This happened last weekend. It was nice here and I decied to take Monte for a ride. I had to pull over to the side of the road (infront of my neighbors house) becuase I thought I forgot something. So I'm pulling over and I feel my tire get stuck and the whole car shifted forward and to the right. I panicked and quickly put my car in reverse and all I hear is this horrible scraping sound. I knew right away what I did. I was so pissed. So, I called the cops and filed a police report. The cop also called the village works out to address the problem. Well they came out and put up a horse to block "the danger". Now I have to go after the village for damages. I found out the bottom piece alone costs about $500 and thats not including painting. The thing that sucks is it's getting very close to car show season and I don't want Monte to miss out.

Dam dude, that sucks. I really hate the road crews sometimes. Out where i live they could care less if there is a giant pothole in the middle of the road.

 

Ouch.........


This could seriously affect your MOTM candidate standing... lol J/K...

 

Well look at it like this it could be alot, and I do mean alot worse. Persay a bent and very expensive aftermarket wheel, such as I have had to suffer thanks to a very large pot hole. Or how about an exploded front Razzi GFX which I have also suffered thanks to a tractor trailer tire cap. Check out the pieces of it that I was able to find, not very much is it?

 

Hey CMC, is the Razzi GFX kit a pretty good kit for our Monte's? I wanna do something GFX wise but Houston is full of pot holes from hell. Not to mention 10" high speed bumps everywhere.

 

the body damage you have isn't that bad....yes it sucks but a good body man could fix that very easily, you should see what i have to work with...

you dont need to buy a whole new piece to fix that

 

I know a very good body shop guy in my area. He can fix the broken tab, sand the srape down and shoot it for alot less money than some "dealership" body shop. I just wanted to get 2 estimates so I can go after the city to pay for my damages.
