    Sitting at a light today in Albuquerque NM and when it turned green I started out. The dude in the lane beside me, darts left for some reason and hits the right side of my truck. Only damage is shown. The guy behind him stayed for a witness FOR ME :iconbiggrin: :iconbiggrin: :iconbiggrin: and the other driver admitted to hitting me to the cop. So now we wait for the officers report (2 weeks) and then take it up with the guys Ins company. At least my truck is still driveable.
    About 3 good kicks from my size 10s and it looks almost as good as new flying by at 75 mph.
    Other guy's car was messed up. Gonna need some minor body work and paint on his left rear quarter panel, and a new bumper. Tore his smooth off. :biggrin_25523: :biggrin_25523:

    OUCH! Sorry about your luck, at least the witness stayed around and the guy fessed up.

    Good luck losing your nickname now, even if it wasn't your fault.

    Yeah no kidding, I hadn't thought of that. :biggrin_2551:


    Yeah he really didn't say WHY. The owner of the company I'm leased to bets a box of donuts that he was on the cell phone and wasn't about to admit that to me or the fuzz.
