Unhappy Wilma!!!!!!!!!!!!

After the loud crash of trees falling everywhere and the sound of wood cracking off my roof... what hurt the most was the neighbor's aluminum carport landing on my G35! VERY DEPRESSED! Every panel of the car is dented and/or scratched! Allstate adjuster won't even look at the car until Nov. 8th. Looks like the Nov. 19th meet will not include my car.

No power at home, (like 95% of SFL), so I'm finding some relief at the office.

Anyone have recomendations on a SFL body shop?

Got me too. Mine got scrathed to all hell on every side by roof debris flying at 110+mph fromt he building across from me. I got some great video footage of the roof and gutters flying off and being tossed around like paper, I just wished my car had been somewhere safer

Thought about that but it was a little too late... I was one of those nay sayers that didn't think the storm would cause too much damage. Boy was I wrong!

Please... any body shop recommendations would be helpful. I want to have some estimates ready for the adjuster so I'll need to get to some price quotes soon... thats assuming I can find a body shops that has power

Why can't you guys drive further North and get an adjustor to look at your car in the next few days?

Sorry to hear about your misfortune.

I WANT MY SIG BACK!

I heard bad news for you guys on the radio today.

25% of SFL will have power by Nov 1.
75% of SFL will have power by Nov 15.

by that logic (25%/week) it'll be the 23rd or so before all have power again.

Sorry!!

...whoa, that sucks. If you look on the brightside at least you have allstate, everytime I've had trouble they've taken really good care of everything. Hope everyone else turned out okay.

Raul, I'm sorry to hear what happened and I hope you get everything resolved in a timely manner.

My parents too recieved damage to their business and home (they live in Cape Coral, 30min away from Naples) and I will be travelling back down this weekend to help clean up some debris and to see them.

Thanks guys. We are dealing with it... at least the family is safe and no one got hurt. With or without the car, the trip to Deleon Springs will be that much sweeter if we still don't have power by then. At least we'll take advantage of a hot shower and some decent food.

I was lucky enough to have a garage. I knew paying $100 a month for a 1 car garage would pay off...

Good luck on getting it fixed. Who knows...your car might even look newer from the day you bought it after everything is all said and done. Bodykit, anyone?
