Dracha got beat up today...

Jenn took a piece of blown out tire head on today at 75mph on the interstate.... She's fine.... Dracha isn't.















Dracha's driveable but not feeling well at all... We'll still be at the dinner on Thursday and Sarasota on Saturday but I'm not sure about Cars and Coffee... I may bring the truck and park offsite. Hope to have her fixed for the show next weekend... looks like the whole front end will have to be replaced.

Bill

Thank goodness it's considered comprehensive (the debris was flying, not stationary) so at least your insurance won't get gummed up.

Big hopes for quick repairs! I'm glad Jenn's fine. Get well soon, Dracha!!

Sorry to see that; hope you get it fixed soon. That must have been one large chunk of tire.

Doesn't look like the insurance will be involved... we have a $1000 deductible... I'm waiting to hear how much the replacement parts are.... I can install a new front end on my own... the damage looks to be superficial.

From the description I got it was the whole tread off an 18 wheeler.

Ouch, I hope your smart gets cleaned up soon. I would hate to have that happen to me and I know you're not happy.

Bill, Sorry to hear about the damage. I am happy that Jenn is fine.
Sounds like a good excuse for a body kit. See you Thursday.
