(Pics are a coupple posts down) I was heading home a couple weeks back over an icy bridge. Somehow my rear end came loose; I did a 360 into a cement wall. I'm convinced it was the crap tires they put on from the factory. It ended up being 14k in damage. Insurance is covering of course. I did not have my seat belt on and went between the two front air bags. My head hit the rearview mirror hard enough to smash the front window down to the hood. For anyone who does not wear a seat belt in the CL...put it on. Trust me.

 

Sucks dude! Glad your ok!

Taken with a camera phone...

 

wow that sucks man. next time wear your seatbelt

 

From now on!!

 

Damn even with the airbags going off it wasn't considered totaled? Doesn't look that bad but i would think w/ $14k worth of damage it would be done for.

Glad to here your ok. Next time BUCKLE UP!

 

Ins. Co said it's worth 25k. It has to be 70% damaged...

 

That, my friend is Glad to see your OK.

 

Can you get a 2nd estimate?

Any major drivetrain or suspension damage?

Glad to see you are OK.

 

Cars can be replaced/repaired, lives can't.........seatbelts are your friend.

Looks pretty bad man. You are one lucky SOB.

 

I just talked to the guy at the body shop again. He said there is no suspension damage. He's a pretty good guy to work with, and tried to get me the highest amount. He's even replacing the pass side headlight assembly because it's got a tiny scratch. I'll tell ya one thing... I will appreciate my car so much more when I get it back. They are talking 6 weeks for repair. Now I have some junker 95 Grand Prix...that's another story.

 

Glad u're ok man, thats the main thing.

 

Just be sure to buckle up in this one!

BTW are those NY plates on your car?

 

Glad you are ok.


So can we now say that FWD cars suck in snow?

:o

 

damn..... well glad your ok..

 

sucks man wat a nice car

 

Glad you're safe I don't even start the car til my belt is on, it's a good habit i've had for years. I wouldn't blame the tires, ice is bad news and unless you've got studs or chains you never know.

 

glad u r alright!!

 

Minnesota plates....

Yep what can I say, I need to move to a warm state. Naw...then I would not be able to ride my sled.

Thanks for the good words. Catch you guys in about 6 weeks when she's up and running again.
