TowRig.com - Diesel Discussion and Tow Tech

It's time to see the damage that has incured to your rig since you've owned it. Rather it be vandalism, torn up, broken off, ripped apart, scratched up, exploded, etc etc....let see or hear about it.

I've had a broken mirror and driver side roll up window. The dealership hit my mirror on the lift working on an unrelated problem. At least they fixed it.

next would be my window, this happened two days ago. I parked my truck under a tree by the road I live on. I thought a truck kicked up a rock but the glass guy thought it was a beebee shot that shattered the window.:rolleyes: Glad I have tinted windows, otherwise I would probably had glass all over my interior...

My kid spilled a whole 1.5 ounce bag of those little gummy fruit snacks in the back seat the other day. It was brutal, man. Took me like 20 whole seconds to clean it up.

I backed into my shed one time when I had a tractor sprayer on the back of my truck :doah: . Wife and son were in the truck with me when I did it. Slightly tweaked by rusty a**ed bumper, but it is ugly anyways.

I don't have any, yet... Oh wait, I think there is a rock chip somewhere on the front of the hood, and a couple on the rockers... ;)

Well no pics but MY WIFE!!:doah:

Yes, my wife was driving my diesel and SOMEHOW she managed to park the front end over a cement landscaping wall (1 to 2 foot tall) so when she backed out of her spot she ripped off the driver's side fog/driving light & plastic skirt :eek:
It gets even better...I found out cuz I see the light hanging from the front of the truck after she parked it in the driveway..just swinging by the wires..I walk up to the truck and the plastic skirt is ripped away from the bumper and the light is swayin in the wind WTF!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!:mad: :mad:
"What, were? Oh I didn't see that" WTF!!!!!!!!!!! How could you not see that! *&(^%^$*&^&@!$#@!!@()@~*^&@:mad: :mad:
Killin me:doah:

My wife can't park her GP-GTP without getting all cady-wompus. No way is she driving my HD! Maybe that's why it's still in good shape after 4 years, NOBODY drives it but me, and in VERY limited scenarios, my son (he can pull it out to wash it... ;) I'll pull it in... )

Lets see if I can find the pics!

Well, af select few us us have seen what an 48re with all Suncoast's parts in it looks like when you take out the Torque Management system on your new 06. Lets just say that I couldn't get the input shaft out, so its on a palet headed to Suncoast in FL. Was a show when it went though. Oh, well, what can you do.

Come on, you can't just post a pic like that with no story!! WTF?!

BTW- looks like I might be handing the crown for Carnage King over. Thats pretty narly!!!

Nothing too hardcore, but I blew the yoke out of my 94 F350 (10.25 rear end) on the street, unloaded shifting from first to second. I think that towing this load is what really stressed it....

20k GCW, with 3.55s in the axles and 41" tires..... the drivetrain was hating life that day.

What were you doing for rpms? 1100?? :eek:

Holy cow! That took a little bit of power to do that! Nice!waytogo

Well... not my tow rig (which towed the mess home), but I unsuccessfully tried parking my Corvette in a concrete wall a few weeks ago (walked away without a bruise if you were concerned).

That sucks, does insurance even cover a race car?

Hey, you park like my wife! ;)

Glad you're ok. Last time I wrecked a 'Vette it was at 135 and I DIDN'T walk away. Cage a-pillar dog leg folded and broke loose taking off my left leg at the knee. The put it back on with an artificial knee, and after a month and a half in traction, I spent a year in a wheel chair. That was the end of my dreams of professional racing, completely lost my "edge" and couldn't handle the speed after that... Good luck with the rebuild...

Based on back in the 80s when I was involved, insurance generally will not cover any high risk usage like racing unless you go for something like the Loyd's of London or one of the few high risk entries that will write paper on a race car. But nobody does it since the cost to cover for a couple of races would equal most of the cost of a car anyway. And if you can't keep it together longer than that, you shouldn't be playing with the big boys anyway. Biggest concern is health insurance on the drive since typical policies exclude injuries sustained while racing. Ask me how I know... <sigh>

Hey, you park like my wife! ;)

rotfl

Just to add to what BadDog said every ins co that Ive checked with will not cover a vehicle if its entered in any type of racing/competition event other than buying a policy just for that type activity (if the particular ins co youre working with even offers it).

Point is if you flog your street car/truck in any type of organized competition then break it your stuck with the bill to fix it as far as your ins is concerned.

BadDog,
Sorry to read about your unfortunate on track incident. :(

Fortunately in my case I had all the right safety gear and the cage aft of the fire wall didn't deform at all. Actually in my class everything forward of the firewall is pretty much stock Corvette. Though it is now totally trashed, the RF siderail, bumper and subframe absorbed the impact and diffused it to the LF siderail as well. Pretty safe design all in all. For those interested, I describe the experience on this page of my racing website:
http://www.c66racing.com/Safetygear.htm

And as those mentioned above, there is insurance available for racecars, but it is prohibitively expensive. This was my first body damage of any kind in 30 races, so it works out to about $500 per race in crash damage. Insurance is about five times that much.

Yea, the RPMs were pretty ridiculous on the highway, good for economy though. :D Unloaded at least. I was wishin for more power when pulling some of the grades on I80,81,84 out East, but the truck did it with the pyro at 1250 and the coolant temp gauge headin towards H on alot of the grades...

Non intercooled, and alot more fuel than stock will do that though. I have to give credit to that truck, it handled it like a champ.
