Let the wife drive the hot lava to work today to show off to all her friends.
on the way in she was following a big truck (no.no. in these cars). well it picked up a re-tread and throw into our car.
put 2 dents in the hood..

I was ____ed...

What should I do??

brand new friggin car. uggg...
needless to say she is grounded from the car

 

carbon fiber hood dood!!

 

On a Hot Lava?!

 

aaahaha... how bad are the dents and is paint chipped? if not, suction them out, if so, then you'd have to bring it to a body shop or get a carbon hood.

 

Hell yea, this guy will have one soon!!!


Doc

 

Damn, I wish that would happen to me. I need a good reason...

 

Carbon fiber hood would rock. And wifey has to pay for it, lol!

 

my gf keeps asking to drive it

and im like

 

My girlfriend can't even look at my xB without supervision.

 

... that's funny, I do the same with my husband

 

I got 5-sp for many reasons one of them being the wife can't drive it

 

you guys are mean...i just told her to get one...now she got xA

 

haha... and my parents where like, why would you want a 5 spd, thats when i thought of my gf's old car rapped around a tree and said, dont worry about it.

 

That is a shame ....... Atleast she is okay !

If it was me, I would have wrote down the plate number of the truck that the tire peeled off from and any other details such as a name on the door and such - I would call that company and tell them what happened and ask that their insurance company be notified ASAP or they could handle the repairs themselves. It is a truckers responsibility to insure that their vehicles are safe and that means checking their tires each time a load is added or removed ! They are able to check the tread and such both visisbly and by knocking on the tire ......

I would also contact your insurance company and document what happened, and you can have your insurance company call that company ......

Don't back down for a minute, it was the liability of the truck !

Good Luck

 

Unpainted carbon fiber body panels is one of the most tasteless things I see people do to their car.

 

 

What he could do is get the CF hood and paint most of it. Leaving a design open so the weave can show through. This way it would fit the car better.

Or you can have the whole hood covered in a heavy orange pearl (or a candy orange). Either would let the weave show through (as long as there was no base coat applied under the candy).

This would blend the hood in with the car but still show off the fact that it's a C/F hood.

 

And I thought I was the only one to do that.

 

Remember that "grounding" can work both ways! Have a pleasant sleep (and nothing else) tonight!

 

We got the 5-speed because my wife insisted on it!
