just my luck
Took the 78 silver aniversary to a local car show. It was about 30 mile drive and wouldn't you know it a car passed me while I was merging on to e-way. He ran over a poece of steel and it hit the nose of my car gouging the heck out of it. It could have be worse I guess, at least it didn't come through windshield.So back to the body shop.

Thats too bad. I hope the repair cost isn't to expensive.
We have a big problem in Texas with contractors driving pickup trucks pulling overloaded trailers full of debris. They don't usually have a tail gate on the truck or the trailer. Stuff is falling off of them all over the interstate. Two weekends ago during the Republic of Texas motorcycle rally a fiberglass shower fixture fell off the back of a truck taking out a pack of riders. Lots of casualties.
There seems to be no accountability for irresponsibility. As long as I have lived & worked in the Austin area I have never seen or known of a police officer ticketing anyone for unsecure load.

But yesterday I found a pefectly good 70 camaro grill on the side of the road. Just had to stop and pick it up. I think I'll hang it on my garage wall. Sorry about your vette.
