Fellow is super torqued, though. Maybe it is the boss’s truck.

It happened because there are no trees. If there were trees he would have been more alert as one must watch for the constant horror of squirrels falling out of them onto your windshield.

Now you know.

OK, did you use Grok, Gemini or Perplexity AI to generate that summary?

$8,000 PLUS a big jump in insurance rates for three years.

Probably isn't his truck.

That Roll-Off seems to have been illegally parked.

No excuse to hit it but his insurance company will probably be going after the owner for paying for any repairs.
