So I got on the road last night to start my drive to Atlanta. I didnt get to far on 95s around Capitol Hights, I found the retread of an 18 wheeler. I couldnt get arond it, so I smacked it at about 80 mph. As you can imagine my car didnt like that too well. So I have a busted oil pump/pan, busted front bumper, and busted passanger front fender.

Had to spend about 3 hours on the side of the road waiting for a tow truck, and so forth...what a pain in my a$$!.

Called the insurance and they say that its considered an "at fault" accident so chances are my insureance rates are goin to go up now.

any how, guess that what you get...

I always did want new fenders and a bumper.

Damn that sucks I have always wondered how the hell re-treads are still legal.

 

Weren't you just complaining about too many miles on your car?? lol Be careful what you wish for.... or be specific

 

idk why thats consider at fault when it wasnt ur Fault. i mena if theres cars around you u really cant move into a different lane unless u cuz a accicdent. man i hate stuff like this.

 

Sorry about your accident, glad that your ok though. Will it be ready for the next meet? I do have some good news though, you can save some money by changing to Geico.

That sux man. I hate that trucks still use retreads. I thought they're illegal for use on the street.

 

 

Damn Caelin, that sucks big time bro! Lemme know if these is something I can do to help!

 

Thanks for all the comments guys. I wish that retreads were illegial, evidenitly not though.

I dont know if it will be ready in time. Once I get ahold of the adjuster then we have to go look a the car, since there are quite a few things that he needs to see. Then I need to get the mechnical work done at ISP then the body work done at my body shop.

So it will def be several weeks before I have the car back.

Man sorry to hear that I had a similar thing happen to me last year but it hit my grill with a piece of re-tread and dented my hood. No where near as bad as you but I know how you feel. I dont se how they can blame this on you since it came off a truck in front of you. I think it should be a No fault claim. Best of luck!

 

NOOOOOO!!!! WTF man that sux! damn man i feel sorry for you. Yea i actually moved down in GA so im like 40 mins from the show. I went on sat and gonna go bakc on sunday. BTW whats a retread?
