Default D@mn Road Debris

What a way to start off the damn morning. I was just crusing along the interstate heading to work and the foolio in front of me kicked some crap up and hit the bumper and hood. The red scuffs look like they can be buffed out but it went through the paint in some spots and chipped the hood a bit also.

I wonder if I should even call the insurance on this one they might total out this 1998 216,000 mile car out lol.

Red scuffs look like they can be buffed out. As for the damage to the hood, looks like your gonna need some bondo and some new paint.

I call my TA a road debris magnet. I had a GTO in front of me not to long ago kick up something, and it hacked the **** out of my bumber, and took a few good sized ships out of it where the running light is...

I haven't bothered to get an estimate yet. Afraid to.

My gf took the beater today. She drives it work when she is on my end since they broke into her car a few months ago. I drive the firebird to work those days.
