I know how you feel, I had a mishap in mine over the weekend, too. A lady backed into me in the parking lot where I work.

Joined: Oct 2005 Posts: 4,168 | I was starting to think about the tree branches when the wind was picking up a little towards the end of the day. Made me tie down one pop up and put away the other. Otherwise, it was a really nice campground. | | | | | Joined: Jan 2011 Posts: 152 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Jan 2011 Posts: 152 | I was in the parade at the springfield route 66 rally and dropped a valve. I slowed down the parade and limped to my parking spot. I still had a good time, It is a great event.

You have a truck to take it home in...(you know the lemon/lemonade thing) at least no one got conked in the head. | | | | | Joined: Aug 2005 Posts: 6,383 Ex Hall Monitor | | Ex Hall Monitor Joined: Aug 2005 Posts: 6,383 | I prefer to park under a tree but I sometimes get bit if it's a elm or there are a couple of birds in the tree. I've never had one lose a limb. Hagerty has a good reputation so hopefully they'll treat you right.

At the end of the show it started to rain. The guy was in such a hurry to leave he cut it too close to my front bumper and rubbed the side of his car down it. he didn't even stop. A little compound and elbow grease got the paint off the bumper, but his car will never be the same. I'd have felt sorry for if he stopped, but....
