Default And we walked away,well sort of!
Here is what is left of my 98 z28. Got hit in passenger side by a Ford Explorer. My father-in-law and I are both alive but a little worse for the wear. Going to miss my car I loved it like part of the family but at least my family is still here.



Before the wreck

I'm glad to hear ya'll are alive. It reminds me of my accident that I had with a dump truck carrying a full load of broken concrete. If you don't mind me asking, how much did the insurance give you for your car?

Yeah man, I love my car to death too, but to see that picture and know that you guys got out okay, that's by far the most important part.

I see stuff like this and I'm convinced that 4th gen F-bodies are some of the safest cars possibile for passengers during any type of accident. It's amazing really, the sort of crashes that people walk away from with these cars.

You are a lucky, lucky man.
