My turn. =(
Hadn't even been at the office for 10 in when a lady came in to tell me that she backed into my car... At least she was nice enough to tell me =) The damage wasn't that bad, really.

She drive a truck? Seems like she just hit the taillight only...
Insurance claim, and then get Tom's or Valentis instead!

I actually prefer the stock tails and since she was so nice and actually took it upon herself to tell me she did it (she could have easily just drove away and I would have never known it was her), I decided to let her decide if she wanted to pay for it out of pocket or report to insurance. She wanted to pay for it out of pocket, so I decided to get her the cheapest price.
Good people are hard to come by, so I like to reward those that do. |

They actually only would have quoted me for a set. I discussed this with one of our friends who is an insurance agent. Total damage with bumper repairs came to $762.62, which is less than a new set of after market lights alone, so...

It's sad to see what the world has come to when you feel like you have to reward someone for doing the right thing.
