Recap: Lets call the Trooper that failed me Trooper Mary, and the guy I saw on Friday, who was like "I would never pass that vehicle" Trooper A.H..

Called the junkyard in VT on monday, they mailed me an original receipt for the bumper piece.

Yesterday I called the main office and they confirmed that the Trooper Mary (failed me last time) will be IN MILTON ON WEDNESDAY.

Today is Wednesday and the receipt came in the mail.

Trooper Mary failed me last time for:
-not blending the paint enough
-not having a photocopy of my title
-not not having an original receipt of bumper corner

I called my tow guy and brought the truck down to MILTON, where they said that Trooper MARY would be working.


I get waved in to the garage and open the door only to see the ugly mug OF THE STRICT TROOPER FROM LAST FRIDAY, TROOPER A.H.!!!


Trooper A.H. is like,
"I told you I can't pass this vehicle!, I talked to Trooper MARY [the woman who I was expecting to see] and she said she TOLD YOU TO REPLACE AND FIX THE WHOLE SIDE!"

I almost lost my self right there, A.H. must have put the heat on that female trooper Mary and asked why she was being so lenient, she probably lied to him to save her reputation.

A.H.: "I told you to come back tomorrow! [meaning in Bridgewater, far away, last monday]
Me: I have a full time job and have to schedule time off. I thought trooper mary would be here today, they told me mary would be here today.
A.H.: "She took some time off. We cannot pass this vehicle in the condition it is in. You can come back tomorrow morning if you want and see Trooper Mary but I don't know when she's coming back."

A.H. sits down and is like:

THERE IS NOTHING I CAN DO FOR YOU. THE TWO SIDES OF THE VEHICLE MUST LOOK EXACTLY ALIKE. You have to get a new quarterpanel and a new door and paint it to match so both sides look exactly the same.

I asked "even if I'm putting minimum compulsory (no collision or theft) insurance on it?

A.H. says, "YES."


$670 = running tally of cash spent so far on local towing to and from salvage inspection sites.
