R.i.p. Lt1 :(

I totaled my car last week. I was coming home from a friend's house after a snow storm and I rear ended a truck doing 60mph. Two cars ahead of me lost control and I had to take the blow. I hit the truck ******* hard. I thought I was going to be seriously hurt. Nope made it out with out a scratch. I bit my lip a little and my back was sore, that was it. GM designed a great air bag system lol. I just primered the Camaro and I am thankful that i didn't shoot color on it yet. I would have been pissed if I wrecked a fresh painted car.

I dunno if i want another LT1 right now. I really need to concentrate on school instead of working on a project car. However, I've grown to love optis. So here are a couple of pics days before the accident.

Good to hear you made it out of a bad wreck in decent shape. I guess you could look at it as a opportunity to go to a different vehicle now if you so desire.

I've done it. As long as people stay in the ruts, or the road is clear (highway), then why not. When I do it, I leave plenty of brake distance, and I never accelerate too quickly.

If this was on a side road and not the highway, then I won't defend the act.
