    The Brew master I heard it from stated it as unfit to drink, basically the same as why wine was the drink of choice for a very long time. Also grog was rum diluted with water, "invented" by a British vice admiral in the West Indies.

    I am paying 1200 a week for this rental truck. Its been 12 weeks now... thats 14000 and change. Body shop repair bill is around 40k. Tow bill was 8k... this wreck taught me a lesson not only on the driving part . But how expensive it is to make mistakes... i couldve rebuilt my entire truck for that amount of money and got back a brand new truck. But instead just getting back a brand new painted body. Thats about it.

    Insurance is paying me 125 a day for 30 days. Thats it. Im on the hook for the rest of the truck payment . Which ive been having it taken out of my gross revenue every week. Id just rather it be done that way then have to write a huge check at the end of all this.

    Oh S###, I thought it was a Loaner paid by insurance. $4800 a month is way too much. Today’s market, must be the going rate. That’s crazy.

    Yeah its insane but ive still been able to keep money coming in and make a profit . So i cant whine to much about it. But 4800 a month for a truck with 700k miles on it, no apu, no bunk heat. Havent even come close to 6mpg... its just been taking every penny i make it seems like. But it is what it is.

    That’s best, what’s gone is gone.So they paid almost $4000, you paid $10,000. What about $8000 Tow Bill? Not covered? I had towing with Ooida, had a $500 deductible. I thought the tow bill from an accident if needed was covered under Liability.
