You can find a decent LSx roller for 3-4K usually, there are a couple in the classifieds now I think.

Really sorry to hear man. My g'f was just involved in a head on collision with an 18 year old girl who hit her head on doing around 70mph in a blind corner. I've been dealing with the insurance companies the past week as it was my vehicle and insurance.

I think I would end up going to jail for murder if the bitch didn't have insurance as I just bought the car and it was in perfect condition. Total loss as it seperated the engine/transmission, on top of flipping it a few times and crushing the front/sides in.

I hope these stupid people get whats coming to them. Your car will come back together. Put it all in a foxbody coupe

Damn man. Sorry to see this happen. I am glad you are okay. I am with the guys above. Find a roller and transfer what you can. It will give you a fresh start to maybe do some things different. Who knows. I hope everything works out for ya.

hey man, i was just looking at your pics and thinking, your front clip is still good, get a v6 93 or 94 roller and put your front clip on it. i know you said you dont do your own mechanic work, but there is only one way to learn and thats to just dive in and do it. you can save yourself alot of money.

i have seen a couple of early 4th gen drivable v6 cars for under 1500 bucks around here. sometimes find them for under 1k. good luck. at least it hit it in the about the best spot that it could have as far as parts go.

Damn . Sorry to hear and see. Good to see you came out of it alright.

I had a kid (new license) put me on my lid in my '01. I pulled all the parts and swapped them onto the '02 and things are all good.

I too vote for picking up a roller and swapping all the parts in. Good luck with everything.

I remember that vid of you dusting that Ford GT several times... sux to see a champ fall.

I'm willing to bet (from my own forced induction experience) that you have some outstanding debt other than the car itself... hopefully you can do a paper shuffle and get another one soon.

Will you do another Camaro or will you try out a Trans Am? GL ~Joshua

DAM DRUNK divers I can't stand them, sorry to hear for your lose but AT LEAST your OK! A car is a car and a person is something that could never be replaced and I'm sure you will find a new car someday and it MIGHT be even better. Devin
