You guys have no idea what your talking about. I have respect for everyone here. I was fuckin wit you speedy, thats all there is to it. Don't take things so seriously. All im saying is that it seems imposssible that anything else could have happened, it just doesn't work. If my car hasn't been on a jack or lift in over a month, then i notice the problem 2 days before my car is due to go on the lift. How could it be a jack or a lift? Astro im not clueless bro, i have a problem with my car, i post about it and i get all this BS. I told you guys the time frame does not work out. Like i said it wasn't there tues, but it was there on thurs. and i also hit the pothole on Wed night. It only makes sense. I have no idea what happened, i am just saying that this is what i believe happened cause i don't think it could be anything else. Astro i give you guys respect just like i expect it in return. If i caused this problem i wouldn't be denying it. I would have just said look at what i did to my car. Since i don't know what happened to it and neither do you, how can you automatically think it was a jack, anything is possible. I wish i knew but i probably won't ever find out. Astro you seem a little bit out of line saying that i shoudn't post here because i won't admit to something i never did. If thats the way its gonna be astro then thats the way it is, since your the big bad mod then do whatchu gotta do. But i did nothing wrong.

im sorry bro, i wouldn't say what astro said is final, get off his dick. Im saying i can't tell you what really happened cause i don't know. All i know is that i didn't see it tues but saw it thurs. I hit a pothole on wed, you do the math...... It just makes sense. Although i am not totally sure, this is the only possible explanation i have.

 

i was joking when i posted, obviously yer not. i'm sorry you got yourself into this unfortunate posting situation, everyone picking on you and all, but right off the bat when you tried to make it seem like you had a warrenty problem you fucked up. you think we're all stupid. i'm tired of listening to people bashing acura, so you better have a legit prob before you do. and i've had some problems too, i just don't come here and whine about every little thing. as i said in an earlier post your damage is either road hazard or jacked jack. it could not however be caused by a "pothole", or depression in the road. maybe a big rock, maybe...
sure looks like a jack mark in your undercoating though and it would prolly take the weight of the car to do that much damage. whatever explanation makes you feel better. oh, and everyone knows, astro is on my nutz, just like you.

 

In case you didn't notice i said i would highly doubt it, someone just said it might be covered so i figured id ask. I didn't think it would be covered, that is damage i did, not something acura did. Its not like i was going to try and dick them around, they did nothing in this situation, i just was told it might be, so i asked, whats the harm in that? I am not whining, i was just simply posting what happened to my car cause it is unusual and i have no idea how it actually happened, i only have a guess. Maybe it was a rock but again i have no idea for sure. You guys get all uptight cause i am disagreeing with your jack theory

 

its coo, you asked for opinions and you got 'em. life's hard on these mean internet streets, you gotta be up on yo game. just get it fixed properly, live and learn.

 

This is what _I_ think happened.

1. The car was jacked improperly, you can clearly see the marks.
2. Someone realized that, and tried to fix it, by pushing back the steel into place.
3. Your car's underbody was bent out of place again by either going through a large pothole, or from a large heavy rock.

So, in my opinion, everyone is right, it was caused by a JACK, and the problem was made noticeable by a pothole or rock.

I've personally been through 2 (or 3?) VERY LARGE potholes, and it felt like my car was going to collapse, but nothing happened. I've also had a very large rock hit the underside of my car, and nothing happened.

 

It just doesn't make sense thats all im saying. My car hasn't been jacked up in over a month until saturday. But then i hit this pothole wed and notice this problem on thurs, what would you guys think? How could it be the jack if i noticed the problem 2 days before my car was put up on the lift? You'd be thinkin exactly how i am. I wish i had an answer, but i don't. Just like you guys have no answer. Anything is possible, what it basically comes down to is that i hit a pothole wed, it wasn't there tues but i saw it thurs. Matt your right, i am going to get it fixed right. Its cool, i know i asked for opinions but some of you guys got all bent out of shape. I dunno what to tell you guys, i guess i will never know.

 

After second look at the photos, I’m leaning toward the JACK conclusion as well.
Weather it was by you, your garage or a thief is not for me to imply.

Reason:
If you ran over something large and strong enough to do that there would be DEEP scratches running front to back near the damaged area.
They would have been made as the rock or road surface dug into the metal and went by under the car.
No such damage shows on your photos.
The photos show that there was ONE upward thrust of a small object.

Why is there even a debate? This is like saying my window is broken and shattered and not accepting the fact that something hit it!!

Honestly if you want to bring it to a body shop and have them weld it back into place, they'll do the same exact thing I mentioned. If you're not into doing things by yourself, then have it done.

If you like to work on cars then it can easily be fixed. It wont be the same becaue its not like you can get that floor board replaced. If you don't want to get it welded, they can cut the floor totally OFF and replace it with a new sheet of metal and weld that on.

My 2 cents -- I also agree with the majority that it is damage cause by a jack. :thumbsdn:

Is it possible that it happened a month ago, but you did not notice until you hit the huge pothole? It's in a spot that you would not normally see day-to-day and could easily overlook. But when you hit the pothole, you checked the car and then noticed the damage?

