Unhappy A Bad St Patricks Day

Driving home last Wed...St Patricks Day.. .(nada a single drink so dont ask!!! hehe)

went up an incline, car in front of me swerved at which point my front right wheel well consumed an entire trailer hitch!!!! I've only had the car for 12 days at that point..paper plates still on it...

The ball socket became lodged against the wheel liner....so after jacking the car up the wrecker driver and i pry the damn thing loose...some loser just forgot to put the pin in!!

Anyway got the call from dealer...cracked rim,punctured tire, fender apron repair, balance and alignment...i'm just wanting some feedback..body shop mgr said i'll never even be able to tell the difference cosmetic or mechanically...god i hope this is true...

Still in shock!!!

Wow! This is the second Houston story I've read. Crazy. Yeah, they should be able to fix your car back to OEM spec...I know the first couple months might be paranoid for you but it'll wear off. Been through similiar ordeals. Best of luck

Cheers Man. I like to keep my maglite in my car...its the one that holds 3 or 4 C cell batteries. I take it to camping and stuff but when I'm not out in the wilderness hiking, I have it in my car in case of incidents.

BTW, I also have my hockey sticks in my car as well...that works too.


...also, I'm planning a trip down to houston so if anyone needs a firmware upgrade on their Sony Ericsson phones, just holla.
