Almost totaled

[JMD0346]

Hey guys. Havent been around for a few weeks. Wrecked my baby a few weeks ago and havent felt like even looking at hotrods lately. Long story short it left the road with me after i got on it a bit. Hit some trees and did some good body damage. Im against street racing and acting stupid on the street. I didnt do anything out of the ordinary but it had other ideas. I did have bald DR's. What sux is the next morning I came home(stayed at my moms that night)and my new DR's were sitting on the porch. Damnit!

Had it checked by a friend who is a State Farm certified shop and they say its not near as bad as it looks. Its all body damage and not frame damage. Should have my girl back soon I hope.

14,500 in repairs. Car was valued at 21000 by State Farm. So i just did make it as far as not getting totaled.

Glad to hear you're okay. Sometimes these beasts have a mind of their own. Best wishes getting her back on the road soon.

I was having some fun on an entrance ramp earlier and it got all squirrelly in third gear. I was worried for a second but after it whipped side to side It got traction. There wasnt any room around me for a mistake so Im glad I didnt lose control. My 555rs coming in the mail on monday :burn:

LOL Yeah. Its all body and paint work. Also the airbags and windshield. The frame, engine, suspension are undamaged. I guess thats what they meant by" not as bad as it looks". AFter the body is replaced itll have to be repainted fully im sure so that has to be a good deal of the cost. I paid 400 bux to get the bumper repainted once. I cant imagine what the whole car while be. LOL

Main thing is the shop says it will be repaired like it never happened. Im gettin my baby back !!!!!!!! Woohooo!!!


Thats me E-Excited.

[Don Juan]

I would let them total the car, but that just me.

Wrecked my baby a few weeks ago...

BTW... Pics or it didn't happen!

good thing you came out walking! no use in getting injured in a car wreck, especially if its not something EXTREME(!!!) like a 90MPH power slide beside a concrete wall or something.

I would let them total the car, but that just me.

i concur.

I didn't see any mention of rain or snow and in dry conditions, a 450-500rwhp car is going to be safer to drive with DRs vs. street tires. In my old pullied '04 Cobra the car would lose traction from a 3rd gear roll with 295 Kuhmo MXs, which are pretty decent tires. THAT, IMO, is not safe. Now rain and snow? I won't argue that DRs aren't the best for that.

Glad to hear you're okay. I'd consider letting them total the car, but it's clear you're very attached to it.

so your car mysteriously flew off the road? Just try to be extra careful out there. I'd hate to be going to work one day and then get creamed by some car. I know shit happens sometimes, but everyone I know that mysteriously flew off the road, were actually fooling around. These things can be avoided, despite popular belief.

glad your ok

Well he did say he got on it a bit, so we can guess he did some "spirited" driving before losing control, or at least tried to.

Glad you're ok.

Was the ground wet?
