Default Hit And Run!!!!!

On friday night I am driving home at around 2:30 and then smash a truck plows into me then pushes me out of the way and drives off. Thank god my friend travis got the plate number. So we call the cops and half an hour later they show up. They caught him that morning and took him to jail.

The body shop says it is a total loss so I will be parting it out soon. I had some mods:
Free mods done, K&N FIPK kit, McLeod Twin Disk LS1 Clutch, Hypertech 160 degree thermostat, Taylor LS1 10mm Thunder volt Sparkplug wires, NGK TR55 sparkplugs, ASP LS1 F-Body under drive pulley, RMS Ported Throttle Body, Borla, Jet hot headers, Jet hot y-pipe, Pro 5.0 shifter, BMR pan hard rod, BMR Tubular lower control arms, BMR LCA relocation brackets (bolt in),BMR strut tower brace, Air Lift's Drag Bags, Energy Suspension Transmission Mount, Kenny Brown Double Diamond Sub Frame connectors welded in, H&R Lowering Springs, SLP Bowtie Grille,Clear Turn Signals,Entire interior has been covered with Dynamat Super, Classic Soft Trim Graphite Italian Leather, Chrome Camaro rear fascia inserts, Lazer cut SS emblems, Chrome 10 Spoke Camaro SS Wheels, 17x9,Nitto 315/35/17 Drag Radial

Here are some pics

I know how you feel. https://ls1tech.com/forums/appearance-detailing/193908-i-hate-fucking-country.html

I was able to chase down the POS that tried to run but the ***** *** cops wouldn't take him to jail!

Just be glad that you and your passengers are ok. Cars are replacable...people aren't. With the damage you have you're better off with it being a total loss, they would more than likely back half the car and it would never be the same , I know I wouldn't feel comfortable drivng a car that was cut in half at highway speeds.

There are still plenty of excellent condition used F-bodies out there. Good luck!

I say keep your parts and buy another F-body! Keep your intial investment because you won't get as much money for your parts as you paid for them. Just my .02

dude that sucks! your doesn't look that bad...just the rear bumper, the center part, maybe the spoiler...but if it gets you a new car with less miles then all is well. you should save these parts incase you get a new car, but i guess you thought this through...so i'll trade you some money for those clear corners. how much you want shipped to 60062? pm me for details. sorry to hear about your loss.

Between you and Richie Carbone I am gonna be sick. I think I will carpool with my friends for the next few days. I agree with 02blackZ, just get another f-bod if thats what you really want and swap the parts.

Stupid drivers

Damage doesn't look all that bad from the exterior. I guess a hit like that could have mangled the frame though. Just glad you are ok.

I agree with 02BlackZ. Keep the parts, get another one, and start over.

If you are parting this out as you say, I would like to seriously otalk to you about the shifter, the grill, and the headers. Letme know.

Sorry that it happened, people suck out there, I've run in to a few myself, even had to stop a rape in progress. I'm glad you are alright though.
