Ah Friday, such a lovely day. The weather was beautiful and the weekend was
in full swing. I was out with a friend for dinner and the appetizers had
just been served as the waitress comes up and says those words we all loath
to hear "Excuse me sir, are you driving a blue pickup with a canopy?"
After a long slow sip on my drink I answer yes, and she continues "Ah, I
think your truck has just been hit by a motorhome..." Well I think you can
all imagine the pictures running through my head at this time, but as I ran
outside I found the damage to be minimal, the motorhome had only brushed the
rear bumper. Of course the bumper is bent, and the paint rubbed off, but at
least he didn't hit the body of the truck. The owner of the motorhome had
already left, but he left a note with his card and name and said he will pay
for the damage, but he won't be back home for two weeks.
So now for the estimates... I imagine the motorhome owner is going to be
surprised because I think that the damage is going to cost a lot more than
he expects, it may not look that bad, but I am going to make sure that it is
fixed properly. On the plus side I was already thinking of taking the truck
in to get some rock chips in the paint professionally fixed, so I might as
well do it now.
Sometimes with all the idiots opening doors into my truck, and now this, I
am sure that I am not driving an Intense Blue truck, but one with a big red
bulls eye painted on the side...
