My wife's Honda was totaled Tuesday of last week. So I've been driving the Camaro daily and she's been taking my truck to work while we are car shopping. This morning she left, opened the garage door and yelled for me. The tone of her voice told me it wasn't good. I ran outside and we found my truck in my driveway on blocks with all the wheels and lug nuts missing. All of them. Apparently they needed them for their truck. I had to take her up to borrow her mom's Accord and I spent the morning chasing down parts. I'll have the new wheels tomorrow and tires as well. $3386 is the total for wheels, lug nuts, tire pressure monitor valves, and replacement tires for the ones I bought in November. Fucking awesome.

Damn shame about your wheels. That odd they went after the dime-a-dozen 18'' wheels. I thought you had factory 22" wheels perhaps.

Insurance is covering your $3300 bill correct? Minus your deductable

Yea, I didn't want the 20" wheels. I knew I'd be in some mud and the thinner tires can allow the wheel faces to get scratched as they churn through mud. The 18" has more protection for the wheels and makes a wider hole that the wheel fits down into without damage. Heck, the wheels usually don't get dirty (unless something splashes up onto them). I also didn't think they would be a "target".

Yes, insurance is reimbursing me. And I don't have a deductible. (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/wink.gif)

I wasn't sure what would cover it or what the deductible would be when it happened (Home owners insurance? etc). But I knew I needed to order some wheels. It did fall under comprehensive. Ultimately I'll be fine, I'm just pissed. It really disrupted my schedule, made us both late for work, caused me to spend the morning chasing parts and then work late to make it up (when I should have been on OT), etc. Right now the truck is still on blocks in my driveway (waiting on parts, and my new HD camera system to arrive). And, I hate thieving assholes. (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/wink.gif)

My wife said "I haven't had to borrow my mom's car since I was a teenager". We're both irritated that we had to borrow it now. We had 3 cars....
