Angry Pissed of *help*

I am F U C K I N G pissed I was driving on the highway, and out of nowwhere this peice of rock, or wood peice log comes at my car. I see it bounce of my car, and tought oh well another chip on the paint. Well when I got down to check it the headlight assembly was cracked, and broken.

Now I do not know what to do.

I need help

How much does the left headlight assembly cost?
Should I claim it under my insurance since my deductiable is $250 If the headlight is more than that then I should claim it.

Call your insurance agent and ask if a claim will increase your premiums and by how much. Then decide whether to file a claim.

I would just upgrade the headlights and eat the cost. Either way you go, you'll have to spend money out of your pocket. Good luck.....BTW, nice pic!
