Ahh man Silkey what the heck happened? That is so sad, I was really looking foward to seeing and hepling work on the car. Are they gonna let you take any salvageable parts from it or what? I am glad that you are ok though. God is looking out for you man.

well.. yeah... ok i guess. pretty banged up. but alright. so here's what happened. i was coming around a corner on route 12 over by mohegan sun. there's was an a$$hole semi parked in the middle of the highway. so i hit the brakes as soon as i seen him. unfortunately, it was going downhill, my front tires were completely bald, my tires locked up because apparently the ABS didnt work, and i maaaaaay have been going a little too fast. :-p so i smashed into the truck and completely totalled the car after having it for 3 weeks. :-(
soooo... they're supposed to make the decision on monday what's going to happen with it. there is no doubt in my mind that it is gonna get totalled. once it is, i am hoping they will sell it back to me for cheap. im not sure how that works, so im hoping they are good about it. the engine that i had in it was a monster, and i need it back really bad. not including the rest of the parts i could get off of the car.... lets all be hoping and praying they will give it back to me for cheap. if they do..... then we'll be building a monster evo from ground up this winter and spring... :-)

somebody told me that they would just take it out of the money that they give me from the insurance to pay the car off. which should be ok because they should give me a lot more for the car than what i have a loan out for.
DAMN! Glad your ok man, but that car is certainly totaled. Buying it back to get your parts out of it i understand, but do you really want to trying and bring that frame back to life? I would think its going to require a lot of work and money to get it semi straight and even then you may still run into problems further down the road.
Either way if you end up parting out I call dibs on the FMIC if its undamaged (seems ok from pics oddly enough, drivers side took most of the impact?)
Good luck and glad your ok....looks like it was a hard hit.

it was a very hard hit! lol. it wasnt fun by any means.... you'd be surprised how many of the parts were unharmed. i dont plan on rebuilding THIS car, im hoping to be able to take the engine out of it and find a new chassis for it. all dependant on when the insurance ppl get at me and let me know how much they are gonna give me, and if they'll let me buy it back.
thanks for the replies guys. i appreciate it.
oh, and there will be lots of parts getting parted out regardless of what happens. :-)

although there was an "almost incident" that was luckly fixed during stop at picture place. Glad to see so many come out. I am down for a "snow run" but only a few of us are going to come out on that run,I can almost promise that. See you all next year,and some sooner?
