Topic: If it weren't for bad luck

Just got my Ranger back from the garage. New motor, ball joints, control arm. In short, a pile of cash. I figured that since it was running and driving so good I should splurge on a car wash. So , here I am sitting by the dumpster for my mother-in-laws rental,just minding my business and cleaning out the cab and bed when wham, a girl backs into the side of the bed caving in the rear quarter panel. Some days it just doesn't pay to get up. Luckily the damage doesn't affect the driving and she has insurance so now it's off to the body shop and get a quote. And how is everybody else's  day?

Mine is certainly a darn sight better than yours. Got a kiss from a prety girl for a offering a trivial helping hand. wink

Yeah Roger I could use some luck like that. At least as long as the wife didn't find out. Got the quote for the repairs $887.00 Now as long as I don't have any trouble with her insurance company....

It still has the same tranny. My explorer is on the 3rd one. If it`s any consolation,the same explorer has been hit and run 4 times.

Re: If it weren't for bad luck

No I replaced the tranny a couple years ago. It actually runs as good now as when I bought it about 8 years ago.  This is the first accident for it and I'm not in a big hurry to try to keep up with you JJJ.

That's life sometimes.  I know the feeling.

Re: If it weren't for bad luck

Good choices Top. Sometimes you just have to laugh it off. At the very least life has been interesting. Now that I've had some time to cool off  and think about it I'm hoping that from here on out it has to get better. Maybe I had a bunch of bad karma stored up and this is just a test to see if I still have a sense of humor. Well I'm not exactly laughing but nobodies hurt,the truck can be fixed and maybe the young lady who hit me has learned to look before she goes tearing out of places backwards. On the bright side, I had just moved from in front of the area that she hit, so it could have been much worse

Some days you`re a statue. Some days you`re a pigeon. Somedays you`re a hydrant. Some days you`re a dog . You get the idea

Re: If it weren't for bad luck

Somedays you are Captain Crunch!!!!!!!!!!,I had that as a nickname till I was in my thirties,I have been in over 30 accidents. Only 1 that was my fault. Alot of them were on motercycles in bad weather with oil etc on the road. Glad I had a Gumby body then (bendable).
