Ok. So some of you know that I had a incident with a deer about a month ago that destroyed my front bumper, both high beam lights and the support structures of both.
I ended up getting all new bumper and highbeams along with a shiny new glossy paint. Along with other misc parts replaced...Took two weeks to hunt them down...but I got them.
TOTAL $1319.82 (Insurance covered it all)
So two days ago I am going down I-40 and I have a blowout!!! Not an uncommon thing if your tires are in ill shape. But my tires were in great shape. I had an oil change 3 days prior and they checked the tread depth and all 4 were 8/32.....My tires Dayton Daytona SR's start out at 11/32....So...what happened to it!!
(Still under investigation) Checking with Bridgestone/ Firestone about a warranty on that Junt.
TOTAL $ 166.23 for new tire, balance, and alignment.
So now here comes the next chapter in my curse. Commuting to work a piece of someones tire kicks up from the road and smacks my 6GC in the face. I don't stop because I figured no harm done cause it went off to the left of my car. Well I was wrong. Got to work and noticed a nice big space of paint missing from the newly painted bumper.
Where I stand now you ask?
Well after consulting with the body shop, the are going to rule it a paint flaw in my favor and repaint the entire bumper again at no charge to me along with a rental car.
I am happy!!
Is this a new leaf turning over, or is something else around the bend. Wish me luck.
