This is why I don't complain to often.. it can always get worse.. haha
Soo.. I was on here ranting just a few days ago saying how bad my luck was now that my ST hit 116+k miles.. things that broke and asking if I should fix her up
So I was taken out by the God of Trac's, this morning.
While getting on the highway in a very bad Thunder/Lightening down pour.. my ST with, reasonably good tires, decided to spin backwards through 3 lanes, the median (taking out a post for speed limit sign - but sign still up and undamaged) and ended up in oncoming traffic's fast lane. No one hurt only my truck.. ( + my underpants) :blink:
I again, am begging for advice on this one.
Not to be late for my 8:30 work appt, I threw her in 4x4, beasted the swampy saturated median (which kept me from rolling in my $.02) and got back on highway to finish my commute.
No cops, No one hurt, no tickets.. etc
So again:
I have full coverage, and a small list of previous small costly repairs (see link to last post)
What got taken out this morning:
One center cap (Buy Where?)
Taillight (just bought on eBay)
Bumper's "Stomp pad" - think I can salvage bumper cover (Buy where?)
Tailgate - possibly (cant open to inspect yet)
Pice de rsistance and most expensive:
Rear quarter panel :angry:
Options:
Fix it out of pocket with, ebay parts and suck up to few body shop guys to make it "ok"
Will my insurance cover this?
- How bad do you think my rates will go up, for first accident in 10 years. Geico
-If insurance is paying for it, will they fix other body/cosmetic problems at same time?
Find a dealer with a used ST and see how many rolls of nickels I can get for trade in?
Invest in a brick/ duct tape and find rickety bridge? lol
When it "rains" it "pours", :blink:
Luckiest Man Alive (Driving home, Im expecting tranny to seize) lol
Thanks for any advice!!
