Ran Over Debris This AM
Heard a clank. Guy in front blew his tire from it. I was a little luckier. If you call it lucky
Passenger sideskirt and side fender slightly damaged. I think my car is also not aligned. Veering to the right a little.
P.S. The wife is more upset than I am.

ouch! Sorry about that. If you have 3rd party insurance with low deductible it should be covered. That is my guess.

My deductible is $500 for 100k per vehicle up to 300k incident. I dont even care about the 500, just sad the baby is hurt. Will update the condition after I get it on a lift.

Dang sorry to hear bro... it sucks! But dont worry, it looks like very little cosmetic damage & maybe an alignment. All fixable easily.

Fender flare is warped. Isn't flush with headlight or hood anymore. Was worse than it actually looked. Inspected bottom many times. Doesn't look like any mechanical problems, except maybe needs alignment. First incident always hurts the most.

Been there. Sorry, bud. A good body shop and work around the deductible if you go that route. Hopefully you got the guy's info so his insurance can pay.

Technically, at least this was the law where I grew up, if the lead car drives over debris and it damages a following car, they're still liable for the damage.

I ran over a deer on a backwoods county road one night - I feel your pain.
@CoolBDPhenom03 - that's one hardcore law - I hope you're not in Texas or Louisiana - there seems to be stuff on the roads around here too often :x

Sorry Khmer....and your car is a beauty...
Hang in there. Repair the right way and get her back on the road. And get your wife something hello kitty to calm her down. They love that crap...
