I got an estimate on my own of about $3000. The city's appraiser was here a short while ago and I should hear back from them in a couple days as to their thoughts on the damage.

Definitely not as bad as I thought it would be... I thought it was a personal carport -- i.e. one attached to your house that is smaller, and if knocked down, would bring it all the way down on your car...
anyway, it's a shame -- 1 or 2 more parking spaces over and you wouldn't have gotten hit!

The driver of the truck looks like the local city workers here.
They make a mess and then proceed to just stand aside and admire the trouble they have caused.
I am really very sorry this had to happen Damon.

Did you get any pics of the car after you finally removed the structure?

DAMN!
I suggest counseling immediately that's not something you can recover from on your own. Talk to someone before you find your self covered in blood, smelling like garbage, and have no idea where you've been.

Sorry to hear about your loss, Damon.
This must have been a bad week for RX-7s. While I keep my 94 RX-7 and the wife's Solara in the garage, my dailer driver 91 RX-7 must sit in the driveway. We had 10 minutes of golf ball size hail on Thursday night. That poor old, dependable beast looks like a moon crater. At least my "new" 94 was protected.

I know it must suck just to see the car like that but when I started reading the thread I imagined the car to be wrecked to a point its not drivable. The pics arent that bad, Me and probly other people who seen the pics think that its not as bad as it could have been. goes to show you that RX7's are strong enough to take a beating. hope you get it fixed soon

Sorry to hear about the damage to your car, Damon. That definitely sucks.
But at least you know who did it and how it happened, and you'll hopefully be reimbursed for it. Some brain-dead lowlife decided to key the driver's side door of my car while it was parked for only a couple of hours in a shopping district garage last month.
