My 2016 F250 has been hit 5 times since I bought it new. 6 if you count the dealer scraping the back fender backing it out of the wash bay when I was picking it up from the last accident. Going to call a priest and voodoo man.,

Same problem...

2010 F-150. Hit 4 times...None are my fault.

I hate it that I'm on a first name basis with my body shop.

The last time I took my truck to the body shop, when filling out the paperwork in the space for “how did you hear about us” I wrote down “frequent flyer”

I had a 77 El Camino that I bought new. Within two weeks of buying it first it was hit from behind, replaced the bumper on Friday and two days later got backed into. Over the next two years it got hit four more times while parked.

During that same two years I was hauling a friend's motorcycle to a shop for a crash estimate, one of the tie downs let loose,wham, 700 pounds of motorcycle rolls onto the top of my quarter panel. This is not counting the other six times listed above.

Wife and I moved out west, figured I broke the jinx. Well, it finally located me. Late '82 while at a fire incident it got backed into by a 1968 Boardman forward cab fire truck. There were supposed to be one person acting as a spotter, while at the scene a second call came in, you know the rest. Took the left door and quarter panel on that one.

Paint was getting thin and sun and sand worn at that time so it got repainted while in for bodywork. Got it home for about two weeks. One afternoon I hear a commotion in the back yard. Two dogs had a cat "treed" on the roof of the Camino. Not my dogs or my cat, just my luck. But all the same, resulting deep scratches in both fenders and both doors. Would not polish out, so to the insurance company to file a comp claim and back to the body shop.

Just after that fiasco I get a letter and a parking ticket in the mail from the City of East Lansing Michigan, a violation notice tagged to the license plate, a 1979 Michigan that I surrendered when I registered it in New Mexico in early 1980. So at that time it was three years expired. The ticket listed the vehicle as a Ford, what a fiasco.

So a letter from my employer, letter from my fire department with copies of run reports, two EMS and one fire in the 24 hours encompassing that period and a letter from me with a photocopy of the NM title and registration in the mail. Month later, ticket dismissed.

Shortly after I got rid of El Jinxmino.

Your truck is red? It's hard to miss a giant red truck. Maybe get it wrapped in urban camo.

I bought a turbo Regal in 84 or so. The left rear quarter was replaced 3 Times In the first year. The repair guy suggested putting it on with Velcro.

My 2014 Fusion is Red, Ruby Red, and its been hit 4 times, every time it happen the person got out of their car and said "I'm sorry, I didn't see you" I'll never own another red car again.

Bless your heart. Maybe your truck and the body shop guy have a 'thing' going on.

Get an old beater. Heck, if your truck was a beater, it would have paid for itself four times over. From what it seems, it might be a beater soon enough.
