I am getting too old for this $#!+ !!!!

The security guard comes into my office and tells me that there is a "situation" that requires my immediate attention.




Luckly, my company is paying for a new hood, left fender, windshield, headlights, and a complete paint job.

Parts = $2600
Paint and materials = $1200
Labor = $3800


Look on the Vice President's face = Priceless

BTW: I am now in the market for a L-sportline or TTE front end / lip. Anyone care to help a brother out?

 

How in the heck did that happen?

 

From the photo it looks like the tree was being stabilized with cables, I assume one of the cables was overstressed and over the tree went. Probably a placed tree so the roots hadn't taken ground yet.

 

ouch that sucks man I'm glad you got the money back for the damages.

 

i hate parking under/near trees.
not b/c they fall on my car , but b/c birds always **** on it
or if not that then the tree sap that goops down
sorry about the incident but looks like you will be coming back stronger so

 

Man, this sucks. All parking empty and You park under tree.

 

damn dude that sucks.. sorry to hear about it..

 

The tree started to lean during the December / January storms.
The landscape crew pushed it back into an upright position and attached the support cables.
Apparently they cracked the trunk just above the roots, so the next strong wind gust ......

 

The picture was taken at lunch, so the parking lot was nearly empty.

Sorry to see that happen. But as the old saying goes, "get a lemon and make lemonaid". I'd say you have an opportunity to get an after market body kit and have part of the paint and install costs covered under your insurance .

 

You are my hero!
Thanks for the link and for negotiating the GB!

 

That sucks... But atleast you will have a freshly painted front end

 

Actually, my company is paying for a complete paint job.
The car will be in the shop for about four weeks.

 

are you sure you didn't go and kick the tree over so you could get a new paint job? j/k sorry that it happen but man at least your company is stepping up..
