Attacked by a tree!
I am getting too old for this $#!+ !!!!
The security guard comes into my office and tells me that there is a "situation" that requires my immediate attention.
Luckly, my company is paying for a new hood, left fender, windshield, headlights, and a complete paint job.
Parts = $2600
Paint and materials = $1200
Labor = $3800
Look on the Vice President's face = Priceless
BTW: I am now in the market for a L-sportline or TTE front end / lip. Anyone care to help a brother out?

The landscape crew pushed it back into an upright position and attached the support cables.
Apparently they cracked the trunk just above the roots, so the next strong wind gust ......

Sorry to see that happen. But as the old saying goes, "get a lemon and make lemonaid". I'd say you have an opportunity to get an after market body kit and have part of the paint and install costs covered under your insurance .
