So Saturday, me and my friend are starving to death so we decide to go to get a pizza. I go to pick him up at his apartment complex. I stop at the culdesac and see that the gate is open. Sweet me thinks, so I drive on in from park. I get in and all of a sudden the whole truck stops. i look in the mirror and see the gate open again. FU&K! )$&^)

It appears the gate closed on me, for what reason I have no idea. The gate has this long bolt used to adjust the tension of the chain which actuates it. In the larger picture you can see the threads from this bolt which projects out from the gate. It managed to just clip the wheel well and pulled it out when it retracted. I am not sure at all how that happend. I can only assume it was stuck open and that me driving over the rail shook the gate to have it start closing. The retractor seems delayed, it like opens, then notices a block then stops for a big then retracts. But that bolt extends at least 5-6 inches out from the gate so its going to hit you before the bumper on the gate does. As well I was going in to the complex, and the sensors are on the other side.

I didn’t notice the damage cause it was really dark at the gate. After about an hour and a half I call the complex to see what to do. The complex is closed but the answering service picks up. The maintenance had already locked the gate in the open position at this time and I didn’t want to leave and have them say I screwed up their gate and call the cops. I tell them the story and they are like well they will call you back on Monday. I ask if I am supposed to call the cops or what I am supposed to do cause I dont want to just leave. They tell me they will send a patrol car, to sit tight, and they will call me back.

2 hours later, its midnight and I am really freaking pissed by this point. I call the complex again, again the answering service picks up. I tell them WTF is going on I been waiting for 2 hours waiting for this cop. They tell me

Oh, we got a call back from the complex, they said if you want to do anything about it, you gotta call SAPD and have them sort it out.

I tell the lady they were supposed to call me back and that they were sending a patrol car. She says no I gotta do it. SON OF A B$7@*

So I go look up the non-emergency number, call up SAPD, tell them the story, they send a patrol car. When I told the cop the story he was like “THEY TOLD YOU WHAT!?” He was pretty pissed off for me. So he takes the report so if I have to I can get insurance to fix it. After he leaves, its 1:30 and this happend at 8:30.

I am not looking forward to Monday to see how much this is going to cost me.

This makes me a very sad panda

I have had a hell of a time since the moment I got to San Antonio. With my RX being backed into, having a water leak, getting rear ended by a truck, and now this.  I have just bought this truck about 5-6 months ago and was waiting for a time to have it professionaly cleaned so I could take pictures of it an post them.  But no, my first posted pics of my new truck is of this.  WTF dude…

Again, me = very sad panda
