You guys remember this video from June when my new car had 600 miles on it?
I got the hail damage fixed and I now have 2200 miles on it. I was coming home from work on Friday in rush hour traffic and a 1 ton truck pulling a 30ft trailer with no cargo was in front of me.. As the truck and trailer starting bouncing I could see gravel on the trailer sliding towards the back. I couldn't get enough distance in time... Gravel came off the trailer and sprayed my car and breaking the windshield. I pulled up next to the truck and honked and got his attention. The driver rolled his window down and asked me what was wrong, I told him he just broke my windshield, he yelled back at me to just call ACME... Yeah right, I told him to pull over and after he realized he was stopping one way or the other he stopped on his own...... I got his insurance information and drivers license, I took pictures of them with my phone. We stood there next to the trailer and I showed him big pieces of gravel on the trailer and he reached over and grabbed some and threw it off to the side of the road. I picked it up and put it in my pocket. He said he forgot to sweep the trailer off... Im hoping that there isnt a big push back from the insurance since the car has low mileage and he pulled over....
My first new new car, very frustrating...
