No two ways, something was gettin' torn-up today

[mykturk]

Well we had to keep True home from school today for a doctors appointment. Afterwards we drop off his Rx and go to get a bite to eat. So we're heading back to the pharmacy, sitting at a stoplight... Bump. Cindy looks over, "Not again." Yep, we've been rear ended again, so the light turns green and we go threw and the car that hit us follows us over to the shoulder. I hop out and check the damage. There's the slightest impression of the screw head from their license plate, barely there, nothing more. The driver is married to my old art teachers son and she has a sick kid in the car as well. Almost no harm done so we said not to worry and are on our way. Pick up Truewill's prescription and head home. Look the Caliber over again and, if you don't know where to look, you can't find the damage. Alright! So Cindy heads off to work and I'm waiting for Evan's bus to arrive... About 2:10, almost right on time the bus pulls up and, does this to my truck...



Good stinking gravy! So, for about 45 minutes there's a bus with unhappy special needs kids sitting in front of my house while the police write up a report. I really felt bad for the driver, never had an accident till now. And the poor kids stuck on the bus. The parents of those same kids, I know how worried I get when the bus is late... So it's off to a couple of body shops for estimates on replacing the front bumper and fixing the fender... Like I said. Something was getting torn up today, it's just that simple.

this was another of GM's mistakes... restyling the Blazer/S-10. This is a near timeless design like the Ranger. They changed it into the Colorado (complete with stadium racer wheel well openings)...

stop typing and go FIX IT! ;D

Too bad yur way up in Alton, Ill. ( I'm from Lake Co. Ill. area originally...)... Now down in Fla. I happen to have two complete front ends. just like yourz, sept one is an "Extreme" ( SS Type ), and the other a 99 w/ cowl hood !! I'd let you have it for next to nothing....I haven't needed them up to this point !!!
But you shouldn't have much of a problem finding a front bumper for that one either... But if all else fails, let me know, and I can git one up to ya....

Some days it doesn't pay to get out of bed!!!

I can relate to you bro, I hit a deer on the way to work a couple years ago and while my car was in the shop getting repaired I borrowed my wife's car and hit another deer 1/2 mile from the first one, within the same week!!!!

PS - I didn't hit the deer.....it ran into me!
