The TA is totalled While going to work today I sneezed while turning a corner.
I sneezed again & my foot jammed the gas, not the brake.
Next thing I know I saw a cement wall &... well the pictures in the link below speak for themselves as to what transpired next.
I am OK, quite shook up, but OK.
I have a sprained left foot, can't walk on it, very bruised left arm & am still shocked I was in an accident, my 1st in 30 years of driving.
It shows you how quick & fast that 400 HP can send you in such a short amount of time.
And this year is the 1st year I started wearing my seat belt.
I am not used to wearing it & after I crashed I was panicking that I could not get out of the car & thought I was trapped.
Then I quickly came to my senses & unclicked the seat belt & climbed out the passenger door.
Looks like the seat belt worked eh?

Did you pass out from the sneeze?
I don't see how you could catch enough speed while taking a corner to do that much damage.
Atleast your alright.

Damn Butch, thats sucks, that was a beautiful WS6. I'm just glad to see you're ok, cars can be replaced, people can't. Any ideas what you're gonna replace it with?

Wow... That really sucks, good thing you made it out ok. Probally one of the worst F-Body crashes Ive seen so far (I browse crash auctions for no reason) considering how far back everything has moved.

Those pics make me want to cry man. Glad you are ok. Your car was definately gorgeous.
You nailed that wall pretty darn good, thats crazy. I bet from now on you will always make sure that seatbelt is on.
Again real sorry for your loss. I can't imagine how you must feel. I got in fender bender once, I dunno what I would do if she got totalled though.
