I just got back from the yard where it's being stored. They were kind enough to give me access so I could remove my things. I put the factory HU back in and got my Kenwood out and my Zenclosures box. Unfortunately my amp is destroyed and I didn't have the time to rip apart my doors to get my speakers. Unfortunately I can't take my brand new tires (like 3 weeks old), but I've been told I can submit a receipt for them and the adjuster will factor them in to the value of the vehicle.

WTF?!?!

lol I'm pretty sure the bartenders were too busy drowning their own vehicle sorrows to be tapping beers for anyone else.

that sucks big time. we had a huge one come through by the airport last year and wipe out just about every car in the employee lot. And people think I'm crazy to pay $12/day for covered parking and I don't use the employee lot.

I'm much better now that I've had a little time to process it all. I still would prefer if it had never happened, but it is what it is and there's no taking it back.

I thought I already found an exact replacement while researching online last night, and was super stoked that it was only 5 minutes from my house (I drove to New York for the first one). It didn't even cross my mind that this car would have been sitting in the exact same storm.

I woke up this morning and they now have a big disclaimer on the website that it was damaged in the storm and that they'll be selling it at a crazy discount. Thanks, but no thanks....the search will continue.

Yes, just produce the receipts and mileages/time the tires/parts and electronics you invested in the car, as well as any extended warranty and alike you purchased, and recent maintainece you may have done (like you just spent $$$ on your 50k miles service). The adjuster will recalcaulte the value of the car. Good luck!!

You, sir, are THE MAN. I didn't even think about submitting my warranty, service work, etc....all of which I just had done at the beginning of May. Thanks!

I'm assuming the Delta employee lot? My dad usually puts a heavy duty car cover on his Camaro if he is doing anything more than a turn-around. I need to invest in a DD when Hartsfield becomes my home.

That sucks, but hey... look at the bright side.. you get to shop for another Z! Now you can pick up one that has the modifications you want (if you are into that) or a Nismo or something..

exciting really!
