Those of you in NJ/NY know today has been windy and rainy. I got up this morning and blacklsc1 and I pulled a rear diff. for his toy. That's was not so bad. I then drove an hour north and traded the wife's forester for my "BRAND NEWISH" 2006 Navigator. (pics to come) So i pull it into my driveway just in time to see half of a tree (literally) fall onto my F-150 (pics also to come) and destroy my fenceline. Now, the worst part is i have only had the truck for a couple weeks and haven't tagged/titled/insured it yet!!! USAA said they may still cover it under my 30-day window, but an adjuster will decide that. Where the hell is the rewind button?:(

why did you not insure the truck when you got it?

You should be good under the 30 day mark as long as the insurance co. is reputable. that's crazy to watch that happen like that!?!

This weather sucks. Winds are up to 45 mph they say. Sorry to hear about your truck dude.

A tree fell across my road across the street from my neighbor's house. A backhoe came and pushed it down toward the train tracks.

This is why no-one visits me. My bad luck is highly transferrable. :D Sorry to hear that dude. Is the paint ok?

You say USAA, are you military?

Yeah. Air Force. USAA has been pretty good to me so far. I should know if they'll cover it on Mon. or Tue. They might total it. I got a pretty good look at it with a flashlight a little bit ago and it needs: both fenders, grill, headlights, passenger door, hood, and windshield. possibly front suspension issues, too. :( If they give me a check, i'll install headlights and a windshield. :D Or i might pull the 5.0 for a rebuild project and run the rest across a scale. It has 218k miles on it and not worth the full rebuild.

I got some pictures a few min ago. The truck is definitely being totalled. I didn't realize the damage to the roof, hood and bumper were so bad. Also throwing in a pic of the "new" Navigator. http://i561.photobucket.com/albums/ss55/micahsfamily/Storm%20pics-%2013%20Mar%202010/016-6.jpg
