Ouch well sounds like it totalled then.
Who spilled the paint and why wasnt it cleaned up properly by the spiller? Lawsuit ?
Your back hurts right and your hip is sore right? If I had someone to sue I would have but it was my fault all the way. Cant sue for black ice and to much speed but PAINT on the road is a whole other story.
Well good luck with things, it sucks plain and simple.

BTW, Mark... If you end up parting out what's left of the car, I would be interested in your taillights & center filler panel.

Someone told me about some paint that was spilled on I 405 (Ellis?) a few years back. They didn't clean that up either....until it rained & there was a nasty wreck. Then the DOT came out & ground that section of highway up.
And if this turns out the way I think / hope it will Zeke, I will buy it back & take the parts off I need & sell the rest. We are leaning towards a custom Camaro project at the moment, but it all depends on the settlement. If we go that way, I'll keep the drivetrain & interior.
One of the local vultures already asked about the hood.
The pass door, front end, and hatch are also in perfect shape. Not to mention what is on the car I buy. And there may be some performance items that I want to change / upgrade that could be available. I'm sure I'll post as soon as I know.

I just heard there is an 8k incentive on remaining 2007 C6s. It seems everyone is wanting a 2008 now that they are out and the 2007s are sitting on the lots.

Now that you have the open road fever, this is a perfect time to step-up to a built open road car. Could be a fairly fast drag car with a little work.

Seems like way to much of that is going on. Just glade that you made it out like I did with mine, in one piece. I hope I can lend a hand a couple of times holding the flash light while you rebuild it, or another one. I'd love to see how a real car get built up.

The body shop & the ins adjuster agreed that it's totaled. Now I'm waiting for the offer from the ins comp.....I want my car & enough $ to build a new one. I can imagine it will take them a few days to figure out a salvage value for my car.
I can see about $2000 worth of perf parts that are toast. Could be more if the roll bar or headers got tweaked. And I will want to have the blower, trans & rear end gone thru. We'll see.....
