Road Damage

[Fubar]

I'm still not sure what was in the middle of the road but I hit it hard and fast. Amazingly enough, no damage to any other parts of the car.

The aluminum is fix-able, but thanks for the suggestion BlackICE!!!

Thanks even more-so for the patience on the DD!
You were a great sport.

Good to see you at the rally.

Actually it was on the way back from 'The Mile.' I passed an 18 wheeler on a temporary passing lane. When I jumped out from behind the truck, there it was... at 90mph I couldn't do anything but center it and brace for impact. I checked out the damage on the side of the road, with nothing hanging down and no fluids pouring out, I just waited till I got home to repair it.

The aluminum is fix-able, but thanks for the suggestion BlackICE!!!

I just assumed this was be a replacement situation. I wonder what cost is, replacement v/s repair.

Torrie?

Agreed, you never really know with this stuff. If I can help I am here for you buddy

Go new.

Keep the old one for when they are not available.

 

[SYCO GT]

Looks like you had a battle with Speed Racer and his side mounted circular saw blades.

Glad you're okay. Nutty.

[timcantwell]

It looks like you hit a giant can opener!

 

[skyrex]

Wow......that is a sickening feeling when that happens. I was on my way to the GT school in March and came around a bend only at about 75 in pitch black darkness and right in the middle of the road was a BIG rock. Nothing I could do. WHAM......and I was sure the front splitter was gone, but when I pulled over nothing. Looked at the rear, nothing. I think it must have been mostly mud around a smaller rock. I was sweating it.

At my next oil change Kendall discovered a small hole in the belly pan. I repaired it......yours I would replace also.

I was driving around yesterday morning early and as I rounded a bend there it was! I had but a split second to shut my eyes and brace for impact. Bam! I giant bug nailed me dead center of the windshield! The humanity! I winced as I opened my eyes not knowing what damage I would find from such a violent collision. Amazingly, there were no juicy remnants to be found. The little critter had somehow bounced off leaving nary a streak. Talk about a close call!

From the looks of that tear you also were very lucky! Glad no serious damage was done.
