Default D@#$ Pickup Truck
Was working some overtime today and get a phone call someone hit my Corvette in the parking lot.
The pickup that was parked beside me cut it to short and ran over the fender and bumper.
Time for a Tigershark!











just got the estimate 10/01/08
$3200.00
poor baby didnt think it was that bad.

He was the one who called me.Stayed until I came out to see the damage had his insurance and other info ready when I got there.Said he knew the car was there just turned to soon.
I asked him if he knew how much this was going to cost and he said sure he used to have one.

Terry,
Really sorry to see that your car got hit. Those trucks seem to like smacking into FRCs!

Wayne

PS - If you're looking for parts, I've got all you'll need! Only problem is they're pewter & still on your other FRC!

Sorry to see that. I know how you feel. Good luck with repairs.

You seem to be taking it pretty well though.

I hope you get the mods you want.
I stressed over a new rear bumper cover but decieded against it as it is more solid and would not "give" if I bumped something.

I'm stressing over the paint now...

Bummer! Atleast the guy was honest and called you! He probably feels like *^% if he's owned one in the past... Hope your fix goes well!
