I hate big Trucks...!!! I never never never drive behind them , just hate being behind a truck , i pass them every change i get. My friend one time drove behind a truck and had the same thing happen , half of the truck's tire went under his car (Jetta) and damaged his plastic shield underneath.

Sucks that u have to pay for that one.

You guys should secure your load alot better. I've had plenty of rocks and stones come jumpin my way and hit my car. Even had a piece of glass come at my car and gash my hood. Thankfully it wasn't my evo or while I was on my bike.

be careful with all state. they neglected to tell us about a monthly vehicle surcharge of 100 bucks per month on an 01 ///m3. its actually on the statement as a surcharge and i have never heard of this before, so essentially the insurance was 100 bucks more per month than they quoted. thats not right. i cant imagine what they do with an evo.

Claim it as comprehensive with your insurance company... seems like an " act of God" type accident to me... your ins. co. will want to say its collision but fight it... I have a $0 deductable on comp. claims you make dont raise your rates... sorry to hear about your evo... I would be so pissed

i'd be angry too, but i think i have a super high deductible, so it would be pointless for me to report something like this to insurnace if it happened to me. good luck getting your car started.

yeah that really sux. I hate big trucks. ESPECIALLY when they are in the fast lane. OHHHH that pisses me off. Keep your big *** slow truck in the right line. I don't even see a logical reason as to why something so big should be going anymore than 5 over the limit.

it's amazing to me that the transportation authorities allow big trucks to use re-treads... still. those things come apart all the time. a friend of mine was crippled by a flying truck tread while riding his motorcycle. this past christmas while driving up the ny for the holidays a truck re-tread did 2,200 worth of damage my bro-in-law's audi... if he had been in his lotus it prolly would have done 22,000. the trucking industry saving $ is more important than anything evidently. you think tony stewart's transporter uses re-treads? not.
