I'd kick the **** out of the tow truck driver if he scratched my car after I took out a pole.

1. Sucks that you got in a wreck.
2. You hit a pole and you are worried about a scratch.
3. Cars as investments.

**** if I was towing it and had some dumb *** bitching at me for damaging a totalled car I'd **** it all up, I'd pull that **** up half off the flat bed.
She accidentally down shifted while you were side by side, not trying to race or anything huh. 3rd to 2nd usually won't cause a car to go out of control unless you're at the top of it.
Sounds like a shitty story to me.
well mabey you should come down here and hit a pole too and let the tow truck driver beat the **** out of your car while he is trying to get it out, and see how much you like it. and you must not really car about the way your car looks or you wouldnt be driving a camaro

Sorry to hear about your altercation, but hey at least you both walked out of it. Material things come and go, lives and loved ones don"t. On another note tho, I'm not doubting you or calling you a liar but perhaps you were a bit shaken up and were doing a shade under 30 mph, Hence being we all know F-body's are very unsafe at minimal collisions but at 45 hitting a pole, the air bags would def had deployed (anything over 15 mph in front) and that car would have looked like an accordian, and you might have been a bit bruised. I'm no expert just my .02, g/l either way dude nad be careful
