If your company provided you with an outside parking lot, you might see what insurance coverage they have, esp. since you wern't allowed 2 minutes to move it to a safer location.

Good luck with this, so sad to hear how much damage you received.

cmon guys... i hate to say it.... you are never gonna get the roof to come out right. I've seen them pop out hail dents. These guys follow the storms around. When the storm hit a2/ypsi in 99, these guys showed up everywhere advertising repair. I checked out a Volvo dealer and watched how they fixed the roofs. Fulcrum and the long pribars(?). They used a black light of some sort to see. I wasn't sold on the results. They also were only doing this to high end vehicles. I saw a lot of golfball looking hoods and roofs..... big sales going on at your local dealers for sure.
....ok the ti roof is small minus the moonroof....so I guess with some effort and mud it would look mint again...
It really blows though mav...
I bet you wish you woulda told him to fuk off and ran out and taken care of your ride. however you being a youngster... maybe your jewels aren't up for that kind of confrontation yet...what i mean is, you can't be in some career job yet. So this Boss hog you are saying wouldn't let you take care of your ride, is really not that important in the grand scheme of things. (still not sure what you do for cash)....
Listen, don't ever let ANY boss control you in such a manner....

I feel bad for you kid....

Thanks jess. For the sunroof, I have a guy in my area parting out his ti. I think he may have the panel left. Unfortunately, no fenders or hood.

Thanks, but I think I might be able to get it from the guy in my area. I'll let you know if he doesn't have it.

I regret listening to him. I should of used common sense instead of fear. I'm now stuck with a bill. Losing my job would've been worth it.

Too bad you can't sue him for the damage...this really sucks. I feel for you...like when my new car was stolen by high schools kids out for a joyride with only 6,000 miles on it. By the time they dumped it, my insurance had paid it off...lesson learned about being too attached to my car. Maybe Judge Judy could help?

I'm considering turning the car back to stock, and selling it as a parts car.
$2k for the car
$100 headlights
$1000 for wheels
$200 for spoiler
$50 for cf pillar cover
$30 SRI
$500 leather seats (i'll put the poly back in)

I've had my eye on a bmw in my area. Not going to give out to much info unless I get it. It's not a ti.

I wish. But it would probably be taken to higher claims court.

Damn Mav!....
Sorry for your LOSS!... That dude is a douche!... I would make him pay for the damage since he was the one that didn't let you leave to move your car!... Just because he doesn't give a crap about cars, he can't expect other people to live by his way of thinking, and he should be held accountable for his actions as "the boss". I would've left anyways when he said you couldn't move it...
SORRY DUDE, FOR REAL!...

It doesn't need park distance control, and hates decadence. It is musclepacked, yet lightly wound. It lets you feel the asphalt and get you going with the smallest touch of the pedal. It provokes, seduces, and demands to be driven hard. It looks, sounds, and smells like performance.
