Unhappy Wrecked my baby

Got cut off on the interstate this past friday morning. Car shot under a guardrail and slid for about 100ft. The guardrail was about 6in. from my face when I woke up. I'm very lucky to be alive right now thanks to the t-tops. My head went right through them.

Glad your okay.
Cars can be replaced, but people can't.
Someone was watching over you.

Thanks guys. I was wearing my seatbelt, thank god. Or I would be dead right now. Yeah that toyota is in a slight rebuild. A 355/th-350/np205 t-case. I actually went and looked at a y2k vette tonight, it's either that, another camaro or an 03 cobra. Not sure yet. I can get the vette for around $20,000 and the cobra is right about the same. The camaro is just under $10,000 for a 99. Most of the stuff on the car is trashed. The FLP headers and magnaflow catback are done. Only had that on for a couple thousand miles. The motor is still good and the D&D t-56 is still good. Might already have the whole car sold. A guy with an older vette wants the whole drivetrain to do a swap.

So speaking of a new car I might need some help making a decision on which one to get. It's pretty much going to be a track only car. The vette is obviously sexy, and has around 61,000 on the clock. The cobra is cheaper to make fast I am pretty sure, and a buddy of mine happens to own one of the fastest in the country, if not the fastest. (he won't tell us yet, wait till the april fast ford and muscle mustangs) so he's got a good recipe to get me started with. And the camaro is going to save me a little at first but money goes quik when building one of these as you all know.

Thanks again for everyones concern and help with my upcoming dilema. LOL
Later,
Nick
