Today is Wednesday 07/16/2008 and here we sit with no truck and no Designer, both of which are being repaired...
On our way back from the west side of Michigan on Sunday (07/06) we were about 20 miles from home on the local freeway when all of a sudden the wife hears brakes squealing and less than 5 seconds later a car spins out of control and slams into the driver's side door of our truck, proceeds to bounce down along the truck, hits the front edge of the Designer and nicks the back of the Designer...driver of the other car says he was cut off by someone else...I don't believe that and think he came up on us, saw we were going slower because of towing, changed lanes and all of a sudden saw a car in that lane...anyways both wife and I are fine but the truck had ~ $5,400 in damage and not sure about how much damage to the Designer (dealer subsequently told me the frame was fine so that calmed me down a bit)...amazing how the truck took a direct hit from a car (small by the way) going 60+ mph and the truck hardly moved...if they had hit the Designer instead might of been a different story as the possibility of rolling might of happened...sad thing here is in Michigan everyone has no-fault insurance which means for us is that even though we were not at fault we still have to make a claim on our own insurance (and pay any deductibles) for the repair of the truck and the Designer...
Has not been fun having no truck and no Designer to do anything with...all plans have been cancelled until...may get the truck back by the end of next week...not sure when the Designer will come back...
Hope everyone else is doing fine...
