What A Week

[JDM]

So you all know that I dented Joe's (2003Eclipse) door...

well Saturday night I'm putting a squad truck away, backing into a garage. I'm checking the left side to ensure proper clearance when.... *crunch*

Took the passenger mirror apart, and the NEW keypad on the NEW city garage. :headache:


Not a huge deal.

The reason I had to drive the truck was because the day before, the regular squad over heated because the fans weren't working. I told the guy at the city garage to check the fan. So instead, he replaces the alternator, thermostat, O2 sensors (why?), and get's a new computer. I check the plug on the fan and see it's loose and melted. I tell him, and he responds with "that's how they're supposed to look". So he splashed more coolant in, and I limped it back to the garage through State fair traffic. All the while billowing white smoke out of the grill.

BTW, He's replacing the fan on Tuesday.


So on Sunday I'm responding to a parking complaint on a busy street, put all the bright pretty lights on, and as I'm getting ready to get out of the SAME truck, the truck lunges forward, and *crunch* *snap* *pop* *clink, clink, clink*

That's right, someone sideswiped my squad truck.

DO YOU HAVE ANY IDEA HOW MUCH PAPER WORK THAT IS???

Regular Report, State Accident Report, Personal Injury Report, Damage to City Property Report, Suppliamental personal statement, and insurance claim report.

3 hours, my friends. 3 Hours.

Not to mention I had to wait for another agency to come take the report. :razz2:

No real damage to the truck though... lucky for that guy.

He tore off his passenger side mirror, and totalled the right side of his car, head light, f quarter panel, both passenger doors, the passenger window, the rear quarter, bumper, right rear hubcap and rim... bout 5k worth of cosmetic work. Poor guy :stick:


So how exactly do you miss seeing a 5200lb flashing red and blue lights truck with:

P O L I C E

in big orange letters on the back, and the Arrow stick?


Geez :headache: :headache:

When I was 17 I ran into some detective in Maple Grove. He was in some unmarked black Lumina. Whoops. All I did was fuck up his hubcap, and leave a blue streak on the side of his rear bumper.

Careful Kyle, keep this up and you may end up a flatfoot or bike patrol
