Default Overseas Camaro owner worst nightmare!!!

This past Sunday I got into a car accident I hit a concrete light pole. I was not speeding maybe going 30-35 mph going up hill on a turn down shifted *** end kicked out then car hit pole. Seemed like it all happened in 5 seconds.

Heres some pics of the damage. So far im waiting on the adjusters estimate then I can get the parts shipped over. I have a complete front clip standing by. I have no idea how long its gonna take to get here but once it does im looking at 3-4 weeks for completion.

The body shop guy is gonna strip the entire car down repair the front end with the new front clip then repaint the entire car. SOM crossed my mind but I will paint it stock Red. Since the car was red from factory. He told me it will be a show car once he is finished. Thats better then any shop would do in the states. Kinda crazy if you ask me but I think it will look good once complete. Insurance lady said that he is one of the best on the island. Ok heres the pics

Yeah I know! I was just happy to be alive! My only brother died in a WS6 3 yrs and 4 days prior to my accident. Cars can be fixed/replaced a life cannot. plus I am a clown at times. Im working w/ the insurance right now on getting the car fixed so hopefully the front end will be able to get shipped off next week. Sucky thing is that I am going to be here until May so I am on a time table. --Ryan
