I think your next mod should be a garage, but then again you might end up like this guy....

Ouch.

On the bright side that is what insurance is for. Still a bummer though.

The caption on wreckedexotics.com stated that a 17 yr. old kid was speeding thru a neighborhood and lost control of the truck, hit a curb and went airborne. Landed on the Ferrari inside of the garage.

Bad Luck

One of those things you couldn't have forseen. A few years ago my Dad's neighbor had a huge, about 18" dia Oak limb came down from about 75'. hit their 80's Firebird in the widshield and peeled that big, huge, flat dashboard right off, no paint damage, but I believe it was a write-off. It was spectacular looking, though.Good Luck with the fix.

Sorry for the bad luck. I'm not sure what's the most shocking, that picture or hearing what the rear window is. Well, that's why we have insurance. Hope they get it fixed soon.

I hope the rain didn't damage anything IN the car.

Sorry to see the bad luck strike you like that. I hope the insurance makes it less painful.
