So I got my truck out to my buddy's place to paint the antenna today, and on my way home, some lady in a 2500 sideswiped me. ;_;
Rather than have her get upset and call the cops (they'd have sided with her, I'm sure of it) I just agreed to pay for her grille and fender flare.
I haven't got any pictures of the smashed up door, but I think it's punishment for getting a zigzag antenna for my truck.
I was going to fix the bumper tomorrow, but, well...
Door will open, but it's difficult to shut. The window won't roll down (at least it didn't shatter again.) Mirror is screwed (Had zip ties in the truck, thank God.)
But, looking at it from a positive angle:
- Insurance and Cops weren't involved.
- The grille and fender flare for her truck total out to like, $70 on parts train, which is cheaper than a ticket or a deductible. I can probably get them at the junkyard for a lot less too.
- I get a purple or black door for a few weeks.
- I can finally fix my busted speaker.
- I have an excuse to paint my truck.
- The emblem isn't broken, so I can take it off and put it on my mini-fridge.
- My door now whistles when I go over 40, and it's a pleasant note. Sounds like a C sharp.
Although, really looking at it, that'll buff out.
