Angry More Horror!!

What a week this has been! First, Monday, the Garage door falls on my baby, then this morning a Semi Truck Sides swipes me while I was parked! Thank God someone saw this happen and ran in the store to tell me. I immediately left my wife in the store and raced after the SOB! They had no idea they had hit me, (yeah right!) It was a driver in training naturally. This woman was pleading with me not to call the police so she didn't get fired. No offense to her, but, "HOW IS THIS MY PROBLEM?!"

Here are some pics of the damage:

AHHH ***** golf! Man, I'm really sorry. That's awful. Sounds like I would've had to kill a Driver in Training...slowly... and painfully. I feel for ya man...

Absolutely no way in hell would I let her slide. Did you call the police? Clearly a hit and run case.

Oh yeah, I definately called the cops. They wrote her up and took care of her. she won't be driving another Semi anymore hopefully. It should be pain in the a$$ to get it fixed though. Their insurance and the trucking company was from out of state and that will not be easy to get taken care of. I am taking the truck in tomorrow to get my other repairs done, so hopefully they can do everything at once.

Golfer,

I you get any crap from the out-of-state insurance company, notify the insurance regulatory board from their state of headquarters and your home state. I've had to fight a couple of claims tooth and nail, and have found the regulators in Texas to be very helpful...not sure about the other states.

I am supposed to get the truck back today (a whole 5 days later than I was told) They have ordered the wrong Mirror 3 times and the Pinstriping is different on our trucks, so that had to be re-ordered as well.

I can't wait to ge tit back today. I just hope they did a good job and I don't have to leave it there any longer. I really miss driving my baby. I will post pics of what it looks like all fixed up.

Ya know, I never noticed that.... I think skagel's mind is in the gutter today.... and that's probably a good thing considering that you didn't get the 'you like it on top' comment until after I made yet another lewd comment.

BTW, you never answered that question... do you like it on top? LOL. JK!!!! I'm talking about the top of your truck... do you like the top of your truck... *runs*

yeah the top of my truck is ok. I love the look of the sunroof, but drying it off with those creases is very difficult the water likes to just sit and puddle up there........oh waite....that was a joke huh?

I am going to have to pay more attention to my typing skills here. Just like a woman to point out something dirty. And they say we have dirty minds...LOL
