January run at Paragon, PA

[Spas]

Yeah Doug...I wasn't sure how you and Matt would even find any BB dents, ha

Several marguiritas later I've cooled down a bit

Cj, two out of three look EXACTLY like yours, only the biggest one is the size of a nickel and took the black paint off with it That one is on the hatch, to the right of my license plate, the second, smaller is one to the left of the plate and the riccochet/ BB dent is on my driverside door pillar, just past where the ventshade ends. I'll take some pics later...too depressed to do it now

I'll still come up there for runs, but I'm not parking Blackjack anywhere near Chris's house if this is how the neighbors are gonna treat my explorer. I mean, if they have a problem with us being loud or doing burnouts, just come over and say so! There's NO NEED to go shooting up somebody's prize possesion!!

 

[Doug]

sure a school of tuna didnt swim into the side of your truck?

 

[Spas]

Nahhh, tuna weigh 40+ pounds. I think they'd leave bigger dents

 

[Muskrat]

more surface area too

 

[Spas]

Does anyone have any idea what would happen if I went to my insurance company about the dents? I mean, would my insurance go up, even though it wasn't my fault and didn't happen in my home area? I really can't stand looking at these things but I don't have the $$ to get them fixed

 

[X24]

Well, first I would see what its gonna cost to get it fixed. I havnt seen them so I cant even try to say what I think it might cost. The one in my door is gonna cost me $150, but I know the owner and he gives me deals. Most likely your insurance will go up. Some companies dont raise rates unless the damage is over $1000. Others do. It all depends on your past record and your deductable. Talk to your agent and see what they say before you put a claim in.

 

[Spas]

Sounds like good advice, CJ, thanks. I was considering having the black plastic C-pillars painted glossy black, I guess now I have a reason to do so

It's repainting the hatch that would cost some big time $$ I may just have the one big hole filled in and touched up with black paint, but I don't know what to do with the other one, because it's right above the 'explorer' lettering and obvious as hell.

 

[explornj]

I will have to go look at my truck in the day light again, I will keep you all posted

 

[Spas]

GrRRRrrrrrRRrrr

 

[Spas]

GrRRRRRrrrrrrrrRRRRr #2

 

[Spas]

But on a happier note, here's the freaky pic I was telling you about, Doug:

 

[Spas]

Who me? Have nothing better to do but scan in pictures? Nahhh

( I like how Matt's doing the Playboy pose, LOL)

 

[Spas]

I didn't get as good of pictures as I would've liked of you guys doing donuts..we'll have to remedy that next run! All the shots I have of Matt are like time lapse shots- you have to put them all together to see the direction the X was going in.

 

[X24]

Cool pics, except for the ones of your damage. That sucks!

Now, tell me how you managed to attach more than 2 pictures in a row.

 

[Spas]

Easy- Nobody bothered me between posts

 

[X24]

When I try to post more than 2 things in a row it wont let me. It just overwrites the previous one.

 

[DasFrem]

How did I miss this thread, I keep asking on Chris' board if anybody had any pics, and then I find them all here. Oh well, pics look good lindsey. You've got an eye for getting the action shots.

 

[DasFrem]

Oh yeah, since this is where all the other media is, I might as well post these videos. Like always, if I get off my lazy ass, I might get around to making more.

I... uhm. Erm. Thanks? lol

 

[X24]

But you gotta admit, when I'm there I offer a little competition. Hey, at least us ride-alongs are good for something.
