What did you do to your non-G body project today? [2020]

[pontiacgp]

He blew a stop light while making a right turn and pulled into my lane. There are four lanes, two each direction. I'm in the left hand lane. I move into the right hand lane and as I'm passing him, he pulls into me. Had to steer into it to keep the truck straight while he jerked back but by then the damage was done... The area I work is still going full tilt basically. Manufacturing area of the city and we're all "essential" it seems.

I hope the guy has insurance to cover your damages...

Yep, he has State farm. State trooper gave him a ticket. Yet when I was was speaking with State Farm this afternoon starting my claim, the lady said well we need statements from both drivers to determine liability. I said it's your driver's fault, hence he was given a ticket. Her reply verbatim "No that's third party we want to hear it from the driver's themselves." So you don't trust or believe a state trooper? That ticked me off and I excused myself from the phone call before things got real heated.

Guess the police report is not needed then since she doesn't trust the "third party" who has the power to issue fault.

Try that in traffic court. In my limited experience, a police report on paper carries more weight than the average citizen who disagrees with it on the stand.

I can speak to that, one time while going to work in the slow lane because I knew the cops sat around there I was quickly passed by a kid trying to show off because I was in the GTO. I nicely asked the officer if he was sure it was me he clocked speeding because there was a car that blew by me, he said that I looked to be going faster and thats all that counted. While I have quite a few friends that are on the force, this area is very well known for stretching the truth to fit what the officer needs for probably cause.

Brakes and oil change on the daily driver

What's your daily? A sleigh?

Just got the call from State Farm. They are accepting 100% responsibility for the accident and I just have to get my truck fixed. Yay

Parts came in, knocked the restoration out in an hour. New cast iron grills, new flame arrestor, and a new burner. She's now on her third life.

Rusty, greasy, and gross trash to the curb.

Changed the seat belt latch receiver on the driver side on my 2010 GMC Sierra. Had to remove the seat to get to it, although there were some people that say they could just put the seat all the way back to get the panel off and change it out. On a 2010 crew cab with the center seat, that's some BS. You have to take the seat off the mounts to get to it. PITA. While I was in there, I found out the seat rear screw jack to raise and lower the rear of the seat was, well, jacked up. Didn't know it until I tried to raise the seat all the way up to get to the floor mount bolts. The bracket was bent and misaligning the screw drive, and not allowing the motor to turn the gears to raise or lower the seat rear. So, I got to fix that, probably tomorrow.
