[Absolut Speed]

Went autocrossing today as I often do. Some kid's Dad rolls over my t-top in the paddock area (the t-tops were flanked by my red tool box and a red and white cooler and a red helmet bag) He says sorry, gives me a phone # and leaves me with the mess. After he left I found the glass ripped the embroidery in the Firehawk floor mat it was resting on. My wife, who was feeling more reasoned, called him tonight. He won't order a t-top for me unless his insurance company says it was his fault. He said, "How was I supposed to see it?" Dunno, dark top top flanked by three red items on light colored concrete, seems difficult, I know. When my wife called back a 2nd time 15 minutes later (at 9:45pm) to mention the floor mat, he didn't answer the phone.

So now, I may have to order my own and Lord knows, could well end up in small claims court. The bad part is the 10th annual Firehawk Rally is this weekend in Ohio and I have no T-top.

I'm ticked, so you'll see this on a few boards.

When my T-top flew off and hit another vehicle. I was informed that it was considered an accident since part of my car struck another vehicle. If it had hit the ground, it would have been comprehensive. With that in mind, he hit part of your vehicle. That may qualify this as an accident and that may change things slightly. Just thinking out loud as I'm not a lawyer, I don't play one on the internet and I didn't sleep at a Holiday Inn Express last night.
