forum_emoticons.html	[quote=taxiguy,30160]Well, as much as I do love the dear, dear Pink Marquis, I found a car for sale on the internet that I just couldn't pass up. I won't have it in my posession until tomorrow afternoon (becuase the banks were closed when I decided to buy it, so can't get the money out until they open at 9:00) I want it to be a surprise, so I'll post pictures and info tomorrow when I have the car. For now, I'll give you guys some hints and see if you can guess it! 1. It's American 2. It's a convertible 3. It has a 4-cylinder Turbocharged engine 4. It is a 1984 model 5. It has a fully digital dashboard (very advanced for the time) 6. It's 1 of only 1768 of it's kind (for the model year) 7. It has 19,000 original miles (for a 25 year old car!!) Now, what model car did I buy? :bogoss:[/quote]

When you will fix the car, it's a good opportunity to remove and destroy the badge. :tongue:

taxiguy

The latter. It's going to get a new top and glass for 900$ (insurance is not willing to pay)

Max, was this vandalism or did something go wrong when you to put the roof down?

Very ugly are the thousands of tiny glass-dots everywhere. You can handle with a dust-cleaner for hours and will always find more of them. :ohwell:

Years after the window of my car was broken, I still find pieces of glass in the car from time to time :grin:

I have no idea about the American insurance-system, but in Germany even the cheaper "half-insurance" covers broken windows. Also the higher costs for mounting of windows in Convertible-roofs.

I must admit, that I don't know, which company repairs this damage - a car-glass-specialist or a convertible-saddler.

And take care of your clothes. it's ugly, when you have it in your pockets. And when you go inside the house, look under your shoes! With these sprinkles in your shoe-profile you will damage the floor.

At least you've got that nice plastic liner to catch all the broken glass... or rain.
I was about to suggest that you just grab some glass from a salvage yard and avoid dealing with the insurance company, but it's not like you could just bolt it in.
Secondarily, 600 convertibles are rare to the point that this one is the first time I've been aware of them. Good luck with the insurance then.
