Default damn drunk drivers

i hate drunk drivers, i was taking a nice ride one of the very few that i do because i dont want to get dirt on it nevermind miles when i get ready to go on the highway and a drunk drive swerves on the highway jumps the curb and t-bones me doing 70+ the car ripes apart and sends me over a guard rail and into an overpass wall i know a few people here know about it but the car was an 02 collectors with 2100 miles on it and i had spent countless hours making it a show winner all the orange peel was buffed out and every inch was polished and spotless,also the qmp kit was on its way very soon and because some ******* decides to drive drunk and fall asleep at the wheel i almost get killed and the car does not even resemble a firebird anymore.dont know why i posted this just to let everyone know i guess,and if anyone knows if there is another low milage collectors for sale or prefrebly an 02 sunset orange for sale if you could contact me i would greatly appreciate it

Bummer I hate drunk drivers.It would be nice if they could just crash into each other and kill themselves.You will find another car.It's good the drunk just took your car out instead of you.

If it helps any there is a BRAND NEW 02 C/E T/A at the dealer here in town. It is a fully loaded T-top car. If you are interested I could call them up for you and get more info on the car.

I'm sure there are still quite a few C/Es brand new sitting on dealer lots. There may be one or two here in the Jacksonville area.
Sorry to hear about that, but at least you are ok. Make sure to present receipts for everything, and see if Edmund's lists the C/E separately, like they do the 30th. The insurance company will try to screw you otherwise!

Tell them $22,000 is WAY to low. I got $26,000 for my 01 T/A with 10k on it. They also cut me a check for an additional $1,000 for my tag/tittle/tax. Hell that was the first offer they made me. That shows how much they are trying to ream you. If they hassle you I would get in touch with a lawyer.

Good luck,
Jason

What Insurance Co. do you have?
I got screwed on my 2000SS Convert in July (DRUNK DRIVER NO INSURANCE) State Farm said 20K at first, then they sent out a third party (after I bitched ) to value my ride and came back with 22K, took 5 weeks in all
Sorry to hear about the loss! Drunk Drivers SUCK!
