you should listen to smitty.. i have heard about people doing that several times.. and getting all the stuff fixed for free. so in your case you would be getting free upgrades.

It is the state's responsibility to keep the roads clear of debris. Let your insurance company know that you filed a complaint. They will then subrogate (go after) the state for the loss.

There is no reason to pay out of pocket.

actually hitting a stationary object is considered your fault. At least in california that is how it works. who's to say that you didn't just hit somebody, and then filed a complaint saying you hit something on the road (the claim is almost treated as uninsured motoroist). . . . you rates will most likely go up from hitting the stationary object. Good luck.

You can afford those things but not insurance with a decent deductible?

Dooood... for real!!! No sense in modding the car if that's all you have to drive it on...
Oh wait... Our cars are Rally bred... Sweet, just make it off-road and on your way to work or whatever fly over it like you're a rally driver. If the cop can catch you just explain to him that you're a driver in training for the FIA World Rally.
