I was driving on the highway last Wed. & there was construction up ahead.Everybody slowed down including myself.They had dug a trench across the road, laid a water pipe & filled it in with gravel & lightly packed it down.As I drove over it ,the gravel was uneven & caught my front dam & tore it completely off,sliceing my left front tire in the process. I had to limp my baby home & now stuck with some "Bullshit" damage.I guess it was time to redo the front end anyhow.I would have rather spent the $$$ on a gofast goodie. 
I'll post a pic in the near future.

ditto on suing for damages. I was driving my FB under an overpass being built when they slopped a bunch of cement-y water on my car. I didnt think much of it since the clear coat was already flaking off but when I tried to wash it off - it was not coming off! I called the construction co doing the work and they sent a claims adjuster out. I got 1300$ to repair the damages but I bought RB exhaust, an engagement ring for my wife (some of it anyways) , and lights for my fish tank. Stick it to the man!

I've been asking around & from what I'm told They'll dick you around for a year then tell ya sorry nothing can be done. I've almost finished a new & improved front end now. Hopefully I'll have it done by this weekend,with a complete tunnel ram system.I'll post photos as soon as it's finished & this stupid 'puter will accept them.Thanks
