Temp Hire + Forklift + Z28 = Damage

douchbag...

The dumpster he was aiming for was well over 30' away, yet makes a sharp left turn into the rear of my car...

Goes in the shop tomorrow for repair... The only good thing about working for an insurance company, I handed them the $1850 quote and 8 days later the check was in my hands...

When one of my co-workers came to me to tell me, all I could think was I had two forks penetrating into sheetmetal or glass... When I saw this, I was... eh, so what... I just didn't want sheetmetal damage... I'm going to have them not palce the badges back on and see how the clean look works...

OH, and the shop padded the bill a bit to fix the curb rash I got last summer on the front...

sucks to hear"dude,somebody just hit your car!"

You got a very good quote.

Consider looking around and see if you can't get all that fixed for about half price.

That's EXACTLY how it was, but, "with a forklift" on the end of it...

Yup!!! That's another bonus... I swear the dealer did it with those rubber-banded dealer plates prior to me picking it up last April, but I COULD NOT prove it was their fault... I swear it wasn't there when I test-drove it 3 days earlier... But after i got it home, I found it... But, I had no proof other than questionable memory...

Sucks but working out well for you it sounds like. I think you will like the debadged look on the rear. I have been debadged for 3 years now and love it

Me too, its hideous. Once I got the SS off there though, I liked the clean look.

Are you testing a new BBQ grill or what in that pic? Looks like maybe heat treatment I have no clue. Sophisticated use of computers!

Did the forklift operator get fired or find desk duty after the mishap?
