in reverse!

    I meet with the insurance folks tomorrow morning.

    Thanks for posting your thoughts on this!

    Smile A somewhat happy ending

    I met with the insurance adjuster this a.m. Because my hood won't open the full extent of the damage is still unknown. The adjuster evaluated all of the external damage, estimated the cost to repair, and cut me a check. I stopped by the body shop, gave them the estimate, they ordered the parts, and my car goes into the shop on Monday. Once they get the hood off and can check things out further they will work out the cost of further repairs with the insurance company.

    All in all, a pretty simple process. My claim was handled very professionally and I am very pleased with the service. I get to keep my car for a little longer at least.

    Thanks for all the advice.

    My oh my, Belinda, what a way to ease clogged arteries! My friend once pulled up to a stop in the right hand turn lane. A semi with trailer pulled up AFTER her in the thru lane to her left. He put on his blinker, and turned right. She saw the cab moving and tried to make her turn before he crushed her car. She nearly made it before the goose neck creamed her roof and shoved her and the car into a traffic light. She wasn't hurt but her Buick magically turned into a Bick and the settlement from the trucking company helped ease her car shopping woes - and her retirement fund.
