Dodge Rams Garage, Z escapes damage

[Bonzi Lon]

Got a call at work stating a truck had run into my garage, AGAIN. An 06 Dodge Ram 3500 dulie was parked? across the street at the discount store, rolled 75 feet across the lot, down a five foot embankment, crossed the street and rammed into the corner of my garage causing major damage to the structure.

The good news is nothing happened to any part of my newly painted Z. However, I had moved the two completed doors to the other room Sunday. They would of crashed to the floor if I hadn't moved them. Had the truck NOT hit the corner it would of come on through and spewed STUFF all over the Z. Or worse, had it been parked? one stall to the passenger it would of come through the garage doors and hit the Z head on. :mad:

The police were called and a report made. The insurance company has been notified and they are "on it".

I was only able to get this one photo then the batteries decided to go flat.:disappoin

Lucky no one was hurt and the Z escaped damage. Maybe it's time to move? Or maybe put up some barriers like a wall or fence?

Dodge bullet dodged...

Make sure you get a nice new shiny garage...

Glad the Z made it.

That would have been a shame if the Z suffered any damage. I would talk to the insurance company and let them know it would be mutually beneficial to plant some concrete filled posts connected with steel rails for protection, as a part of the garage repair. After all, this is not the first time, and may not be the last. On a brighter note, looks like it was a beautiful day in Kansas.

PS-They don't call them Rams for nothing:cry:

When the discount store was built they had planted a row of trees to keep cars from "going over". If a car does go over it usually is very damaged. It is the taller trucks that make it. The first time was about 15 years ago, in the SAME SPOT. Over the years some of the trees have been "taken out" and never replaced.

The store mananger and I are good friends and sure we can work something out so it doesn't happen again, now that the Z is near completion.

It WAS a "beautiful day in Kansas", full sun, upper 50s. NOW, 36 hours later, its 19 and falling, blowing snowing, north wind at about 25mph. A beautiful day in the neighborhood....

Dude, you're so lucky! You'll get a new garage for the Z to live in and be safe. I would look into come barriers though.
