I mean, I saw my truck.  I inspected it.  The shit is fucked up, bad.  I didn&#8217;t think there was any way it could be fixed for a reasonable amount of money.<\/p>\n<p>But my insurance company is willing to spend $2300.  This was a big surprise to me&#8211;I thought I was only covered up to $1600.  Oh well, I&#8217;m not going to argue.  The thing that I find peculiar is this: the body shop that I took my truck to has quoted *exactly* $2300 to fix the damage.  Doesn&#8217;t that sound a little odd to you?  This is the body shop that my insurance company insisted that I take my truck to.<\/p>\n<p>Let&#8217;s recap.  Someone hits my truck and diasppears.  I call insurance company and they say to take it to ABC body shop.  ABC body shop says they can fix it.  My insurance company says that they&#8217;ll cover $2300.  ABC body shop quotes exactly that amount, $2300.<\/p>\n<p>What a scam.  Whatever, it doesn&#8217;t cost my anything.  I never really cared about my truck&#8217;s looks anyway.  All I ever wanted was a reliable truck.  I hope that after I get it back it still is.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>They&#8217;re going to fix my truck!
