	I love my Jeep, but I swear, it's a magnet for stupid people. As most of you guys know, I am the resident IT guy for a manufacturing facility. My employer stores large plastic crates in the parking lot that are used to haul around scrap plastic and partially completed parts. These crates are stacked 30-40 feet tall. Apparently, a forklift driver was removing several crates from the top of the stack nearest my car and dropped two or three onto it. He didn't see the need to inform anyone of his little mishap. Luckily, someone else witnessed his screwup and was kind enough to snitch on him. Here's the damage... This is one of the crates that fell on my baby... Scraped paint makes me sad. Denty. More dents. The yellow stuff on the car is shredded plastic from the container. An overview shot. -b0b (...sniffles.)

	Yeah, my employer's insurance will cover it, since the damage was done by an employee using and employee vehicle. That's a burden off my shoulders, since I won't have to fork over the deductable. I still have to find a rental car, which is going to cost me some cash up front. I have a feeling I'm going to have to fight to get that reimbursed, and might get screwed out of it entirely. Last time my car was in for the battle damage caused by the drunk driver, it cost me ~$250.00 to rent a car for four days, and that car absolutely sucked. I'm going to try to get an estimate tomorrow, I'll let you guys know how much it ends up being. I'm guessing $1,750. Anyone else want to take a stab? -b0b (...really didn't need this right now.)

	Where are you going to take it to get fixed? I'm not one to support many thing, esp those that reside in TR. However, everytime I've delt with K&D Body Shop, the work, quality, and speed has been superb. I also like them because they are local and non-chain related. He he...hey bob you remember the chick without insurance who hit my car parked under the parking lot light after we just go out of Kill Bill Vol 2 and almost drove off...wasn't that a fun experience! I had just been in to town for no more than 6 hrs! TR hates me. X

	Come on, Pat, you have to throw out a damage estimate, too! I'd forgotten all about the Kill Bill incident. That was classic! It seems like people just love to run into you and I and pretend like nothing happened. For what it's worth, I completely agree with you about K&D. I've taken my Jeep to them both times it needed repair (deer collision and drunk driver) and they've done superb work both times. It's definitely going back to them this time around! -b0b (...two w00ts for good service.)

It was cold that night but the officer was about to club Bob. Damage cost estimate: $1924.00 Stick (good ol' 1924)

	The grand total is... drum roll please $1,833.67 That means the winner is me, but only by $7.00. Some of you guys were way off... $83.67 - Bob $90.33 - Stick $476.88 - ComputerJuvenile $577.68 - Caitlin $648.00 - Briney (got the cents dead on!) $722.67 - Fatman $983.80 - X In case you guys are interested, the hood was $437.00, the side fender was $217.00, and the "Jeep" nameplate was $217.00. The rest of the price consists of labor, paint, and miscellaneous fees. -b0b (...thanks for playing!)
