OH! ...and about my truck...
« on: April 20, 2010, 11:21:35 PM »

  Most of you know the basic story; I went to sleep, drove off a cliff and totaled my Tundra. It was a 2007 Electric Blue Toyota Tundra SR5 double-cab, long bed, 2WD w/tow package with close to 80k miles on it (I put all but 8 miles on it; it was brand new).
  My insurance cut me a check for $26,xxx.00.

  After looking high and low, I found a 2007 Midnight Blue Toyota Tundra SR5 double-cab, long bed, 4WD, with only 10,601 miles on it - for $27K  :-D

  I havent done the maths yet, but it seems like I actually made money from wrecking my truck and buying this new one; once you factor in the differences in mileage and the upgrade features. Too bad it gets blown on the $293 ticket!

Don't care how the math works out... would still rather you never went through that.

It's nice to hear an insurance experience where you at least get a decent car for your totaled one.  Oh and what Ivan said.

I'm just happy that it's blue.  But then, I'm shallow.

I'm just happy he lived through it. Life would be dull without 12.
