Lol! Well Eddie...tow bill-$2049, repair bill (parts and labor) $492.91, the load I missed-$350, and some other miscellaneous expenditures related to this whoops(jeans,bandages and wear and tear on my person) I could have easily bought a good used jeep for what this doe did. She didn't scuff the paint or crack the fairing. Virtually no body damage to my truck, but that one line ended up costing this much before it was all said and done. I remember reading not to long ago in Bubbys thread about lead shot that people from California resented being viewed in a negative light by the rest of the country. I understand that has to be frustrating, but this is another example of California legislation force fed to the rest of the country. That line that broke was the result of Calif CARB regs that eventually turned federal mandate. I don't hold all the people in Calif responsible, but I do resent the hell out of the ridiculous regulations that start there and are ultimately mandated for everybody else. These emission regs are costing everyone, not just the transportation industry. Sorry for the rant, but I'm sick of it. This crap has raised operating costs by 25% reduced efficiency by at least that much and the worst part is that its only cleaner on paper. Its a profane joke that everyone suffers for. Since I can't do anything about the vulnerabilities mandated on my truck, all I can do is hope the hunting public has a super successful season. Good hunting folks! At least for as long as you can still do that before its outlawed or regulated to death. Sorry, stepping of the soapbox now. Once again, no hard feeling to Californians, only towards your legislative bodies. Josh
