    Oh yeah, first ever accident after 10 years, now I know how it's actually handled, well at least here. It is already fixed, it ended up being 3,253 in parts and labor, 2020 Volvo plastic piece of crap... Lol

    Glad it all worked out for you! I had an accident once that my boss said I had to pay for but never seen the first bill and they never withheld any from my check so maybe you'll get lucky there too lol.

    Be honest. Honestly if this company didn't use recaps this might not have happened.

    I used to tame the police by saying enough with the questions, Im having a hard time keeping up with so many words, like wife at home. SHEESH. =)

    What grinds my gears is when I am working on a full answer to one question they interrupt with another question OR demand me to repeat that. Half way through. Its not going to work like that.

    It started out that way.

    Takes a while for the questions to be taken care of. She finally learned I run the same regardless of how many different ways she asked about my day. It was better for me to make her day a brighter one and take care of that questioning.

    When you stay with someone long enough in life there is not very much need for questions anymore.

    I've been following your saga from the sidelines.

    Good for you, sir. Good on you for being honest, and offering to help out with the bill. That right there gentlemen is the definition of "honor".

    If I had work enough I would offer you a job, sir.

    The haunting feeling of having lied and cheated would last last far longer than than the sting to your pocketbook. And you can always earn that money back.

    Your honor? Not so much.
