Well friday night I was leaving my girlfriends house and it was still early so I was gonna take the long way around and do a little cruising. Exited 1960 off 45 and headed east on 1960. I get through the first coule lights and this guy in this probe gt is trying to mess with me. Knowing better I gave him no attention, and continued on. I switch lanes to the far left lane and am just minding my own when the the truck in front of me slams on his brakes and came to an abrupt stop. I stopped shy of him and the next thing I know the guy in the probe slammed into the back of me probably going bout 30mph. As a reaction the being hit so hard I got ahoved under the truck in front of me. The truck had no rear bumper so the frame of his truck did work on my front end!!

Damage in pics does not look as bad as in person and lets just say I was pissed to say the least. The hood no longer shuts, cracked in 14 places and is destroyed. The heat exchanger is busted and barly hanging on, radiator is bent along with the main crossmember the holds the radiator in. The front bumper has 1 giant hole and several smaller ones. The rear bumper has a crack across the entire top along with several smaller holes. The deck lid is crack and now to top it off the rearend is making noise too. My check engine light is on also say something bout the fuel system.

Sorry long post but I needed to get that out. I hope it all gets worked out and back up the prestine car it used to be.

Any thoughts or body shops would be appriciated too.:blue:

WOW......why did the guy in the truck stop?

At any rate I hope the probe genius has good insurance. Get that s#$% to a shop ASAP. Sounds like you have some serious problems. Hope it turns out ok.

The fuel problem may be a roll sensor or something....I know its right there in your trunk, unplug the thing with the red button on it and plug it back in and make sure the red button is pressed down. And maybe check your FPDM. All that is in the trunk on the left. Sorry to hear it. Good luck.
