Oh crap !!!

That's not "exactly" what came out of my mouth.... but we can keep it PG

Well that sucks. One last ride, one block from the house, just a quick jaunt down to the store - you never know.

Coulda been worse…

 

[Smcgarry980]

SO true! Don't know how I managed to keep it on two wheels...

Coulda been worse…

Yep. Coulda been you driving the car into your bike in the garage.

So long as you got away unscathed is what matters, things can be replaced, human lives and limbs, not so.

 

[Smcgarry980]

So true. Glad it was a "Yaris" and not a F250

I have a theory that these type of dents can be pulled out by glueing on pins or bolts and having a bar to pull on the. If multiple bolts were used, then the nut on each would pull the metal by different amounts.

Below is the kind of thing I have in mind, but the pins are welded on, with the glueing method, the surface would be undamaged, the pins removed by either heat to melt the glue or dissolved with a solvent.



... actually if the circular end plate is removable.then the majority of the the dent may be pushed out from inside.

Interesting. I've seen this sort of set up at body shops and it could work....Or....her insurance can pay for it

 

[ga_max]

I vote for her insurance . Glad you're OK.

Same thing happened to me a few weeks ago here in upstate NY. Took my 06 over to Larry in Rochester. He is the guy to go to if you are close enough. Or make the trip. I did.

I'm in Oregon... I'll have to see what insurance says but I'm guessing I'll be looking for parts soon. Thanks for the info though.

O.P.: glad you aren't any the worse, and that the person didn't flee.

I dont think a Yaris could flee a Vmax. Even a damaged one. LOL.

EXCELLENT point! Not to mention that I think the steam coming out of my ears would have added at least 20HP
