my 40th got hit by a snow truck

wheee! · 02-03-2011, 05:54 PM

Wow.... that sucks.

Nice headlights by the way...!

I believe this is punishable by death in some states.

younter · 02-03-2011, 06:03 PM

im glad that the headlights were ok.

That sucks. The headlight housing costs about $1500 each, so make sure you take a close look at whether they were damaged. My claims adjusters missed the headlight damage on my car, so I had to go back and point it out to them.

I think the stealth color of the 40th helps blend the car in with the pavement. As a result, people are don't see it and hit it.

Love your tire/ wheel setup.

CERBERUSlucid · 02-03-2011, 07:15 PM

=( so sad…

GL with the repairs bro! I'd be waiting outside for the next snow truck to pass by to blow it up

02-03-2011, 07:17 PM

It could always be worse

CERBERUSlucid · 02-03-2011, 07:26 PM

ˆFAIL on soooooo many levels...

younter · 02-03-2011, 07:30 PM

wow..I am glad im not in that situation......

sonic370 · 02-03-2011, 08:23 PM

it hurts to see a 370 with any damage. but it can be repaired.

sometimes it seems like these cars have a big sign on them that says

"hey hear i am smash me"

If that were my car, I'd go down there with a baseball bat and go apeshit on both the tow truck and the front loader. Realistically though with this video, that will be a nice settlement the owner gets from the city.

It looks like your Z just has the tire and front fascia damage. Get them to replace both the tire the fascia with a new ones. There is also a screw that secures the fascia located in the front of the wheel well under the liner. Check that this is OK as it may have been torn out and they'll need to repair/replace the front left fender too.

I see more damaged 40ths on this board than all the other colors combined

Good luck on a speedy recovery for the 40th!

sorry to hear about that dude !

younter · 02-04-2011, 05:43 PM

Well, now I took the Z to the body shop and the estimate cost without replaceing the tire is $2100..The tire should be another $600 ish since it is winter tire..not cheap at all... I got a rental of a red Hyundai Sonata..Gosh, It feels so uncomfortable compare to Z..

kenchan · 02-04-2011, 05:51 PM
