Damn Gary,
I'm sorry to see that. At least you're okay and on the bright side, I'm sure you can mod something else..lol. Perhaps you can mold in a front spoiller into the cover now.
Damn Tom,
Had to go there, didn't you?
Hell, I'll repaint his entire car if you lose the purse pics...lol.

Gary, that front spoiler makes me sick just looking at it. It was a pleasure meeting you. Pictures just don't do your car justice, all i could do was just stare at your beautifully modded car. Immaculent! I hope you get it fixed easily and painlessly!

Trying to lighten the mood is all. I'm sure Gary is bummed, and probably needed the laugh.
I really do hate to see that happen though. If Gary keeps wrecking his car on CI weekends, I'm afraid he may not come back...let's hope that doesn't happen.
Knowing him, it'll be fixed up in no time.
And yes (to whoever said it above)...those "road gators" (tire shreds) laying in the road will kill these lowered/spoilered cars when hit at speed. I hit a very small piece on the way down to BG and heard it under the car as I passed over it...I was afraid my spoiler took a bad hit, but I came out ok.....THIS time.

Glad you had a great time at the CI, but sucks that your car got damaged on the way back. Good luck with the repair.

There has been a lot of cars damaged by road debris lately! Too bad that is a beautiful car.

Decided to do the Tail of the Dragon on the way home and had a blast
Then about 11 PM, about an hour from home, one of those recapped tire rejects from a tractor/trailer decided it liked my TS chin spoiler

Sorry to see that Gary. 
Glad you were not hurt.
Saw a Grand Am along side the road (Blue Grass Parkway) with a smashed WS with a Gator still on the hood.
Saw a lot of them all the way home.
It was a pleasure meeting you.
God willing I'll see you next year too, or before.
