Driving back to work after lunch on a highway, I was about 4-5 car lengths behind a semi with a dumptruck trailer when he hit a bump. A huge cloud of red dirt and gravel appeared ahead of me as it fell off the lip of the trailer and hit the ground. I tried to swerve out of the way but ended up going through the middle of it.
When I got back here to work I discovered dings and a small crack in my windshield, and at least a few paint chips out of my hood and front grill. I can't tell exactly how bad it is yet as the ST is dirty (pollen + rain + black ST = icky lookin' vehicle), but the few dings I can see obviously chipped the paint.
Can anyone give me an idea of what it'll run to get this repaired? I JUST had the windshield replaced (at my own expense) 2 WEEKS AGO, so I know what that'll run. But what about the body work... will they have to repaint the entire hood, for example, to fix a few little divots?
