I will do my best to get there, but do not wait for me. If I am not there I will shoot for the Cafe and maybe catch you on the road.

FYI - Dwight, Bob & I will meet up with Martin & Richard at the Johnson Exit in Ventura @ 1015 - 1025 then we'll head up to Goleta.

Bump to the top. Weather calls for clear skies and a full day sunshine so come join us.

LTs SSR · 12-29-2009, 08:36 PM

Won't be able to join ya... gotta work... but I'll be there in spirit!

RUN ROD RUN · 12-30-2009, 03:45 PM

Just got home from a wet drive north to have lunch with the Wed Retirees (Myself, Dailygolfer, PVPDriver, CANARY & BlueStreak).
With all the traffic we had to deal with, I'm guessing BlueStreak will be home after 4.
Anyway, the wet weather doesn't stop us from having a good lunch with good friends.

All are welcome to join us as we'll be meeting up again at Bob's Big Boy in two weeks.

We saw three other SSR going in the other direction from where we were going. The most I think we’ve seen while out on a drive, especially on a wet day..

Dailygolfer Just Called Me Saying That Bluestreak Just Called Him.

Well Dwight Was Almost Home From Lunch. Somewhere In Pasadena He Had Someone Stop In Front Of Him And As He Swerved He Hit His Left Front Fender And Then His Right Front Fender.

Dailygolfer Told Me Dwight Is Ok. No Injuries. He Is On The Side Of Road In Pasadena Waiting For The Police.

Dwight Will Be Looking For Rt And Left Fenders. More Info To Come As Soon As We Hear Anything.

That about covers it except for picture. I hit a 99 MB SUV See first picture.

picture 2 is the right front which caught the tier of a guy in the lane to my right but no damage to his vehicle.

3 is my left front from my phone camera on the freeway shoulder.

4 & 5 show my left front with a bit more resolution after I got home.

BlueStreak · 12-30-2009, 07:19 PM

Other than that it was a great day.

Hope I can get it fixed for Laughlin.

Looks like both fenders and the spear to me. The bumper cover is also scratched.

below is the front from straight on in case someone sees something I missed.

RUN ROD RUN · 12-30-2009, 07:25 PM

I'm glad you're home now Dwight. Sorry about the wreck.

Big Blue Ox · 12-30-2009, 07:36 PM

Dwight, a little paint polish should do it!

Actually, the right doesn't look bad at all. I've seen worse on my Babe, and it turned out fine.

I know of a guy in Piru, who charges $60. an hours, and it a miracle worker with metal, often building large parts of exotic cars from scratch, if you are interested.

Sorry I missed lunch, but I was in Culver City to get some parts installed on "Jessica", my daughters hot pink Corvette. The paint work on the car is amazing, and was very reasonable, too. Daniel @ International Auto Body & Collision, Culver City.

If AAA is open tomorrow I will get started on the process, otherwise on Monday. I will start with the shop that did my rear bumper in less than 48 hours, and see what they have to say since I was very happy with their work
after the dealer body shop did not even show up for the estimate appointment.

I'll go from there and hope forthe best as far as Laughlin is concerned. Might end up driving the Yukon and going off roading.

LTs SSR · 12-30-2009, 08:25 PM

Dwight... sorry to hear about your mishap!!! But glad you are ok!!! Yes.. I believe AAA is open tomorrow.. in SMO... I know its shortened ... but sooner you get it going the better the chance for Laughlin!

My thouoghts exactly I will call in the early AM and see what the recording says. Just checked my card and it says claims 24/7 so I will call NOW.

EDIT: report made and I can call the body shop tomorrow and see if they are open. So easy.

LTs SSR · 12-30-2009, 08:31 PM

Make sure they check the tires and the alignment, too!

HotRodGirl · 12-30-2009, 08:35 PM

Dwight I too am so very sorry ......but so very happy you are fine

Fingers crossed she's up and running like new again

Scott 0168 · 12-30-2009, 08:55 PM

Dwight, post for parts as soon as you know what you will need!

Find a good body shop with a guy that knows how to work metal. I think both fenders can be saved if you find the right hammer guy..

Thanks for the encouragement Art.

I'll see how it goes in the search.
