Default so pissed!!!

I was driving from Oregon back to Utah on sunday when some idiot cut me off in the passing lane in the snow. I had to slam on my brakes and swerve over to avoid hitting him, only to lose control of the car and slide sideways off the freeway at 60 mph. He kept driving and i was stuck in 4 ft of snow on the side of the highway.

i literally had to roll down my window and climb out because there was so much snow. anyways, 3 hours later a tow truck pulls me back onto the road and my car is still drivable. my s4 front bumper was heavily damaged and my Rieger skirts (sides and back) were ripped off from the snow.

the good news is my insurance said they would pay for a $1000 of stuff even though its not covered on my policy. I didn't understand that part but am obviously ok with it. the good thing is my side skirts were fiberglass and now im getting everything abs plastic through lltek.com. im even gonna get better looking side skirts.

ill keep u guys updated when its finished.

was the ahole in an SUV? i ask that because many SUV drivers think they're impervious to snow. so they drive like they're on dry ground until they either crash or make somebody else crash. it's good that insurance is paying for part of it. i'm confused as to why they aren't paying all of it. hope you get it fixed asap. get some facelift tails in the process ; )

yeah, it was a nissan xterra actually. i reached a new lever of pissed off after all that happened.

insurance said that my Rieger body kit wasn't covered because i didn't tell them about it and my rate probably would have been higher. but they are giving me an extra $1000 i guess to get the parts. i dont quite understand it, i just know its getting replaced. i may not be changing the tails but im going to have them paint the chrome pieces so it will look a little better, haha
