Best day (life): Birth of my daughter/getting married (close tie)
Worst day (life): Getting the call that my grandmother had died

Best day (car): Will be in about 4 months, when I've paid it off
Worst day (car): Not my vehicle, but still bad: totaled a lady's Camaro with a Freightliner box truck. New Years Eve 2001.

Best car day - I guess the day I drove the car off the lot for less than invoice

Worst car day: We have a tie here. The time I rear ended my buddy in his Integra, and the time when my right quarter panel got mauled by an SUV on the freeway. (Technically, the latter is the reason I have my SRT rear fasica, so I guess the first one wins).

Best car day : the look on my friends face when i put bus lengths on him and looking at his face when we stop. LOL his old car beating his new car. N/A FC3S vs my DC

worst car day : i have 2, either when i was chasing my friends crx in my saab and his tire broke the bead from the rim and we had to drive 50mi round trip to get his spare at home. or when i broke my timing belt and had to leave my car in oakland overnight.

best day : finally being able to drive legally.... there is probably more but i cant think of any right now
worst day : finding out my dad passed away when i was only 7 years old....

Even more glad that since it was a work truck, my insurance didn't take the hit, especially since she took it to court. At one point they were looking for $1-2 million, but I think they ended up settling for about $250K.

I totally agree with you there....not your truck or insurance makes life a lot easier. I drive a truck myself and just got a $150 fine for using a cell phone while driving....yeah boss pays lol
