Sorry to hear. Glad you are ok. It's very unfortunate this happened. Reason why I stopped riding bikes. Always worried about being rear ended like this. I've been rear ended three times. The soft tissue injury never heals. Always get neck pains front the slightest thing. This always leads to headaches. I basically live off Advil. Car can be replaced and the main thing is you are ok. There isn't a thing you can do but wait for the hit. When I'm in my cobra I avoid rush hour. Avoid the cruise areas where it's bumbler to bumper traffic as much as possible. Paranoid of this happening to my cobra. Far too many don't get the distracted driving law. Some have to learn the hard way. Hope her insurance doubles.

That is disgusting....glad you are ok.
When are they going to clamp down on the cell phones? Non stop public awareness ads and penalties on drunk driving, and rightfully so....but little on texting. The manufacturer by law should disable texting function as soon as the cell phone is in motion over say 5mph.....ya, I know....who's to say if you are the driver or a passenger...but regardless, they must do something. I see this crap every day and many times an innocent dies or is severely injured. Penalties need to be maximized.

Wow that sucks. Hurts my stomach just looking at these pics and realizing how easily your car could be gone.
oh God dont say that! I'm picking up a bike next month ideally ahhahaha
For starters, that sucks a huge one man, I'll burn some rubber for you
.
Secondly this just happened to me, so before you jump the gun and say you want to buy it back and part it out...find out the salvage value. I had progressive and they valued my 113k mile Silver Metallic 03 car at 22.6k. the salvage value was $9700. If i did a buy back, they were going to take that value out of the total loss payout, and give me the rest. Now I had some left over financing so some cash also had to goto that. My part out value was around 6k so it would have been a loss. I also had some one-off parts on my car but in the end it just made more sense to let them give me a cash value instead of taking a huge salvage value deduction and selling it for less, which includes the hassle of parting it out.

I had an agreed value policy through Grundy worldwide on it so I'm going to be okay there. They valued it at $9k for buy back so I think I'm going to go ahead and do it. Should be able to get close to that for a 19k mile motor, harnesses, and trans I would think. Then the rest is extra. Every piece of the interior is custom. The plastic was even covered in leather with orange stitching.For starters, that sucks a huge one man, I'll burn some rubber for you

Glad you walked out of it. But that is saddening to see...
Common folks don't have a clue what these cars mean to us.

Most important thing is that your OK. As you know cars can be replaced. (Although this car in CO is not easy to do)
Look on the positive side.....There will always be the next thing. A 13/14 GT500 sounds enticing.

and fwiw this car cannot be replaced, if you havent seen it you truly cannot comprehend all of the custom touches.
HOWEVER
I'd rather have a 13-14 GT500 over any cobra! hahahaha go for it OP!
Ouch. Sorry for the loss brother
Very true. I'm looking at the built and cammed black 04 Cobra in the market right now though... It would look amazing with this hood and rims... Just waiting on the guy to give me a call.
