Colorado B.S. Thread

Looks like a temp to me, not much help though

 

I'm no help on the plate either as the video is too low quality and blown out from the sun..
But what you're looking at is a T1N Sprinter. Highly sought after due to the later models requiring DEF and that whole system.
Anyway, the T1N a 1995-2006 Mercedes Sprinter was sold in North America from 2001-2006 as either Mercedes, Dodge or Freightliner.

You didn't make him stop?

 

yea can't figure out if its a white temp dealer plate or just empty.

i listed it as a dodge in my insurance claim.

he got off on that exit. I couldn't safely get off with the other cars there. i stopped just after the on ramp they got off on and waited about 15 minutes. i figured they just got on the interstate, was merging into the middle lane to go at least a few more exits, so they would need to get back on. guess not.

 

That sucks ass man. Sorry to hear this

 

Yea bummer I was in that accident. Could have been worse. Oh well.

Anyone got any collision shop recommendations for Colorado Springs? USAA is recommending Caliber collision along with a ton of other shops. Anything I need to look out for? Never been in an accident with another vehicle and haven't needed work done before

 

I had a less than optimal experience getting my GTI fixed at the Caliber Collision (It was an Abra Auto Body at the time) in Highlands Ranch. I refused the first fix because the panels were misaligned and then about a year later had to bring it back to have the front bumper cover stripped and repainted because it bubbled and flaked off.

The customer service was exceptional in the sense that they never pushed back and paid for the rental for the respray, but the mechanical work left a lot to be desired.

That was also 4 years ago and a different owner so things may have gotten better. Or way worse.

 

I’m not sure about caliber or how the collision shop business is doing down in the springs, but up in the Denver/Boulder area most shops are weeks to months out for work or even a quote. Sorry you had a run in with that ass.

 

Caliber is a huge chain fyi

 

USPS tracking, for three days it said "waiting for acceptance by USPS, an update will be available soon"
today it's here in town and will be delivered today.

Happy St. Patty's day

 

Good thing I pulled my tie rod ends off to replace last weekend to fix up the tractor steering, still waiting on parts.. Wasn't expecting a foot of snow

 

Irony?

haven't heard this song in years!

 

Anyone available this weekend or before Thursday to help me install a Rhino Rack platform to my soft topper bars? seems like theres only two decent ways to do it. Using Ubolts to connect them or drilling through the rack and through the bars with a nut a washer on the bottom side. Also any input on a better way would be appreciated.

Can pay or provide beer and come to you or you come to me.

TIA

 

So i had another package scheduled for delivery on Monday.
Checked tracking today, and holy crap, it's being delivered today!
I anxiously await it's arrival, saw the postal driver roll thru the hood, did their rounds, stopped at my neighbors house, then he fuckin floors it right past my place and i can hear that little wanna be Jeep redlining down the main street and gone.
I'm like, wtf?
Checked tracking again and now it says delivery for tomorrow.

Dude must have had too much Guinness and corned beef yesterday and felt the need to deal with it all of a sudden.

 

In other news, this is delicious and puts me in a coma for a few hours.
