RE: big paint problem here !!!
While not having the same problem, I had a similar 'out of my control' experience today. I have a nissan 350z...and I've really taken great care of it since I bought it in 04. I've also added a lot of little goodies..it's really a nice car and it's a blast to drive. So today I'm driving down I-287 in central jersey (to you locals, I was right near exit 1 in Edison)....and I was passing some slower traffic in the left lanes. The road makes a gradual turn to the left, and before I know it, I see a big chunk of a broken truck tire laying in the middle of my lane...you've all seen it before..and god help you if you're on a bike and come up on one of these things. Anyway, I really didn't have the time to swerve to the next lane....or at least I didn't have time to look and then swerve..so I bit it. I braced myself for the hit...and BOOM....it was a good hit. When I finally got off the exit, I saw that I knocked the front chin spoiler loose...I also dented a large plastic cover underneath the car....I think it's just a cover over some metal parts which are under the engine..to tell you the truth, I don't know. And who knows what else has been damaged. I saw something leaking, but it turns out that it was just the air conditioner condensation.
But all this because some azzhole truck blew a tire and now I'm going to have to get things fixed at my expense. Sorry..just had to vent. Like some others have said..I feel your pain dude. Todd |

Sorry that nothing has fixed your problem. I sure hope that your insurance company doesn't give you fits......You have had enough to deal with already. Good luck getting it fixed, I hope all goes well for you. Later.
