^^^ Good for you! ^^^

Changing the subject, my local dent Dr. has amazed me with how they can pop out almost any dent and buff off the marks ...may be too much, but could be work checking with a local one if you have them in your area.

Got a 88 Eldorado in Dec 87, by June 89, she had 3 "not my faults". The day she got behind wheel of 10 Corvette, told her I didn't care if she could drive a stick, if she moved it, I was gone! She has driven truck 1 time, although I was following her, I sweated of 10lbs? I might love her, but her driving is scary as hell... but, it's only a truck, don't sweat the small stuff, threaten to buy a new one if she hurts the present one.

Treat for truck???? That's a tough choice for me? but then the VA says I'm "bipolar" and the wife says I'm selfish! So.... she gets the passenger seat, and I treat myself!!!? 

(Don't pay me no mind, got mental issues)

I don't let my wife drive mine, she's had too many incidents in the past with vehicles.

Received a quote from the GM dealership.

 

4 grand!

 

wow, was going to pay for this out of pocket so it wouldn't ding my insurance, but that's way more than I was expecting.

Like I always say. A hooker may seem expensive initially, but long term it is always the cheaper option. 

well if you're going down that road, one of those super creepy Japanese sex dolls and a nice set of VR goggles would be even cheaper long term

Get quotes from other collision repair facilities.  I have been in a similar situation and found quite a variety in pricing.  I also discovered some will sharpen their pencils when it is coming out of pocket.

I would not go to a dealer for body work unless it was somehow under warranty.

Find a local body/collision shop with good reviews. I'd bet they will give you a better price, like Donstar said.

If this helps it could have been worse.

My wife has driven one of my trucks less than a handfull of times in 30 years and those were due to unusual circumstances.

I'm lucky because she is scared to drive them.

 

:)

 

Mine too. :thumbs: At least I think it's the truck...hum. :fume: Kidding :lol:

Yikes.   Sorry about that.  But I agree about getting some other quotes from reputable shops.  And do tell them this is cash out of pocket.

 

The math is easy.   If you file a claim, this’ll cost $8000+ by the end of five years, factoring premium increases.   But sometimes it’s cash flow.

Bingo never again will I have a dealer do body work, just a shitty rushed job.

      It was never mandated.  Ever.    Automakers were incentivized to install it by getting CAFE credits to help with their vehicle fleet fuel economy scores.  They were being handed money/CAFE credits to install it.  Which is NOT a mandate.       The current admin removed the incentives that were behind them installing it.

      5 Best Slide Down Gameplay Tips! 

      By lanaderay · Posted

      Are you playing Slide Down endlessly but your score is still low? Are you constantly crashing into obstacles as the game speed increases? Don't worry, this article will share 5 invaluable tips to help you master the race and impress your friends. Golden Rules 1. Look one step further. The mistake of 90% of new players is only staring at their character. The secret of experts is to look towards the top of the screen (where the slide is about to appear). This gives your brain an extra 0.5 - 1 second to process the situation and determine the direction of movement before the obstacle approaches. 2. Use gentle movements; don't swipe too hard. Slide Down is very sensitive. Moving your finger too forcefully or with excessive amplitude will cause your character to be thrown off course or crash into a wall. Practise moving your finger with small, decisive, and precise movements. 3. Don't be greedy for gold in dangerous locations. Gold coins are tempting for buying skins, but life is more important. If you see a gold coin right on the edge of a cliff or next to a spike trap, ignore it. Our goal is a High Score, and your score only increases if you survive. 4. Make the most of Power-ups. During the slide, you'll encounter items like Magnets (attract gold) or Shields (temporary invincibility). Never miss them! Especially the Shield, it's your "get out of jail free card" to help you get through those deadly fast sections. 5. Stay calm when speed peaks. When your score exceeds 500 or 1000, the game speed will be very fast. At this point, don't try to think logically; let your natural reflexes work. Take deep breaths and don't panic. Apply these 5 tips to your next game, and your leaderboard will surely improve dramatically. Good luck climbing the Slide Down leaderboard!

      Why I Recommend a Desiccant Air Dryer for Cleaner, Drier Compressed Air

      By lingyuair · Posted

      If you use compressed air regularly, one problem you cannot ignore is moisture. Water in the air line can cause rust, unstable air pressure, poor tool performance, and even damage to sensitive equipment. That is why I highly recommend using a desiccant air dryer. A desiccant air dryer is designed to remove moisture from compressed air by using drying materials such as activated alumina or molecular sieve. Compared with basic water separators, it can achieve much lower dew points, making it especially useful for applications that require dry and stable air. For workshops, painting systems, pneumatic tools, CNC machines, laser cutting equipment, and industrial production lines, a desiccant air dryer can make a big difference. It helps protect equipment, improve air quality, reduce maintenance costs, and extend the service life of the whole compressed air system. Another advantage is reliability. Many desiccant air dryers are built for continuous operation and can maintain stable drying performance even in demanding environments. For users who care about long-term efficiency and equipment protection, this is a smart investment. When choosing a desiccant air dryer, I suggest paying attention to air flow capacity, working pressure, dew point performance, regeneration method, and maintenance requirements. A good model should match your compressor system and actual air consumption. Overall, if moisture is causing problems in your compressed air system, a desiccant air dryer is definitely worth considering. It is practical, efficient, and highly useful for anyone who needs clean, dry, and reliable compressed air.

      My brand new 2007 Silverado's wax frame was rust from end to end partway through it's SECOND winter here in MA. That stuff is completely useless.

      I went another direction after losing a trailer tire, thanks to not being able to access air at ANY of the 5 gas stations and garages I stopped at prior, with a Toyota Tacoma onboard, 50 miles from the Canadian border. They were either out of order, access was blocked, or the hose a few feet too short and I couldn't get any closer without risking damage to someone's property.   https://postimg.cc/gallery/X5QJ55w
