What caused the flat on the H2?
Is the car in the first picture the one that caused the damage to the H2?

Larry, I think the tire was hit so hard that it unbeaded and all the air came out.

ain't life just grand????

Actually, you came out pretty good considering the Tokyo Tin Can is looking at a full quarter panel and front fender replacement ++++ any steering component damage. Although, this probably doesn't make it any easier to see your baby scratched-up.

Truly sorry to see this. It should be relatively minor to a body shop's eyes. Any account of how this happened (besides the obvious impact from a burgundy compact car). In other words, drunk driver or just lost control?

Albie 07-30-2003 07:08 PM

I know Steve I hope I can get it back before Pismo

Looks like the tube steps may have saved the body! Who says they're worthless!

Long live tube steps! They saved your door and front side, imagine if the red tin can smash straight into your Hummer, big damages for sure. Tube steps can prevent most door and shopping cart dings too, I tested that a few times, really work.
Sorry to see that.

The worst part of the whole thing, was it was the last night it was going to be on the street. I found a new place where i have underground parking. It was a matter of a few Hours.

Your H2 did great, sorry for the little damage, no feelings for the person that hit your H2

Steps & rails do lots to protect
we cut up the cart to get it out from under my H2

Albie,

I've got a pair of side-bars that I'll just about let you have. Let me know if ya want them. Everybody knows how I feel about sidebars!

Jason....a supply of feminine hygiene products would have been just as useful!

Thanks Steve, but I think they already ordered them. Well the Final est was $3500 in Damages.

O yeah one last pic

Was this an accident or was the driver under the influence? I think it would be hard to be an accident unless they were just plain not paying attention. Sorry for the mishap but if you were considering doing any outside changes now would be the time to do it while it's being fixed. Sometimes blessing come in disguises. Post pics when you get it fixed.

Well what happen was this person was driving down the street and I guess ran into it. It happened around 6:30 in the morning. I was already up watching the Tour De France, but didn;t hear it. My buddy heard and didn't go out to the street till 7:30 to see what happened. So I went out and saw my ride all tore up..

Ahhhhhhh.....that would account for that hoffically loud screaming I heard resonating from the east that day: I thought it was a sonic boom!

Albie: tell the shop you already have a new set of sidebars and they'll credit you with the cost of replacing them...I bet they'll cost about $550 on the ticket...you can have mine for a song and come out of this $300 ahead! Just call the shop and tell them you have some already and they'll credit you!

So was that other damaged vehicle the culprit or another victim???

Albie 07-31-2003 04:19 PM

Yeah the red car was that bad guy!!!!!!!
Hey Steve I am gonna call the shop and see what they can do. BTW Dunno if it will be ready for Pismo. I was wondering if I could rent a H2 or something.
