A Bit of Bad Luck - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

A bit of bad luck - I was driving the Camaro on I-64 East, in Norfolk, to VA Beach to spend a little time with my son. A car to my left was crowding me wanting to move right, so I started to change lanes to the right. I ran over something in the road. I don't think the damage is as bad as I first thought. It cut the bottom of the front bumper (only visible from underneath), removed the front spoiler, and caused the left rear tire to go flat. I had it towed to a Chevy dealership to have the damage assessed. Hopefully the tire doesn't have to be replaced. With a new spoiler and the tire repaired, it should be fully road-worthy and only a little worse for wear for the drive back home later this week. I'm very thankful it wasn't worse. I was able to drive it off the interstate to a safe location on a side street.

On a side note, I have to say it was handy having OnStar.

Man don't be pushed around. Let that ass hole hit you it's his fault.

Defensive driving...there's always someone on the road acting like an ass, push back -- but if it's a 45th, make sure it's not me!!!

Unless someone cooborates your story, it is his word versus your word. I lost a battle on this same issue. I now I videotape my driving for evidence.
