    Bought a bottle of Toyota Touch up paint in Speedway Blue:

    I thought I'd touch up a couple scratches on the good 'ol truck after spending Friday afternoon and Saturday morning installing my new OME 884X's and @HeadStrong Off-Road 3 leaf AAL's and gaining a cool 2" of lift:

    All is good when I go snowboarding on Sunday. Truck rides nice and looks good.

    Now I'm headed home on Highway 17A, then BAM! I get t-boned by a Nissan Xterra pulling out of a restaurant parking lot!!!

    Xterra didn't fare too well... the whole front end caved in. The right and left front fender wells were jammed up against his tires.
    I believe the radiator was leaking all over the parking lot.

    The cop and I went to pick up all the little Xterra pieces in the middle of the road.

    Xterra had to wait for a tow. Cop told me this was a slam dunk that Xterra was at fault and sent me home.
    I went home to grab a beer. Called my insurance agent from home. Tomorrow, I get a whole new right side of a truck.

    Damn... that suck! Yeah, that's about as much of a slam dunk liability case as you can get... next to a rear-end accident.

    Good luck with the claim, let me know if you think you're getting any bad info during the process.
