I have recently started driving that very same road and thank God I'm in a rental car. Does NJ import road debris & potholes from other places to put there or what? Frankly, anything happens there - only luck and crazy skills will get you out without rumpled metal.

I'm having a difficult time visualizing just where the wood chipper comes into play...

...importing road debris...

LMAO!

GS4Fun: Soo soo sorry to hear about that. I think all of us GS enthusiasts feel your pain on that one. Hopefully your insurance company will work with you to get you back to sqaure one. After all, that's what they typically claim to be there for.

Good luck to you.

Well..this thing is going in to the surgeon tomorrow to remove the tumor. Should be brand spanking new when it comes out. Of course when its in there, I might as well paint the whole nose, the driver's side door and the rear bumper and the Greddy lip i should receive on Tuesday too.

They have probably one week to finish this work. I have to get the car inspected this month (it is due in June) and then its off to VEGAS!

Listen I'm a NJ police detective, ur best bet is to make a police report and make a claim because u may be looking at thousands in damage.
