Damn that sux! I almost had a front row seat to the demise of my friends SS. We were sitting in a turn lane first in line and an Impala decided to take the turn wide. Missed the nose of his car by a few inches at best.

I can't imagine the loss of my car, it really sux to hear you have to part yours out... save as much as you can and put it into a new one!

whenever something bad like this, upgrade. I know it wont take the hurt away (still got my 96rs as my avatar that was destroyed by a taxi) but eventually the new love will help heal the wound.
