Default When it rains it pours!!!

If I did not have bad luck, I would not have any luck at all. Yesterday, I got my vette licensed and decided to take it on a trip so I could watch my daughter play volleyball. On the way down to the tournament, I did not have a problem. It was an awesome trip. It was comfortable and relaxing. Here is where everything goes south. On the way home, I have to drive through a long canyon and it is extremely fun because there is a lot of curves. Well, I came around a corner and someone had blown a tire and half of the tire was in the middle of the highway. Well, before could react, I drove right over it. Well, I can say I got it home, but until I can get it on a lift, I will not know what all is wrong. As of right now, my from air dam /splitter is bent all the way back. I think I can fix that. Also, my driver side front fender has been broken away from the car. That I don't know if I can fix. I think I am going to put into storage for the rest of the year. That way I will not have worry about fixing it.

If you have comprehensive/collision insurance I would contact the insurance company and get some estimates. It sounds as if the bill to repair may get expensive and if you wait until next spring your insurance company might not be so understanding.
