Hows this for luck

[nightcreacher]

As everyone knows I've been off work since end of August for eye problems.The day that I put Jerry in the truck to run solo,i went over and met him at the truck to give him the keys.Well here's he bad luck.When arriving at the truck,which i keep at the garage i have the truck worked on,someone had backed into it.Now itdidnt look as the damage was really bad,other than the bumper was bent,so with that,yesturday i took the truck for estimates to have the work done,and the insurance compny wanted 2 estimates,no problem there.Well here ya go.the estimate which I thought would be maybe 2500 bucks wasnt even close,better than $5600,you could have knocked me over with a feather.Also about 4 days down time.Boy does this suck,and of course $1000 deductable.If I new all this,Id have got the estimates and had the truck repaired while I have been off. They say you snooze you loose,guss I snoozed.Oh and where I park,its park at your own risk

Man, that sucks. I guess with $1k deductible it doesn't matter too much if it's $2k or $6k to fix it but it's scary how fast the cost can add up.

Sorry to hear but hopefully they get you up and running quickly.
That really is one of those "I hate when that happens".

Sorry to hear about the damage and the down time for repairs. Thankfully, Jerry was able to run the truck for you while you were off for the surgery. You're losses could have been greater.

That sucks, sorry to hear. Kickem while they're down, comes to mind.

Sorry Steve, I hope you get back out on the road soon. But $1000 out of your pocket hurts. That happened to me back in 2005 when my son got sick. The truck had $14000.00 in damage.
