Honking, opened the sunroof and pointed for him to pull over...then I got in front of his truck and forced him over to the side of the road (we were gong ~40). I was pizzed.

 

that sux but glad your ok

 

I starting to see the optimistic side of this situation. New wheels, new hood, new side sills (rockers)... ...the aftermarket can be your friend in this time of mourning.

 

God that freaking sucks....

 

Your car's cherry wasn't popped, you were straight up raped in the a$$.

 

I could do better. I got a rock into the windsheild 3 days after I bought mines! HA! Top that!!

 

aluminum hoods react nicely to bricks!!!


(just joking, i feel your pain...)

 

I was hit by a guy when I had my previous car (97 Mustang V6). I took the car to one of those rape-you-in-the-a$$ dealers that always overcharge you, ESPECIALLY when they know insurance is paying for it. Then I got insurance to cut me a check rather than pay the dealer directly to fix it.

I purchased an aftermarket front bumper and hood, took it to a shop I always have my work done at (much much cheaper and much more dependable guys), and had $$$ left over after it was all said and done.

If you're creative (though not ILLEGAL), you could really come out going "that sucked but man, wait an opportunity".

 

And without a KISS, as well.

Hey, at least you're okay and should have no difficulties in fixing your G, other than the time it takes.

 

well the hood isnt much of a problem cuz you can now get a CB (paint it please). Too bad about the rim though =(

 

wow, how unlucky to have that happend before break-in even ends. i would tell the company that only a stillen hood (with the stillen sc under it) will make your car complete!

 

I am getting pissed just by looking at the pics, i can certainly understand what you are going through. But, i would definetly agree with the rest atleast it's a good thing that you are not hurt. As far as your ride goes fixing the hood would be a piece of cake..so don't feel bad. Beside this is a perfect oppurtunity for you to upgrade them rims or you can allways contact rim repair shops matter of fact, some of them will come to your place & get them fixed rite away. Anyways all the best.

LOL at all the replies. I contacted trucking company and they are going to pay for the damage....I just need to send them 2 estimates. They did give me some heartache at first but once I sent them pitures showing pieces of brick still stuck in the rim they changed their tune. I doubt I will modify the car with the settlement....I have been down that road with a previous car and have little desire to do it again (never ends).

 

Hey Forced, are you in south Jersey, near Deptford area?
Sorry to hear about the incident with the truck.
I just bought on Sept 9th, a 2005 G35 6MT Black/Stone leather/Aero/Sirius from Flemington dealer in Jersey.
I live in Washington township, perhaps we will see each other on the road around Philly. I commute and work in Moorestown, NJ.
Will post pictures of my car shortly, she is a Beauty!
Hello to everyone here as well.

 

I live in Franklinville and work in Moorestown. I'm sure I'll see ya on the streets. Congrats on the new car.
