Sammygunit Posted March 3, 2009 Report Share Posted March 3, 2009 So I had my truck parked at the local VFW, and I got a phone call after I had all ready got a ride because I knew that I was too drunk to drive. The phone call started with "man I am sorry but I backed in to your truck." MAN!!! So I look at it the next day of course he hit it with his trailer hitch backing up. The passenger door is toast, also pushed in to the rocker. Just the plastic rocker alone costs over 400 dollars. Took it to the shop yesterday to get it fixed and the quote was 3,800 dollars. Thank GOD for insurance. First time I have ever had to use it but hey, I guess it is good to have sometimes. Anyway, without my baby for over a week, driving a cobalt.

Take it to a good shop that will go back with GM sheetmetal. No aftermarket junk.

Sam is his insurance paying or yours? I assume it was a friend or at least someone you know since he has your phone #. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaymz Posted March 3, 2009 Report Share Posted March 3, 2009 That sucks man...but in all honesty my DUI cost more than $3,800... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sammygunit Posted March 3, 2009 Author Report Share Posted March 3, 2009 Yeah, he is paying my deductible. Since he was drinking no we didn't make a report or anything. I kind of live in the middle of the desert so I went to the most "reputable" place within a 100 miles. So I really hope that it comes out all right. I am NOT going to except it if it is anything but the best. I grew up in a body shop so I am going to fine tooth comb the truck when I go get it. I'm serious I am not taking any tape lines or anything. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buy your cladding cheaper on ebay with SAE auto parts...Save some dough or put it towards mods!
