This little ding is $3575.

Next time you bitch about the cost of your auto insurance and scream at the blood sucking insurance companies remember they are not the only blood suckers. The body shops factor in as do the hospitals and trial lawyers.  Wayne accident 1.jpg You have insufficient rights to see the content.  Wayne accident 2.jpg You have insufficient rights to see the content.

Btw-

The body shop showed me where the hood was starting to rust. (It is a 2003) so we will have a new hood even though it is an after market part. that is not too bad. Also the head lite lens were frosting over when I bought it. I was thinking about replacing them. I hated the idea of spending $500 to change them. Now it will only cost me $250. Well actually $500 after I have paid the deductible too. 🤦

Which is why I don't have the dings repaired. And, isn't that just like the body shops to point out all the rust spots and things that will "definitely" make your vehicle fall apart within the next 500 miles. So, you better spend $4,000 and get it up to par and you won't be sorry. And....the body shops bank account won't be sorry either.

My wifes' Grand Am has a dent in the roof where an Elk danced a two step on it 4 years ago. Lowest estimate was $2,000 for a new roof panel. Hell with that. When people ask what happened there, we have a heck of a story about "Dancing with Elk" to go along with how that happened. Keeps people laughing for hours, until they realize we are dead serious.
Anyone for a Weenie Roast?

Most of the time I let the dings go. Couldn't this time. The integrity of the hood is compromised. I would hate to have it come flying up and hit the windshield when my wife is driving down the road. If she survived she would come home and beat me with a stick for being a cheap sob. Besides, she wants her "pretty car" back.

Hey Wayne....they have a product out that you just wipe on "fogged" car lenses and it takes the fog off. I wish i could remember the name of the stuff, but i know they have it at Walgreens. A friend of mine used it and was pleasantly surprised at the results.

Now for my "animal" stories. I hit a big buck that was crossing Hwy 141 back in the late 1980's when we lived in Pembine Wisconsin. I was driving up to "Iron-on Mountain" to pick my wife up at work. It was Halloween night (of all nights). The buck was running down the shoulder of the road the same direction i was driving. I came around the bend going 55, and there he was. Before i could even hit the brakes, he jumped onto the road in front of me, hit a patch of ice and was going down when i hit him. He hit the bumper, flew around in the air, and ran off into the woods. No real damage on my car at all.
Also had another one come running down a hill, and was headed straight for the side of my car, but fell down before it could run into me.
Also last year just missed hitting a bear crossing the road by Crivitz Wi.

One of the strangest things was, a few years ago, driving on I-43 headed up north, a bird flew out from the right side of the car, across the windshield, and made a direct hit on my driver's side mirror, taking it right off the car.

I've had more close calls with deer then i could count. For the most part though, i've been pretty lucky that way.
Even had what i consider my "guardian angel" warn me of one once. I was driving about a mile from home, when this voice said "don't go over 45MPH, there's going to be a deer crossing the road ahead". It was 55mph speed limit on this road, and that's what i always did, 55. Well, at first i "poo poo'ed" it away, but figured maybe i should listen. I drove for the mile, at 45, and a deer ran right in front of the car. Had i been doing 55, i would have hit it.
Strange, but totally true.

Cheesey strange but true I have stuff like that happen all the time. Told my kids to pay attention and they say it happens to them too.

Anti fogging stuff may work on the exterior of the lens but when the moister is inside the lens it won't work.
