Well *sigh* I was just about ready to put my car in a show for the first time until this morning...
I was driving Northbound on a road that runs by a landfill. A truck turned out of the landfill in front of me. It wasn't close enough for me to hit the brakes, but as it past me (coming head on) all this crap fell off the back of the truck and bounced right off my hood. I just thought it was dirt and kept heading to work (first day back from vacation and I was running late, of course). Well, after work I had to go pick up my new cell phone and as I was getting home my phone rang. I wandered around my driveway talking to my friend about his weekend escapades, and as I turned I almost dropped the phone. I've got large pings (golf ball sized) and scratches down to the metal. I've already called the insurace company and filed a claim, I have to wait for them to call me back tomorrow. They said I should call the landfill and try to find the driver of the truck that was leaving the dump at 6:40 this morning.
I can already imagine that conversation:
me: "one of your trucks f'd up my car yesterday when debris fell off it"
them: "haha, that's funny, we don't have garbage trucks here"
me: "what!?!"
them: "yea, we're just a landfill"
me: "..." angrily loading .357 to take out some garbage trucks.
Anyways, I already know what's gonna happen... I'll have to pay the deductible ($250) have the hood bondo'd and repainted, be without the car for a while, and miss the show I've been waiting so long to put the car in.
This sucks.
