ya you guessed it coming home today from a freinds place this truck driver decided he was gona make my life miserable
needless to say now the front bumper cover need to be repainted on my tour and i hope this a$$ hole relizes that he just cost me about 1500$$ worth of work and paint

god am i mad .....thank god that the rest of the car is fine the trucked just swerved right at me for no reason maybe just to be a jerk or somthing ......who knows who cares its over and done with now i pay the price

So, if he swerved into you shouldn't he or his company's insurance pay for the damage?

Hey man sorry to hear about your luck, I went through the same thing last april whenI got my ca back from the paintshop a pick up truck infront of me has his tailgate filled with gravel and it flew out of his bed and hit my car needless to same my front bumper was screwed.

Aaron

P.S. Niagra is only 40min from my house we should meet up once I get my car back from the paintshop.

he didnt fisicaly touch the car he just pelted it with stone and mucked up the front bumper covers paint....
i reported it to the police and they told me there is nothing they can do about it being there was no fisical impact to the vehical ...in other words sorry abot my luck ...either way i pay for the damages so there was no sence in caring on complaing about it ....the front bumper cover goes into the shop tomorow to get redone ....on the bright side it will be doen the next day so ill be ready for the weekend

im suprized that the rest of the paint is fine on the car ...not a mark on the hood or fenders or the leading edge of the roof for that matter......atleast some one was on my side.....

as for smart a$$ truckers out there who find it finny to dust cars and swerv at them

eat this

Can you not make a comprehensive insurance claim? I hit, correction, some stuff hit my car and did some damage to the front end and I had it fixed through insurance as it was a comp claim and not an accident claim. Just an idea.

Good idea Laura. This should not affect your rates either.

Mr. Kustom Kontour....um...do you purposely misspell words?

no i just cant spell.....i just type i dont look at the keys ...i just type .....

damn it im a body man not a teacher

as for the comp who caires its gona be done for friday ...take my loses and what not hope to hell it dont happen again ..besides my sponcer CARSTAR pays for the labour i just buy the materals for them though my shop that i work at because we use house of kolor every day ....nows the fun part mixing the kolor correctly .....technicaly i just have to make the same mistake i made lasrt time when the kolor was suppost to be cyan to purple but turned out to be anodized blue to purple .....either way it only cost me 800 can$$ for the materals...so like i said to the sponcer could be worse

I was driving on the QEW in St Kitts today and a truck that was carrying mud and rocks was loosing it all over the road as it would go over bumps. After the my car and the E320 in front of me got pelted with ping pong ball sized chunks of mud I figured I should probably get the guys licence plate and the trucking company in case there was any damage. When I got closer to the truck I could see that parts of the body were completely rusted through and looked like they were about to fly off.

I can't believe that these trucks are allowed to drive in that condition. Someone could get hurt or killed. A golfball sized rock will go through a windsheild at 120km an hour and would kill someone if they got it in the head.

It almost happened to me once outside Calgary. Me and a friend were driving to Drumheller and a truck was going in the opposite direction. It either lost a rock or kicked one up at over 200kph since we were both going at least 100kph in opposite directions. The rock went through the front windshield between the passengers seat and the drivers seat missing us both and hit the rear window and broke it. I was just like "what the $@!$ happened?" I got some glass in my face though. Unfortunity the truck was long gone after we pulled over and checked out the damage.

Kustom Contour, what kind of car do you have? I haven't seen any other done up Contours in Niagara area.
