sucks too... she barely got her license a month ago.

edit: my gf told me that she heard the lady say to another lady that she could've hit the brakes and prevented the accident but chose not to.

she didnt tell the cop that either.

I'm really sorry about what happened and hope that your girlfriend is fine but I'm confused. The way I'm interpreting it is this woman in the Suburban could have hit her brakes but decided not to. Why on earth would you choose to not stop an accident?

Yeah I dont understand that either....I dont see how someone can just plow into the rear of someone, when they had time to react.

It's called PMS, a hormonal imbalance, and/or not the right amount of Prozac/Zoloft/Paxil/Celexa.

I'll go out on a limb and guess the woman driving the Suburban was between 40-55.

I'm a proud M6 owner, but if you are wanting to build an all out drag car, you can't beat an automatic. I got the M6 because I still get 25 mpg on the highway, something you can't do in an automatic car with a stall and a motor similar to mine. And I do like slamming gears as well...

That sucks man, but regardless if the accident could have been prevented, if you fail to yeild, its your fault. In this case, her fault.

Hey man , its a female I mean a female thing. The bitch was probably talking on her friggin cell phone. The only thing worse & more dangerous than a WOMAN driving a suburban is one driving a eighteen wheeler. Sorry to her of your girls misfortune man , thats a real downer.Get a good lawyer and sue the panties off the bitch, then go get her a newer Z-28 & have money to mod.

Just a side note, but presenting the buyer with 60 $100s would be hard to say no to. Money in hand is a hell of a negotiator.


Im with BigDaddyBry 100% I'd check it out before it purchased, if its solid as believed then the seller won't care one bit. And too the $20 bill thing is a good idea as well...As far as the M6 Vs. A4, Ehh who cares, its your girls car right? I know how ya feel about a manual, thats why i searched and searched for mine, but for a girl im sure she'll like havin an auto...

she had an 05 SS impala with the LS4, a scion, and an 01 impala V6. she wanted the camaro badly.

yea shes traumatized right now too. scared to drive it and all.

the car wasnt on insurance yet. only had been 2 hrs since she bought it.

Uhh Hmmmm smothing(s) doesn't add up here. Okay you said a few times that she was scared of the car this that and the other about it being fast right? (sounds like it was pushed on her, BUT i'd be guilty of the samething if my GF was looking for a new car too) Now you ALSO said she has had quite a few cars in her past. Well hmmmm lets seet here Impala, Scion and another Impala..thats 3 cars, one was an '05, WTF happend to THOSE cars?? Did they get totaled too?? And you also said that (and i quote)

???

Now etheir shes...

A) runnin a demolition derby down on main street with her cars or

B) ...my friend she just ain't the shapest knife in the drawer

C) What you ment to say was "she just got her license BACK a month ago" (i.e. again reverting back to option A...or B....or D OR she really has a really sh*tty drving record to begin with...)

D) All the above

I am very sorry about what happend. I do hope she is okay, and i mean it!!Not tryin to pis anyone off, but this whole story sounds like theres somethings were left out...and here come the flames

Yeah cause autos are for girls.



Someone should have told that to these guys when they built an auto that went 6.86 @ 205 in the quarter mile
