This is what happens ....

When I let my husband (seabee) drive my truck to morning muster today. I get a phone call about 20 minutes later, and get told that my truck gets damaged.



I've had this truck for 2 years and nothing major has happened to it until now. I'm still trying to figure out how he didn't see the bright Yellow pole that he ran into.

Luckily, our insurance company is great. I have a rental car already set up (although I will miss my truck) and the adjuster will be out on Wednesday to see the damage and see how long it will take to get it fixed.

It wasn't really my bad luck, since I was sound asleep while it happened. Hubby was (and is) still quite upset about damaging my truck.

NOPE!!! the pole didn't budge a bit. I drove by it later in the day with a friend of mine and there's silver paint on it, but didn't move an inch.

I know someone who has a habbit of running into stationary cement post's in parking lots *cough*Dieselfuelonly*cough*, lol.

I guess thats not as bad as me starting my truck to warm it up by standing outside it with my hand pushing the clutch pedal and forgeting to put it in nuetral before I let the clutch out and having the truck walk away into a deck post, lol.

New fender, headlight assy, and bumper and u'll be good to go.

It looks like the truck faired pretty well.

When I was a young boy I remember being at a gas station sitting in the truck while we were fueling up. Some guy in a older Chevy dually whipped in to fill up, well he got a little to close to those poles and tore most of his fender off on the drivers side, I didn't know those "wide hips" were made out of fiberglass.
