Default R.I.P 2000 Camaro

I am deeply sadden that my SS is Finally laid to rest this week from a late Nov. accident. The bruises and the physical pain I had during the acciddent does not compare to what my SS had gone through. She only had 52K miles. Becuase of this I will ressurect her with either the eager countdown of the new Camaro, but also, I was looking into the 2009 415 Hp rated GXP G8. Here are the pics of my former.

This accident happened at Tracy, CA highway 205/ 580. I was going 70 mph, I was changing from mid lane to 1st lane. Suddenly, I heard a blow and a matter of seconds my steering was wiggling violently and all I remember I was making 180 degree turns left and right hitting the highway sound wall a coulple or few times, but when my air bags deployed, I was still in motion. Witness say that I was almost doing 360 turns. Thank goodness for the walls other wise a couple miles more, I would end up down hill plus no one else was envolved.

They were speculating my tire was under pressure, but I religiosly do check my tire pressures and threads, but based on the road condition, CHP stated that it may because the area was a road work/ construction area with alot of loose gravel.

There do seem to be alot of "I crashed my car" threads lately. Luckily they don't seem to be deterring anybody from keeping in the ls business. Even if my car was totalled when I crashed it two years ago I still would have bought it back.
