Talk about bad luck. Six weeks ago I sprayed my truck down to begin washing it. When the water hit the windshield it instantly cracked from top to bottom. My insurance company sent someone out to replace it, which was cool. Until I noticed a milkly, chalky substance on the inside and outside of the glass. When the sun hits the windshield just right, it causes so much glare that it's hard to see. I used everything I could think of to remove it, to no avail. I called the glass company three times to replace it again, but they keep bagging on the appointment dates.

This morning I'm heading to work down my usual route in my neighborhood where's there's some construction going on. Somebody moved a portable street sign into the lane, which I couldn't see because of the glare. I hit it at 30 mph and watched as a 4x4 post and sign flipped up over the truck and landed on my roof. Bumper cover and grill are toast. Leading edge of the hood is scratched, but may be fixed by buffing. But there's a baseball sized dent in my roof. All this on an '04 with 10k miles on it and perfect paint. Talk about a bad way to start your day!

 

WOW, that sucks... I say call the insurance company again

 

Are you sure it didn't bust the windshield also???

 

LOL! Yep, Id make sure that post hit my windshield also,if ya know what I mean.

Sorry about your Lightning though,that part of it sucks!

 

Actually, the insurance company is being very cool about it. They're having the windshield replaced asap, and sending an adjuster to look at the damage. They're also pissed that the glass company gave me a crappy windshield, and looking to them to pay the costs to repair my truck - especially since they've not shown up for two appointments to have the windshield replaced.

It just sucks having my very first new car, which I've owned for less than a year, get damaged.

 

Woo THAT SUCKS BRO )(#%*()#%^)#%(^#%)(#%
Man what the hell is next
Maybe it's time to call a Lawyer (Rabinowitz Rabinowitz and Rabinowitz)

Honestly since you have complained numerous times to the windshield company for putting in a faulty windshield, I would think they can and should be held responsible for the cost of the repair, (especially since your insurance co supplied them).

BTW
I got like a 6 inch deep film of nicotine on my mitsi-whateverthehellitis windshield, so i do know what you mean.

So sorry Bro....

 

I know who I'd have pay the deductible!

 

Funny thing - I am a lawyer, and I actually do work for my insurance company on first-party claims! I made sure I let them know that when I talked to them this morning.

Know why lawyers wear neckties?................To keep the foreskin from coming up around their heads!
fullboogie-you being a lawyer reminded me of that joke, its not directed towards you buddy,just lawyers in general!

 

Skank - believe it or not, lawyers laugh the hardest at lawyer jokes!

 

Hey, that's too bad that they did you like that, and I hope that the glass company fixes it all, or that the insurance doesn't let the claim effect you, or your premium. I just went through a similar deal with paint work on my L. and it still isn't right. It will get done soon enough I'm sure, just waiting on the weather right now.
..So what is the difference between a Porsche and a porcupine? ....The ****** are on the inside of the Porsche...LOL , not really a Lawyer joke, but it's the best I can do right now. Good luck! And I might have a spare grille here pretty soon, or maybe a billet if the buyer flakes on me. Let me know if you're in need. Later! ..oh, and I'm a mechanic, so here's a great mechanic joke. How do you know a mechanic is getting some..?? ..His middle finger is clean... BK

 

Sorry to hear about your misfortune, but honestly, what grounds do you have to stand on? You knew the windshield was defective and potentially dangerous but yet chose to continue to drive it. The windshield company can't be blamed for that. Now if you would have rented a car until it was fixed I could see you going after them for that. Good luck in getting your truck fixed. I feel your pain in having a beautiful and fairly new truck suffer damage.

 

Did someone say Lawyer Joke


The madam opened the brothel door to see a rather dignified, well-dressed good looking man in his late 40s or early 50s. "May I help you?" she asked "I want to see Valerie," the man replied. "Sir, Valerie is one of our most expensive ladies. Perhaps you would prefer someone else," said the Madam. "No. I must see Valerie," was the man's reply. Just then, Valerie appeared and announced to the man that she charged $1,000 a visit. Without hesitation, the man pulled out ten one-hundred dollar bills, gave them to Valerie, and they went upstairs. After an hour, the man calmly left.

The next night, the same man appeared again, demanding to see Valerie.
Valerie explained that no one had ever come back two nights in a row--too expensive--and there were no discounts, The price was still $1,000. Again the man pulled out the money, gave it to Valerie and they went upstairs After an hour, he left.

The following night the man was there again. Everyone was astounded that he had come for the third consecutive night, but he paid Valerie and they went upstairs. After their session, Valerie questioned the man. "No one has ever been with me three nights in a row. Where are you from?" she asked. The man replied, "South Carolina. "Really" she said. "I have family in South Carolina." "I know," the man said. "Your father died, and I am your sister's
attorney. She asked me to give you your $3,000 inheritance."

The moral of this story is that there are three things in life that are certain:
1. Death
2. Taxes
3. Being screwed by a lawyer
