Man I was doing about 35-45 when out of no where a tire with rim smacked the front end of my car. Dead center of the hood and front bumper the hood needs to be replace it folded and dented bad. latch is almost off and the bumper looks to just have rubber marks that I hope will rub out.

Is it bad to drive with the hood off? cause I don't have cash to for a hood at the moment and insurance will ask for my deductible which is $1000

Might just have to garage the thing until cash comes in.

 

i ran over a damn cone and it did more damage then a freaking tire

 

It's bad the hood is bent really bad if the latch didn't hang on I would of lost it. I can't see when driving it's bent so bad looks like I rearended someone

 

Sorry to hear bro...as far as driving without a hood, cops might give you crap about it. I guess its time for that CF hood bro

 

man sorry to hear. In my other car i ran over a 18 wheeler tire that flew off a 18 wheeler and was left in the road. I almost flipped my damn car. i was so pissed i called up every government agency that suppose to clean off **** from the road, as you probably already know it didn't help they just said sorry.

 

Yeah just send Jim a message hopefully in the next day or two I can get my stockeys sold and buy the hood

 

Gluck with everything bro...fix up your car already so tires wouldnt be flying at you...lol j/k

 

LOL I'm trying to! It's hard with 2 kids and a girl that loves to shop lol. and don't forget gas in the tahoe :P

 

Sorry to hear.

 

TB I have a 06 ss hood in good condition. Let me know if your in need of one.

 

Might be getting one from Jim but ill let you know.

 

+1 This is what i did! i hit a deer.

 

in CA i think its illegal to drive with no hood... but that was what i heard... you might want to do a google search.

 

Right about now I'm like **** the popos! gotta get home from work lol. already took the hood off and put it in the office storage unit lol.

 

sucks bro. yea, I feel you on the "shop-til-u-drop wife" and the gas in the daily (suburban here). Put off the kids until after I have my fun with the toys. lol.

Find someone who has a hook up at a good body short or even talk to the body shop you choose and see what they can do for you on the deductible. Alot of body shops will give you a break on the deductible. Didn't pay a dime when I fcked up the surburban ($3500 worth of damage). Of course my deductible was only $500.

 

i drove without my hood, everyone stared and pointed, then i picked up my cf hood from Quan and everyone still stared and pointed...(it had flowers all over it)

 

LOL the flowers

Yeah I think I'm getting the TS2 hood also in replace of this mangled mess I have now.

 

haha what? flowers?

anyways, TB i hope everything goes well 4 u dude.

 

You should try calling Cal Trans or the city or something maybe they can reimburse you for the damages. Last year one of my friend's rim got bent on a pothole he complained to the city or someone else not exactly sure but after they looked into it they issued him a check for the damages. So, it can't hurt trying to find out if someone will cover the damages. Good luck.

 

Quan had an apple blossom tree vinyl on his side of his car...some of the flowers were flying off the tree and ended up on the hood.... which im sure looked cool as a whole design but just flowers on the hood is the ghey.
