Some bad luck

Lately I feel like I have been cursed with bad luck or something. My HPOP goes out and I fixed that then an injector. Next it breaks down and had to get a rebuild because a valve dropped and melted to the piston. I just got my truck back running great haven't even put 200 miles on it since I got it back and some drunk teenagers wake me up at 2 in the morning with their parents car they wrecked into my truck parked in the driveway. Even pushed my truck into my wife's SUV.

I need a vacation.

Ehhh no question. Just needed to vent a little which I probably should have somewhere else and not on this forum. Looking at the bright side my wife's SUV needed a new rear bumper anyways which got tore up more from this wreck. Also my suspension and steering was knock out alignment. Kinda had a noise from it before so.

As I see it you got you luck back in the fact that
#1 You were not in the truck and did not get hurt that way
#2 The guy did not push the cars into you house and a room
with people in it and hurt them.

Will they be able to fix the truck and car? I hope the little
turd had coverage for stupid driving. If you want to play
with him make them FIX the truck even if they think it's
cheeper to total it.
