I got to tell you guys, this year sucks...
I finally thought everything would be ok, I was going racing this weekend and gonna bust some awesome times... I hating seeing myself slip to 20th on the boosted list... But a drunk red neck painter had different plans, hit me head on, not an 1/8th mile from my house. I was stopped at a four way stop intersection. He lost control of his vehicle and hit me head on at about 40 MPH. It drove my car back into a BMW about 25 feet, i had my foot on the brake the whole time(brembos)
Had it towed to the house here are some pics

Does this mean i get kicked off the boosted list? <img border="0" title="" alt="[Confused]" src="images/icons/confused.gif" />

 

Damn dude!
Sorry to hear.
Sucks.

Should have happened to a cheese-eating, surrendering monkey instead. Damn French ****.

 

Ouch, sorry to hear about that, makes me sad to look at an F-body like that....

Had a nice little setup under the hood there.. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" />

 

it "was" a one off 8 ribb procharger setup, up on top ... not sure what will be salvagable...
****, Allstate may own the car soon... ONE DAMN PAYMENT LEFT!!!! ARRRRGGG <img border="0" alt="[bang head]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_banghead.gif" />

 

I think I may cry! I recall meeting you and checking out your car thouroughly (pre boosted) at the GMHTP Muscle on the Mountain in Oct 2000. Sweet ride! <img border="0" title="" alt="[Frown]" src="gr_sad.gif" /> At least you have Allstate, they'll take of you. Do you think any of it will removeable/salvageable? What's next? Time for a Z06? <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" />

 

ISPEEDWS6, that sucks BIG TIME! <img border="0" title="" alt="[Frown]" src="gr_sad.gif" />

Once you are on the FI list, you will always be an FI inductee. <img border="0" alt="[cheers]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_cheers.gif" /> But, if it is not running or the FI is removed, it cannot rank current.

I've put you on the "Not Ranked" list. But, if you think it can be fixed, I'll move you to benched until it's back up.

I know it must hurt to lose your car like that. <img border="0" alt="[cry]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_cry.gif" />

 

Dang that sucks, sorry to hear. Was every one ok?

Reminds me on how someone slammed cablebandit car into a wall on the intersate, totalling his car.

 

Oh man, I am REALLY sorry to hear that <img border="0" title="" alt="[Frown]" src="gr_sad.gif" /> I can't tell you how many nightmares I've had about that happening to me and I haven't even done any work on my car yet! I hope you're able to salvage some of your investment.

 

I have to be honest, i looked at the car more in the day light today...I don't think i want it fixed, will never be the same, and i'll have bad karma in the car...
Everything from the windshield back is ok best i can tell, the nose is history, both frame rails, my secondary fuel system was crush into the electrical center and then so on back...
I see alot of $$$ in damages...
The charger was pushed back into the cylinder head the custom ASP/ATI pulley damper is destroyed...the water pump is part of the front engine cover now...it's just disgusting...all that time all that money all that blood and sweat... <img border="0" title="" alt="[Mad]" src="gr_images/icons/mad.gif" />
I'm gonna get a lawyer, and the drunk guy supposedly has insurance and it was in a work vehicle, so i'll let the lawyer go after them and handle it, I have ZL1's to build, i didn't need this to happen. <img border="0" alt="[bang head]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_banghead.gif" />
I understand not being ranked current now, not sure if i'll go thru all that work again...
I may write the car off, and move on...
<img border="0" title="" alt="[Frown]" src="gr_sad.gif" />
I made some calls this morning to try to find a worthy replacement... we'll see, GM can't get me my GTO until june, my ride 'til then is my big block 79 TA, not even an LS1. I was thinking today, I'm glad it was my car... and not a customers car i was in... how do you explain that..."umm sir, your ZL1 was totaled last night." <img border="0" title="" alt="[Eek!]" src="gr_eek2.gif" />

IF i part the car out I'll let you guys know...
Thanks for all the kind words and votes of sympathy, while it's just a car, it still hurts...

 

I am down in Marietta this week and happened to be at the shop when the car was flatbedded in.Not a pretty site.My Condolenses,Tony

Sorry to hear about it this again, first on GAFBA, then here. It is such a shame to see someone's hard work ruined in such short order. It is good to hear that you were not hurt in any way. Now get on those ZL1s <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" />

Oh yeah, if the time comes, and you part her out, there are a few parts I need, and I'm local.

 

I hate seeing stuff like that - all that work....

You're okay, so that's cool. But it still must irritate the **** out of you!

Why not be one of the first to have a mage-bad-*** GTO? Not like you weren't already, I'm sure, but I'm sure you would have the resources to hhok it killer! Again, sorry to see it happen, but maybe for a reason? Just trying to keep on the bright side. Can't wait to the big ci, blown GTO! <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" />

dude! damn, that really sucks!! my condolences to you. making me shed a tear just seeing that. <img border="0" alt="[cry]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_cry.gif" /> it may work out in your favor though. ride a bike for a couple of months and get one of the new SS's or the GTO!! <img border="0" alt="[driving]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_driving3.gif" />

 

I have checked into it and the soonest they say i can have a GTO is June, more like July and with my luck August...
Anyways, I might get another pontiac, formula or TA, i need to see what the insurance people say.
Wait 'til they see the bill for the mods done to that car...and it's all crushed. <img border="0" alt="[evil]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_devil.gif" />
It'll get straightened out...
Besides this show season i planned on playing with my ZL1. <img border="0" alt="[driving]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_driving3.gif" />

 

Too bad the lawyer can't get a court to order him to pay for ALL you have invested in the car!

 

So what`s up with the car and the whole situation?
