As if my luck couldn't even!

[4bangen]

I had a brand new Z/28 in 2000. About 2 weeks after I got it. I got taped from behind and sent me over a storm drain. Ripped the crossmember right out all the front control arms tie rods and destroyed. And I had the same odd jobs ripped the crossmember right out, all the front control arms tie rods got destroyed. Had odd gaps everywhere. Insurance said they can fix it. Spent damn near one month at town East Ford body shop. When I picked it up there were still some fucked up gaps. And sure enough as I’m driving home the person behind me is telling me that it’s going dog tract. They wouldn’t fix it correctly and they wouldn’t give me a new car ether. I refused to pay A monthly payment for the next five years on the car that I can’t even drive. So just let that bitch go back. Fucked up my credit for seven years.

So the moral of the story is these kind of cars once they take a good hit. It’s over.

mine still drives fine, shit behind the wheels is fucked.

I work in wholesale collision parts, I'm guessing around $11k tops if they use all OE parts. The shops I sell to say on a newer mustang the insurance companies will normally go up to 70% of the value of the car before totaling it.
I have gap insurance, and am not emotionally attached to this one. So if they total it I'm fine with that. If they fix it, they better do it fucking right!
If I end up needing a new car, I'm not sure if I want to go with another mustang or a Tesla 3...

I was trying not to be too Grim, but yeah I’m welling to bet it gets totaled out.

Sorry to hear it man. I've been there for sure.

In my experience, what you should do is take a picture of the damage with you in it, then everyone will make fun of your hair and call you KD Lang for over a dozen years. So basically what I'm saying is that it all worked out.

Hahahahahahaha!

Hah, I wish I could find it but I think it's probably lost to the ether. I just dug through my old photobucket account and couldn't find it. Shit is funny though.

Damnit! I hate losing things to the ether.

I bet one of these old coots can find it somewhere.

Pics?

You didn't look at the pictures, his rear body panel is bent to fuck.
That car might total, there is north of $7k in damages very easy.

I got dibs on the wheels!

No doubt it's better, although the wildlife is no joke. We've been really lucky so far with several extremely close calls.

One of my closer friends when I was a kid blasted into an elk at 75mph. Absolutely destroyed his F-250.

PT.... I didn’t do any after my knee surgery and am paying for it now at the gym 4 years later. Thank goodness my trainer started as a PT.

[black2002ls]

Well looks like it's a herniated disk in my neck and some nerve damage. Got some shots for pain and need to get setup for an MRI. Physical therapy coming soon. I need to finish my vehicle claim tonight so I can get my car fixed.
It's kinda strange, since the wreck, I've been kinda down, I don't feel like doing anything, and I want to sleep more. Hope I can pull out of this funk.

That sucks man, the important thing with back injuries, once they get you all squared away, is to stay active. Whether it is daily physical activity that utilizes that region of your spine, or the focused PT exercises they give you.

Hopefully the insurance takes care of you.
