Guy I work with drives a silverado or something, not even that big of a truck. Every day he comes to park he parks in the same corner area of the lot, and every time he does it he jumps the curb with his front left tire trying to get it there. It's like he cant ever figure out the size and dimensions of his own vehicle so he just doesnt bother trying anymore.

18 wheel truck drivers can pull a 3 point turn on a 2 lane road, why the hell cant you properly park a 2 door truck in a single parking spot without it being crooked with the ***-end in the other lane, or plowing your front end over the grass to straighten it out lol.

Got the appraisal done tonight.

Grand total: $1,859.

Nothing has to be replaced. The grand price includes the $950 for the single Volk wheel as well.

Side job I asked them to do is they are going to paint my door handles to match as well as paint the front fang black for around a total of $120.

Just waiting for the appraisal to work its way to the insurance company of the "lovely" lady that hit me so that it can get their blessing. Hopefully sooner rather than later!

Today's Trucks & SUV'S have become "Rollin' Dunce-Caps" for its owners, especially here..

That's great news. At least the damage wasn't severe.
