On today's episode of "Well ****..."
Was leaving the shop after giving the GMC a fresh oil change and tank of gas. Crusing down the highway at 65, late model Infinity SUV infront of my slams on their brakes, apparently there was a car dead stopped in the right lane of the highway.
Guess what doesn't stop as fast as a new SUV? This GMC...
Lady who was stopped in the highway turns off, stops, then immediately flees from the wreck.
Since I hit the Infiniti, I was ruled at fault. Even got a sweet $140 ticket to show for it.
Drove the truck back to the shop after the police report, immediately started tearing it down. Drivers frame horn / weld on bumper bracket took the brunt of the impact.
I'll have to pickup the following for it:
Grille
Bumper assembly
Radiator support
Power Steering Cooler assembly
Driver's side frame mounted bumper bracket (with some frame straightening)
Driver's side headlight mounting bracket.
I'm not going to claim insurance to pay for the truck, as my insurance will likely total this truck and I don't want it to have a salvage title.
