Damaged During Transport
This is my car (damage not visible) followed by pics of the damage done by the shipper. Bought the car a month ago and had it in our garage 4 days before taking it to a body shop! The car was shipped on the bottom level of a double decker transport and the idiot driver dropped the upper rack onto the roof. Not exactly what we expected when we bought our dream car!

Sorry to hear that Rich. Thats enough to spoil your summer.
 Very nice looking Chevelle none the less. I just had a car delivered to my house yesterday. The shipper used a single enclosed trailer.Very happy with the service. Again sorry to hear that.

When ever we get it back we will take a boat load of pics.
This has been such a crappy experience that once we got the car home we were both so pissed off that we didn't want to take too many pictures. Now we are having to fight some dead beat trucking company that wants to drag their feet in paying the bill. I have a feeling it's gonna get ugly.

Thanks for all the compliments everyone.
I called my insurance co. last week and was told nothing could be done on their end because the car was not in my posession. The trucking co. knows it's their fault, I have paper work from the driver showing the damage, emails from the owner saying he will pay, but the shop wants the money up front and for some reason he doesn't want to do that. He seems to want proof that the car is fixed before he pays. That to me makes no sense, he damaged my car, he owes me the money it would cost to fix it. It's up to me if I want to fix it or take the wife on a vacation. Anyway I have written an email saying if it's not paid by Monday I will be getting a lawyer come Tuesday.

Too bad you have to go that route but some times that's what you have to do. Hope they come around and agree to pay for the repairs.

I feel so sorry for you and your wife. After reading what happened, your insurance company hit the nail on the head.
The car was not in your possession, so it was not yours yet. Did the previous owner contract the shipping company, or did you ? What does the paperwork, from the shipping company, state as far as if any damage was done ? I hope that you can get this situation settled soon. Please keep us informed.
