We had a good used Toyota parts place in Colorado Springs; contacting a friend down there to see if they are still around.
You get ahold of something for less than $1000, I'll give you 5% finder's fee. I ain't turnin' up anything.
Yeah, I'm guessing $1200+ for one there before shipping. They all say $call. I'll bite that bullet if I have to, but it's gonna cause some strain. I fucked up and will make it right, but gotta look for the best deal, naturally.
Worst part is, he wants me to match the scratches up.
Moral of this story is, when you're off wheeling in the dark, maybe even while kinda drunk, keep your rear window clear and have good lighting when fuckin' tacos are around.
@Sean the Nailer - This here is the type of responsibility I believe in. He asked me if I wanted to make an insurance claim. That ain't no one's fault but mine, even though his dumbass parked behind me in a black truck when he damn well KNEW I can't see shit out the back AND I'm on a steep incline, AND maybe kinda drunk.
My repair bill is about $30 and a few minutes with a sledge hammer.
I do make some stupid ass mistakes, and it's gonna be a minute before people quit making fun of me for that. Also gonna be a minute before anyone does some dumb shit like park behind me again, too.
