Again??? Obviously Victory Red and HID's are not easy to see. 45 mph zone, decelling then hard brakes to impact. Airbag deployment. Nice thing is that I drove away, bruise to my collar bone and some stomach pain.
That's TWICE this car has taken a hit and drove away - was going to get a Regal Turbo but now am going to stick with this car until it stops running.
And you NASCAR fans might appreciate this:
Have a contest to see who can be the closest to how much damage $$$ - also trashed the front seat belt pre-tensioners.

Yeah - twice it was the fault of others, this car can't catch a break.
Thanks - a $6.99 Ace Hardware investment to hold the nose from dragging / blowing off the car - almost all of the attachment points were broke off.

Strange how selective the air bags are at deployment. I had no deployment and $7k repair. Take a gander at mine. 3rd time for me, just don't care anymore as long as no one is hurt. 2 times caused by careless drivers, 1 deer.
See my avatar. Yes its mine, rear ended by someone in a gmc truck, I think it scratched his bumper (insert profanity here)
BTW, this was no drive away, it bled dex.

I read up on deployments, and a glancing blow will not trigger. Mine was a square T-bone, but the thought is the sensor was wrecked.
When mine was rear ended I ended up on the hood of the truck.

Yeah, we are all Ok. Now my wife wants a Monte as here next car. In a month we will have one.
Your car came out nice! Nice color! I looked at it this way when I crashed the GXP... The rock chips dissapeared so it did have its benefits. lol.. I had $2300.00 in damage to the front end.

Great news! You guys getting a SS or the V6? I think you can get the fogs and SS style spoiler on the V6 version.
Thanks - yes it looks new again - staying way behind semis on the highway today.

We are probably going with a V-6 one unless we can find a great deal on a newer SS V-8 version. The good news is we are going to pay cash so no note will be taken out on this one. I refuse to feed the banks any longer. Hopefully this time next year I'll have an older Vette too. I am crossing my fingers.
It's hard keeping any car free of chips in these 20 snow storms we had. lol... I am hoping for a very early spring.
