Poor thing...

 

Steve-

How close are you to Rancho Cordova? If you need me to locate factory parts ie the radiator or the condensor, let me know and I will tell you what yards down there has the parts.

 

Rancho cordova to me is 479 miles..

I just got ahold of my ins agent he said he thinks that is the case aboot what we talked aboot.

He said he's going to call the claims adjuster and see whats up he'll get right back to me.

Did you say that place had the ac condesor and rad. in stock...?

 

DC, Talked to my agent, He said he talked to the claims adj. said they are probably just trying to go the most cost effective route and I would get a lifetime warranty on those 2 parts.
But he's going to give me a call back tomorrow and see why they cant use new...So ill let you know...

 

Wow, you have really bad luck or maybe Karma, because I do believe I remember a thread 3 weeks ago about this truck when you first got it saying something like "my new truck" and its been hit already, if it was me, after i got this truck back I would probably baby it, hell I would read it bedtime stories before I put it in the garage.

 

It doesnt go in the garage..

But yeah, bad luck mixed with 18 y/o driving habbits got me here.

 

Scuba this is gonna sound weird but i kinda think you lucked out. What I mean is I was a wreckless indestructable punk kid till about 24. Until that time with all the crazy things I had done I never wrecked anything. Then I had this hot rod 70 camaro. I was showin off one night on the street I lived on doin 85 miles per hour mind you this is a 25mph residential. a truck pulled out in front of me I hit the brakes lost control then hit a camry totalled a corrola spun around hit the truck and bounced off into an accord. Turns out there was a husband wife and a baby in the truck. no one was hurt. But thats what it took for me to slow myself down and look at the big picture. Im in no way saying this happened because you were wreckless. but I wish I had a few smaller oportunities to learn how to anticipate these occurences rather than just jumping in with both feet. I consider myself very lucky had my car not been built like it was I would be dead.

Oh and if we ever happen to wheel together I will just follow you.

 

Sucks to hear about that dood.

and whatever you say
