The Conversation Pit
This is where EVERYTHING else goes. No subject is too mundane. How's the weather in your area? Did your kid cut his first tooth? Really, what do you think about the President? And don't get me started on Cummins and Duramaxes. Have at it!

Kind of sucks, but at least nobody got hurt. It's crazy how expensive it is to fix the simplest of things. You just wouldn't think it would be that bad.

Insurance companies can be brutally cheap. When I was handling a bodyshop job, we had a customer with a old Jag XJS, it was low mileage, almost like new, and they wanted to put a used door on the car when I could have gotten a new one for a hundred more, and it would have required far less work to use. Needless to say, I discounted it myself so the customer got what he should have.
Likewise with my wife's car. When someone hit it, my insurance wanted to use salvage parts to repair it. Thankfully, working for a dealership, I got the parts at such a discount it allowed me to have them install mostly all factory parts instead.

It's a shame that when you have a new car/truck, you can't get it fixed to be like the way it was before an accident. It's not like insurance companies are losing money on every customer.
