I lived in a place only ranked only 2nd to San Fransisco when it comes to life style, you know hippies, freaks and college idiots. Tonight I was heading towards the mall to get some last minutes shopping done. The usually route I take to get to the main highway, has a hill in the route. So its dark I'm crusing up the hill and I see 5 feet infront of me a tire rolling. No chance to take evasive action the tire hits my front left side. Imagine what I said at that moment WTF FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!.
So basically the road was black; the tire was black; the environment was black, so I couldn't see a tire ROLLING DOWN THE ******* HILL.

Pull over to examine, its not that bad. The list of the wounded parts.
1.) Head light cracked and broken mounting points.----$225.00 + shipping
2.) Cracks in bumper from the creasing of the bumper at the point of impact. Might be able to be buffed out *hopefully* ----$40.00
3.) Various marks in bumper from tire impact. ------Buffing included when cracks from above buffed.
4.) Edge of front frender bent in about 1/2 so it doesn't line up. Fixing I don't know probably $20.00. My buffing guy might be able to fix that. (he also does dents.)
Total--------$285.00.

So how did it happen....... 2 thoughts
1.) Kids or someone, they're know by my as ******* rolled a tire down the hill.
2.) Tire fell out of a truck and happened to land so that it would roll.
Anyone got a left headlight in good condition?

Thanks for reading.

same thing happened to my friend, cept it was a civic, and the wheel hit the windsield. New hood, roof, and windshield. Looked like that civic that got run over by the hummer (the OWNED pic) if anyone has ever seen that pic.

 

if you have insurance it should be covered under the comprehensive, since this was an "act of god" (IE> the object was moving and hit *YOU*, not you hit it!!) Usually your deduct is less for compreshensive, but it depends on how you have it setup. Also, your insurance shouldn't go up if you claim it.
