May need more than one can, and of course the labor.
I'll say $4372.56 out the door.

As to the appointment for a adjuster, it's summer and they have government jobs. Holidays. c'est la vie

Known the owners for over 30 years. The current owner learned the business from his father and he and his wife bought the business from his parents when they retired. They do excellent work. They are closing down for holidays for two weeks in that period. I can wait, as it will look factory when I get it back.

I was doing some reading and "leaving the scene" is 10 points so the kid will have 24 points. Not sure how much his licence will cost but I'm guessing $3,000.

Here's a PFD on how it works here: https://www.mpi.mb.ca/en/PDFs/DSRBrochure.pdf

Pretty though but why should I pay for some Yahoo wearing a baseball cap the wrong way and texting while he drive...

I think giving people a strong financial incentive to drive safely is a great idea. I don't know how you would implement it with multiple insurance companies, and I don't like the idea of a only single insurance company to choose from.

There is an insurance company in Quebec (Save on Car Insurance with Ajusto Technology from Desjardins | Ajusto) that will reduce you rate up to 25% discount base on you driving using a black box monitoring system. Probably not a good idea for a P car or for the paranoid.

The black box records data about how much conservative talk radio you listen to and this data is reported back to the IRS so that you can be targeted for selective persecution / audits. No thanks.

Insurance in and of itself is socialization of risk. We just feel superior because we get to pay big rates to keep all the blue suits dressed nicely.

No, that has been already cover by the NSA, unknown to you, had the "free option" installed on all car build in America...

Land of the free, oh well ;)

Back from the insurance adjuster.......they are replacing the box side (internal structure damage).

The total damage is $4966.57 (taxes in)

Wow!
It is pretty easy to remove those fender skins.

Edit: The price is about right for that amount of work.
I was trying to say that it is easier to re skin that fender rather than try to repair it.
Cheers!

I was within $1,000...

Wait, was there an oil spill? Add $10k and eff you for not maintaining your truck.

Missed it by 700!

Is that cdn or 'murrican?

I'm sorry that I was so close. That's a shame, and I hope you don't have trouble being made whole.

CDN. This week the Greenback is worth a bit more. Next week it could be the other way around. :)

I'm whole now. I didn't get hurt, so my only out of pocket is my time. Police report (they came to me), drive to see adjuster (8 minutes from my house), two trips to the body shop (9 minutes from my house and I like them).

The day I take it in to be fixed there will be a rental truck waiting for me (0 cost to me) and I made arrangements with the shop to paint the other side of the truck (there is a few scratches on the top rail of the box and a couple of stone chips). So the whole back of the truck will look new. As the decal on the side will be replaced the truck will get a upgrade from 4 X 4 to Z71 :)
