Earlier this month, I had the fluids changed on the car. Engine oil, manual transmission, flushed the cooling system, the brakes, clutch fluid and power steering fluid. I also made sure that the heating and cooling systems were topped up and ready for summmer.
Last Friday June 11, I decided to take it out of the garage, clean the insides and eventually polish the outside for summer. At around 5pm I went out to get some supplies, had dinner outside and came back around 8pm and this is what I saw
Nobody claims to have seen anything. It's parked at the very end of my driveway about 150 feet from the nearest street. It's practically at the backyard !
Here's the sad part, I didn't have storage insurance on it since I figured I wouldn't need it anyway since the car was inside the garage. I haven't taken any roadside insurance for it since I was intending to do that on the first week of July. Bottomline, I had no coverage and everything was going to come straight out of my pocket.....sigh :-(
I made a couple of calls to local glass repair shops. If I had insurance on it, I would still need to pay a deductible of $200-300, add to that the hassle of having the car towed (since it's not drivable with that kind of driver-side damage) and temporary insurance for at least a day. However, since I would be paying for everything, I received quotes between $480-$530 plus taxes ($540-.... looks like this is going to be another DIY project.
