I was @ work and the storm came on out of nowhere hard downpour rain and wind for 20 min and rained little for couple hours after then was sunny so on my way home I came home to see a big thick branch prob about 50lbs or so on back part of my trunk and I moved it and saw most of it fell between my 2 cars in the driveway didnt think anything of it then saw my car cover ripped and trunk had wood shavings on it so I moved the car cover and saw trunk had shit all over it few scratches and spoiler is broken, so glad I have a car cover and most of it missed my car the spoiler and car cover saved the car so I cant get to mad still sucks though heres pics above.

Wow, so sorry to hear about the damage. We had a bit of wind here in Cheshire, but nothing to really speak. Other areas of the state got more wind. As someone said, you were fortunately it didn't do damage to your roof.

Anyone have any experience with which insurance company should be notified if something like this happens to them?

Do you call your home insurance or your car insurance? Or both?

A neighbor that lives in an apartment had her six month old Lexus totally destroyed bu a tree falling on her car. The branch weighed at least 40,000 pounds. It was 28 inches thick and thirty feet long.

Since the tree was on a parkway and was the property of the city all three insurance companies just kept pointing to the next guy. She finally got paid off by her car insurance company and then that insurance company sued the city. The apartment house insurance company got off scott free.

03-04 Cobras have decklids not wings. Yours is a wing. One that doesn't match the color of the car anyways. A sign to take it off.

Last time I checked I own the car its personal taste, I like the black saleen spoiler, and not worth spending the money to paint it laser red paint is $, saleen spoilers are best looking spoilers on sn95 94-98 cars
