After school I took my son swimming, and after we left I saw some boys sitting up high on a wall next to the highway. And as I'm wondering how they got there and what they are doing there, I see one of them wind up and throw a handful of rocks.
Hit me square on the hood, resulting in the beauty above and an additional 6-8 chips/dimples in my hood. Thank God nothing worse happened, especially since I had my 5 year-old son in the car. If he wouldn't have been there, I would have chased them down. Coincidentally, that's what another guy did, who got hit in his work truck, and thanks to whom the cops caught the little shits. One 8, and one 11.
I got the mother's info from the cop and she's handling everything really well, so at least I know I'm getting my hood fixed up.
The bodyshop where I took my car for an estimate ($778, by the way) had Testarossa and a 2002 in the shop, both for a complete resto, which gave me confidence that they are a good shop. The owner seemed like a cool dude.
He is selling the 2002, by the way, if someone's interested. Edelbrock carb, straight pipe custom exhaust... Owner said it has around 195 or so HP. Sounds like a fun little car!

What kind of car do you have. Also, glad those kids got caught, I hope they learn a lesson not to damage other peoples property.

Okay, that is really dangerous and they were little shits, no doubt. But at least they were young little shits and propably not aware of the consequences.
But when I think about those scumbags who are throwing manhole covers or bricks from highway bridges, I want to go medieval on their stupid asses.

haha that's hilarious!! Looks like the same one indeed! And yes, the mom's insurance should cover the whole thing, and I'll make sure to be able to drive the "fastest car in the world" while it's being fixed.

The mom said they were pretty decent kids and she sounded sincere. I bet, like you said, they just didn't realize how dangerous it was.

Nice car, sorry that happened. Just out of curiosity, why didn't you take it to a BMW dealer?

I'm curious what body shop that is.. It can't be your ordinary bread&butter dent repair place if they are taking on classics like that..
Can you share?

Thanks. I'm looking for a decent shop for some rust issues on the van.
Yeah those are both the same car ENHANCE!
When I saw it two weeks ago, it had just gotten on the Parkway headed north from Rolling Road. I'm wondering where it was headed. Maybe contracting out some other work?
Seeing dat engine in your photo, also confirms that it's real.
—edit—
Looks as if it was missing a windshield when I saw it... and what does the box say?
I believe the evidence you'll find in that box will make it.. clear.

Yup, that's the $6500 windshield that the owner insisted be removed though the bodyshop advised against it, and subsequently cracked the moment the molding was touched. I guess it was headed to the glass guy!
The shop looks great though, I think they are the one I'm going with. I'll post an after pic so you can see the result.

Are we on top of this guy's restoration, or what?
We should start our own build thread.
