Bad Sunday

Running over this



Caused a bad day....







Transmission oil pan got busted amongst other things. Didn't realize it was plastic.











So far it is about $7k worth of damages, I'll need a new Cat converter, which is about $4k Yikes

If there are any issues with the Transmission then insurance company will replace with a brand new unit. We'll see. New transmission is about $15k plus labor, wow.

Lol, tow hitch. Didn't even see it coming. Vehicle in front of me went right over it and I didn't have enough time to move.

Yikes that's crappy. $4k for a cat? Doesn't even look very damaged but the replacement cost is waaaay high. See what you can work out to get something with high flow cats.

Holy sh!t, how tall was this tow hitch and how lowered at you? Sorry to hear that.

I've ran over a raccoon and a dead fox before, but they are squishy and i am at OEM height so no damage done.

I agree, doesn't look very damaged but since insurance is covering, might as well. Thought about having them replace with something else. let's see.

Not lowered at all, at competition pack height. Hitch didn't look very tall but i think i know what happened. Hitch hit the front plastic and then it bounced doing more damage.

Replace that cat with a catted x-pipe... and a whole exhaust for that matter.

Might as well upgrade your parts while your replacing stuff.

Was this just a random tow hitch that fell off someone's car into the middle of the road?

It really ticks me off when the negligence of another person causes grief for an innocent party. Just look at all the awful shredded tires littering the freeway

For $4k? You can go catless and still have money left over to blow it on other mods. That's insane!

Tranny should be okay if you stopped the car asap. Sux that the pan is made of plastic.
