Default I broke the golden rule.

Ordered 3/28
Delivered 6/28
Picked up 6/29
And 0n 8/29 Totaled

Iam two blocks from the Hudson River and the 29th was the heighth of the Irene flooding. My wife take my sons friends home who live on the river. Well one of the intersections was dark and four feet of water in it and of course she didnt see that it was water and not road. Rule 1, DONT GIVE HER THE KEY! My insurance settled and reordered my 2011 on 9/2/11. Hopefully it only takes 6 weeks instead of the 14 week tsunami bs this time. I tried taking photos but it was to dark and the truck was black only thing that showed was the red tail lights

Sorry to hear that. Hope everybody is ok. I have 2 roads that go into my neighborhood. There is an old 2 lane road and a dirt road. Living in a flash flood prone area, it can get a little hairy getting home somedays. Best of luck.

Yep, identical twin but this was something her twin would do. I was shocked my mine even tried. So now I can get the Tux black and the rebates are better so I am going to make out better, except the insurance hike.

Have a Famous lunch Hot dog or 9 maybe and a Teds Fish fry relax with a Utica Club things will be fine in the morning. At least you didn't have a boat at the Troy Yacht club and watch them float over the damn.
Grew up in Troy many years ago it is not the same place anymore but it still has a few good spots to eat.

My sister called me a few years ago and told me that the "aladin's lamp" light keeps coming on and asked if it meant anything serious.
