Another Terminator Loss

[Cobreezy]

Like the title says, another Terminator loss. I was driving about 45 mph and the road was wet. Came around a bend in the road and as soon as I come out of the bend, I start hydroplaning. My ass ended up whipping around and that's when I lost control and ended up hitting a tree almost head on. Air bags deployed and I ended up with a sore neck and knees. My car on the other hand didn't make it out so well. I'll let the photos do the talking.

She was a fun car and I will truly miss her. If the price is right, I might buy her back and part her out.

Too bad man, it hurts the car guy in me to see that, but the real man in me is glad to hear you and anyone else involved is okay for the most part. We love our cars but they are replaceable ( more or less ) but people, not so much! :thumbsup:

On a side note, interesting to see how well the Mustang protected the driver in a driver side off center front end collision. I've always heard those are the most dangerous according to the NTSB. Did your car have sub-frame connectors?

Edit, saw in your sig the car had FL-SFCs. Curious how that changes crash impact.

well that really sucks
long as your ok, all is good
regardless of what tire is in rear these cars are loose as hell out back
get another, they are cheap

Ive been in those shoes bro. Glad your ok, you gonna get another?

 

[GTIZZL]

Sorry to hear.. Glad your ok man!

 

[mrose75]

Damn............. I'm glad you're OK, but that just pains me to see. She looked like a beaut. Sorry, hopefully you can get her back, part her oout and get back into the saddle with another Terminator or GT500. best of luck.

Sorry to hear that. If they total it, can you buy it back and part it out?

 

[cbr repsol]

Damn really sucks to hear this. If u do get it back i need the passenger side license plate plastic housing, mine cracked. p.m. me if u do.

 

[BigBeez03]

Damn bro your lucky, glad you're ok. Sorry to see your ride banged up. If you didn't buy it back and part it out do you think all those choice parts in your sig would just go to the junkyard? What happens to a car like yours if the insurance keeps her?

 

[99 BIG RED]

Wow, that looks bad... I'm glad your ok. I've done the same in my old GT and I was able to fix it, but they are never the same so I sold it.

 

[Marc]

Someone will be asking for your hood vents soon! Stay tuned...

Lol shit I didn't want to say anything ,but ill purchase the whole car. Lol

 

[DICobra]

Sorry to hear that... Glad your your OK...

 

[Bdubbs]

Truly sucks, if the price is right you should buy it back. Heck I've seen just the seats alone go for good money.

 

[Jimmysidecarr]

Ouch! Sorry to hear about that!
Glad you are ok.

Did the rear tires have about the same tread as that left front tire in the pic?

If so it was probably not the car's or your fault so much as not enough water pumping from a tire that was just too worn for rain use.

Tread depth is a very big deal in the rain, and when it bites back, it is devastating.

I am so sorry for your loss.

 

[03 Indy Cobra]

Glad you are ok. It was hard to look at those pictures. I hope you will be back in a terminator soon.

 

[03 DSG Snake]

Glad you're ok. You'll probably be sore for a few days.

 

[Emwun Garand]

The good thing is you're alive and well. Vehicles can be replaced.

If you do buy and part out the car, I got dibs on the MAC Catback. $$ ready to go.

 

[Root1022]

That sucks man, wanna sell your hood inserts cheap? lol. What tires did you have on when you hydroplaned? DR? Only thing that matters is your ok man!

 

[thecrimson]

TERMINATED....lol... sorry I had to. Sorry for your loss bro, but like many have said, it could've been alot worse. I know someone who died last year when the car hit a pole in similar circumstances and caught fire.
