Default Wrecked the z28...

Only pic i got of it, right after the crash. Cold roads dont help when making turns, luckly i was able to avoid going head on with that fukin telephone pole. Im pretty sure its totaled. Air bags pack a punch lol Had a full car, everyone walked away fine, thank god no one was seriously injured today.

Think its totaled? Im getting more pics of in the morning when i get the nitrous and other crap outa car. Insurance guys are gonna look at sometime this week.

I kinda figured that, the drivetrain is ok though. Nothing was damaged when the tow truck driver lifted it up suspension was good etc.

So (when) the insurance company totals it (i have full coverage) will they pay off the loan or what? Any info would help me at ease. Thanks guys

normally the insurance company will just give NADA value for the car so at that point u will have to come up with the rest of the amount after the fact.....however it may have changed from last i checked.....that really sux that the car got wrecked though....we are all glad u guys are ok.....

plain and simple the bend turned into a nasty right hand turn (never drove on that road that often) and i had to almost cut the wheel and it fishtailed out.

Yeah, im sooooooooooooooooo ******* happy that there was no children out.

Could've been some hospitalization or worse. Atleast y'all walked away.

What's got to happen to buy your wreck back? Is it based on a percentage of the car's value? I'd imagine whatever they'd sell it to the scrapyard for.


Always wondered how that works. I drive mine every day and you never know what'll happen.

I take full blame for this one, i was driving a bit faster then the speed limit 50 in a 40 and misjudged the turn (bend)

my insurance company is gonna look at it sometime this week. its got the same policy coverage as the viper so they will pay for everything that was damaged (guys yard and the pole i guess)
