Driving to work on the freeway this morning the Mustang, when out of nowhere comes this... thing. Looked like a two foot square piece of dirty aluminum foil, maybe a heat shield or something dropped off some old junker. It hit the front driver's side corner and went... who knows where. There was no one to my left so it probably wound up next to the center divider. It happened so fast the nerve impulses to take evasive action were still traveling through my system.
No dents or major body damage, but deep scratches, some to the metal, all around and about the front corner of the car. On the bumper, the leading edge of the hood, the window over the headlight and even a couple on the side panel. It could not have been a worse shape hitting at a worse angle to damage more parts if you tried.
So, email into Insurance lady and I guess going for estimates the rest of the week. This is going to be expensive. :( Replace the headlight assembly and probably paint the hood, bumper and side panel. I forget what my deductable is.
Yeah, it's a Monday.
And now, I must swear. Fuck!
