Dang-it! /bcforum/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/wall.gif Who knew traffic cones could do so much damage!
There I was, tooling down the road minding my own business, when out of nowhere - from under the jacked up 4x4 in front of me pops about 4 orange traffic cones!
INCOMING!.....
Well I managed to dodge the first two, but the second hit my right finder – scuffing the paint but nothing any worst than some if the scuffs I already had. But the fourth cone was the fabled golden BB and got sucked right up into my grille work.
Next thing I knew I hear all kinds of violent noises & have a nasty vibration emanating from under my hood as I pull off to the side of the road to investigate.
Damage report:
The vertical & horizontal grill pieces are toast. Also damaged was the electric cooling fan (broken blade) & shroud (dent) where pushed back into my “NEW” condenser that is now bent. The new dryer was also pushed back but looks to be ok.
The good news is even with all that damage the A/C system is still working and my new C&R radiator wasn’t damaged.
So from what I can tell – I will only need to replace the fan, mounting hardware and the grill pieces.
I tell ya - if'n it werent' for bad luck, I'd have no luck at all. /bcforum/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/cryin.gif