 

how could he not notice the big dent in the floorboard? if he did hit something to cause that damage it would have sounded like someone hit the car with a sledgehammer, except way harder.

I'm only saying to stop posting in here with your silly idea that it was a pothole...
you asked for opinions, virtually everyone in here has said that we feel it was a bad jacking kob, you refuse to admit it, almost starting arguements about it....that is pointless....you refuse to see that we are right and you are wrong, that's why you should stop posting in THIS thread.

 

I was only stating that its the only thing i can think of. How could it be the jack if my car hasn't been on one for more then a month? And since it wasn't there tues but it was there thurs and i hit a pothole on wed night, how could it not be the pothole? Im saying what i think happened, thats what makes the most sense to me. I am cool with everyones opinion, its just i think differently and you guys get all uptight. but like i said anything is possible, its just the jack thing makes no sense since my car hasn't been on one for so long. I wish i kn ew the truth tho

 

sue the city for poorly upkept roads.

 

have u had a flat recently...dude automotive 101 explained this

 

I want to go take a picture of the pothole i hit wed night, that possibly caused this problem. Hopefully i will take a ride there within the next few days and see if i can snap a pic. Its a busy road but ill try and make due. Then it might clear up this topic a little.

 

Why don't you just go get it fixed? Either way, your car is still fucked up, and the more time you spend here in denial is more time that the damage stays with your car.

 

Just cause im here talking about my car, doesn't mean i am not getting it fixed. I plan on taking it to a friend of mine who works at a body shop sometime early this week. Im not just going to ignore the problem.

 

Sometimes when they're doind road construction they lay these huge plates of steel across the road. On occasion they're raised up quite a bit, big enough to blow out a tire on my friend's car and also pig enough to rip the oil pan off another friend's car. If you honestly thing this pothole cause it, then takes pics of the pothole and call the city. My friend who lost his oil pan hand the entire bill picked up by the city. Good luck!


P.S. It REALLY doesn't look like one of the feet of a lift, but if it was there before hand, then that can't be true

 

Marc, what rims do you have on you car now?
The Vault Jade's?
Aways park in a garage?

Looks like somone caused that damage while trying to steel your rims, misplaced jack. Looks like the car slipped off a jack and it went into the floor pan.

Has anyone else driven yout car? Maybe they hit something.

That rust has been there a while. Newer cars won't rust like that in 4 days. The pot hole could of brought it too you attention, or made the damage worse.

Floor pan, that is some serious $$$ to fix. Call your insurance.

 

I am going to take pics tonight if i get a chance. This is just the only logical explanation to me. It was DEFINATELY there before it went on the lift on saturday. Thanks for going easy on me aaron some of these guys thought it was IMPOSSIBLE

 

Right now i have my stock CL rims on. My car is usually parked on my street. No one else has driven my car recently. I guess it is possible the pothole may have made the problem noticeable. I know there wasn't anything like this on tuesday though. Saw it for the first time on Thurs. It makes no sense to me. Maybe it started out small where i couldn't see it and the pothole made it as big as it is. I wish i knew.

I don't know where this damage was done. But all I know is that it was definitely done with a misplaced jack. Now whether it was done at the shop or by someone trying to take your wheels, who knows? But it's clear to me from your pictures that it was done by a misplaced jack.

 

Im now thinking that maybe there was a little problem before but hitting that pothole just finished the job. It still boggles my mind but what can you do. Sometimes you just have to bite the bullet. I will take a picture of the pothole tonight, maybe looking at that can give me an idea, its a busy street, i gotta be quick

 

Damn i read the entire post hoping for a final verdict.but none still huh............My dumb ass misplaced a jack while changing my tire in the dark...............the damage isn't as bad as that cuz I stopped as soon as I saw the bottom of the floor cave in.......so now i have a bulge in the rear floor but I'm sure I could bang it back in place.

your saying your car hasn't been on a jack for months......well maybe it did happen months and months ago.......that would explain the rust.....rust wouldn't show up in a few days. The only other way you can get a gash like that is prob if you were to drive over a huge rock and it got wedged under there for a seconds before you pass it. Anyways hope you get a verdict soon and good luck. i too vote misplaced jack.

 

Well i can tell you that if it did happen the last time my car was on the jack it was not NEARLY as bad. There was never a lump on my floor like that until thurs. So again it seems like the pothole finished the job or did the whole thing

 

I'm giving Marc the benifit of the doubt, just because I've seen this sort of thing happen to someone I know. The damage wasn't as isolated, but there are similarities.

Cut em' some slack guys... Even if it was a misplaced jack, the outcome certainly sucks, and I'm sure no one here would care to have it happen to them.

My $0.02...

 

Thanks for giving me the benifit of the doubt Scrib. Your right, just the fact that it happened really sucks. Whatever it was really doesn't matter at this point, i just have to deal with it. Although i would like to find out what really happened.
