1st finish sleeping, cuz i took a sleeping pill at 10pm and i'm still under its influence.


Yes i did all the work in a haze of sleep.

after i finish sleeping...
1) vaccum
2) tape windsheild
3) try to get to body shop
4) decide whether oto call insurance - prolly will

I aint goin into work tomorrow, thats for sure.
the two other cars in the pictures are under repairs that make them a pain in the *** to get back to driving condition, not to mention the fact that i would have to undo alot of what I'm working on with them to get there.

Why did you park under a tree?!?!
Just kidding.
I'm sorry that happened, I wouldn't want to go to work either.
Is it really windy there or is that tree just lazy?

That really sucks. Mother nature's revenge for all the catless 13B's spewing pollutants. She tried to get me too. I'm sorry you weren't as lucky as I was.



Literally inches away. Also, what looks like the tree is only a limb. If you look further back, you can see a 3 ft trunk covered in vines. It blends into the background.

The storms were CRAZY last night, or at least in Indiana. There were actually 2 casualties in my county due to violent winds (NOT tornados). Someones trailer was actually blown off its foundation! Be thankful you and your family is safe.

Hoping for the best...you may be covered under "acts of God"...and your insurance can't raise the deductible (at least where I live). Don't let them eFF you with book value!

Updated pix.

I do have full comprehensive insurance on this car.

I added an 8,000 rider to it to cover the extensive electronics in the car and also the fact that I rebuilt this car from the ground (unibody) up.

I just hope that they dont fight with me over it.
I bought an insurance rider to avoid the "blue book brawl".
