Friday last week, the wife and I were going into downtown Stuart to an Artwalk then we were going to walk to dinner in downtown.
As soon as we roll into downtown, I stop to let a pedestrian use a crosswalk and get rear ended.
The girl that hit us was maybe 20 years old, shaking like a leaf, she was looking to the left to make sure she could go and thought I went, did not realize I stopped for the really poorly placed crosswalk.
She drove into me never hitting the brakes. We exchange info. I spend the weekend shopping for bumper parts, all the parts I need ran $1,100. Then the shipping, our host here will not even ship the bumper, pick up only. ECS and Turner parts too, sadly neither one had all I needed so 2 orders. $400 in shipping!!
Plus some sheet metal damage, going to see if the paintless dent removal guy can do his magic.
As I add this all up, it will top $2K with paint and addressing the dent in the sheet metal. I had the most profitable year last year ever and this year is shaping up to be more of the same. I am going to tell the girl to pick one, pay the dent guy or the paint guy and we will call it even.
