hey dude, if you still have the car, you could make a ton of money parting it out. i understand that you want to keep it and fix it but if the motor still works thats your court fees right there, and all the good parts left on the car could more than cover what you owe you parents. good luck bro.

good luck on the court case too, you should get out of the dui pertty easily, however you wont be without a driving too fast for conditions ticket, and probably a fine for the tree.
hope everything works out for you bro

thanks man, no fine for the tree but paid the insurance claim out of pocket for the culvert. my insurance isnt going up because this wont get claimed on it thanks to their fine line about not covering the wreck. what i'm looking to do is swap the stuff into a rollin chassis and restore the car that way... but thats quite a ways off. must pay my parents back for their help first. but yea i should get a too fast for conditions fine and hopefully get back the remainder of the balance to send to my parents.

I don't know, it's still 1000 miles away down in atlanta. I haven't had an oppertunity to go down there with my dad and trailer it back yet. Still looking around to borrow one or rent one and will go pick it up in July sometime. Without looking at it on a lift I can see that the subframe braced most of the hit but did get tweaked. The tree didn't screw up the rim it just popped the seal on the tire. My insurance isn't covering it because I was misinformed when I purchased my coverage and they won't own up to it. The car is all I have and what I put my time into purchasing and building since I got my license 8 years ago. I've had offers on it but not even close to half of what's invested. It will be sitting in storage for a few years until I can afford to fix it out of pocket.

Some people have also asked why I care about hanging onto it so much... It was a hard find and a numbered car...
In 2000 only 741 Firebirds got the SLP "Firehawk" Package
Only 39 or 5% were Formula T-Tops 26 of those were 6-Speeds, the rest were mostly Trans Ams 92% and 3% were Formula Coupes
Of those 26, 4 were Navy Blue Metallic in Color
3 Others Shared the Same options, such as Floormats, Suspension, Car Cover, Differential, Wheels, Lubes....
The car, Is 1 of 3
