need a plate run. just had a hit and run...

I think he is referring to a happy ending, or extra sugar at the coffee shop.

I know what he's referring to-just can't believe that really happens. lol

UPDATE: USAA is paying the claim and is mailing me a check for what the estimate showed. I've never had it done this way so I assume that if the total cost is higher, the shop will just contact USAA?

I need some body shop recommendations now so I can get this done! Anyone have a recommendation in the HEB area?

Thanks!

LOL Reminds me of a story recently told by a LEO friend of ours. Apparently a co-worker of my wife was talking at work that her husband got a DWI a few weeks back while driving them home after a late dinner/night out. She was upset about it and stuff. Our LEO friend who was there asked her if she offered to do anything about it then? Her reply was, "What do you mean?" He said, "You know. Did you offer to DO SOMETHING to help right then."

The conversation went on for a while with her saying, "What could I have done? My husband was right there!" Anyway, LEO friend says that it's the norm for women to offer up to get out of something (or their spouse) and that apparently most people take them up on it.

Several years ago I was working midnights on the SE side of town. A nice 4door BMW was southbound on MLK going from lane to lane. It almost sideswiped a truck and when the truck slowed down, the driver started pointing frantically at the car like I had no clue it was there.

I made a stop and the driver was a VERY hot 34 yoa woman wearing a black cocktail dress. Not just hot, OMG hot. I asked for her DL, and she handed me a Visa card that it took her about 3 minutes just to get it out of her wallet. I could smell the odor of alcohol and it was apparent that she could not focus on the wallet to find her DL.

I called for a DWI officer and when he arrived, the SFSE began. He had to take off her heels to attempt the walk and turn. She almost fell several times, and was too intoxicated to complete the test. After the officer handcuffed her, she asked him who was in charge. The DWI officer looked at me, and then she looked at me, bent over at the waist to show her boobage and said "I'll do ANYTHING"... The funny thing is the whole thing was video/audio taped and when I looked back at the tape, you see me taking about 3 steps back. I told the officer it was time to transport her, and I waited on the wrecker.

There is nothing that she could offer that would remotely tempt me into throwing away a 30 year career. I've had people hand me $20, $50, and $100 bills folded up behind their driver's license to get out of tickets. I know exactly what that is for, but I always break the ice by saying "oh look, you had some money stuck to the back"....

What a cool way to go about it, rather than being a complete dick.
Also, taking it, and quietly walking back to the car would be an accepted response.

What cheap ass hands you a $20? I'm broke as a mother fucker, and would think $50 minimum, or maybe two $20's.

Oh, so that's what happens when you try to bribe a cop... always wondered what would happen.

The first time it happened a guy from Pennsylvania handed me a $50 folded under his license. As soon as you touch it you can tell there's something back there. I wasn't so cool that first time. I turned it over immediately and said "what is this" while looking at the guy. I could not believe that he just tried to bribe me. He told me that it's standard practice "back home". I lost my composure and said "are you fucking kidding me?" He said that it's basically an accepted practice.

I just let the guy go, and warned him if he ever did that with a Trooper, he could expect a trip to jail.

I did some talking with some old heads, and was told that it was true. Up there the supervisor is in charge of checking out the radar units, so they get a kickback from the officers. If the officer doesn't pay the supervisor, the supervisor won't let them have a radar. How fucked up is that????

I busted up a party in an office over here. Drunk bosnian chick goes "sir, sir, can we just go talk about this alone." To answer the question, "NO, I am going on R&R in two days." lol

Leah, hope they used an actual body shop estimate to cut you that check. My wife smashed up my truck requiring a new frame. Long story short. They cut us a check for frame replacement, I got home and put the bumper back on and everything is good as new.

Yeah, Craig's Collision if I recall correctly. Damages were like $1k. Once the check comes we will see how much of it can be buffed out.
