Well bad just got worse. 
On my way home from Work last Friday at 3:07pm on El-camino-real a Santa Clara city work truck desides he wants to be in my lane and side swipes me. Breaking my Mirror, denting my driver side door, and small rear door and scrapping up my rear fender. Thats another $500 I have to break for to pay my deductable. 
All is good though we are in good spirits and smiling. Can't break my spirit.

It was his fault but he lied and said I went into his lane and hit him. The girl driving a Honda didn't stop and kept driving. She was the only witness. The police said he can't find who is at fault . Yes Sack, we need to hang out.

On second thought, my car won't be canyon certified until May anyway, so Sunnyvale/Milpitas won't be much of a drive. I need to get a new tires, an alignment done, try to eliminate the gear oil smell, decide what I'm going to do with my marbles if anything, and finish some left over paint work. Currently I'm considering the Falken Azenis RT615s in addition to my other traditional choices. The RT615s I'm actually considering in the 235/40 size which is kind of weird coming from a stickler like me.
