Default hard work to detail is350 and clipped on crown valley

so saturday afternoon i had a tree drop sap on my hood. so i decided to clar bar polish and wax my 350. i spent about 4 hours doing this hearing constant nagging from the chick " are you done yet?". i finally finished and i was stoked. paint looked beautiful. wheels were perfect and the inside was spotless.:approve: the next day i had to go grab something from work, and on my way back a 1997 f250 powerdiesel decided to come into my lane. By the time i noticed what was going to happen it was too late. i sped up so he wouldnt hit my door, but he still manage to side swipe my wheel and fender with his. all the hard work and time spent making my girl pretty and this is what happens...

Ouch, I feel for you. Insurance should take care of it. At least you're okay. This is a chance to get some new rims...
