Lawnmower vs. 4runner
My landlord ran his huge lawnmower into my car this morning... nice size dent on my front quarter panel. Looks like i'll be out of a car for a few days. I hadn't posted on the site in a while, so I thought I'd share the unfortunate news with someone!

That is a big mower! If you lived in Ga my friend could fix it very well for cheap. Good thing is it looks like it only hit one panel, that shouldn't cost too much. Gets pricey especially when the damage gets spread to many areas.
Hope it works out for you,
Maxil

damn, I wouldn't want to see what the lawnmower looks like! So what happened? Did he give it a little too much gas around turn #3 and spin out or what?

I think when a lawnmower gets to the size to do damage like that it becomes a tractor.
Hope you get it back quick.

I gotta wonder, which insurance policy would cover something like this? Surely, a lawnmower isnt listed on someones car insurance policy. So does it go through homeowners?

Dude, leave it and keep the cash! Then make up some story about how you were tooling around in Mexico and some crazy bandito's try to steal your ride and you fended them off and all the evidence you have is this dent in your fender!! Chicks dig that stuff!
Or just get it fixed....whatever!
