damn that sux i wish i would of had slide onto the shoulder lane since it was nothing but grass pretty big piece no walls and then the access road which was empty.

Really nice ride, sad to see it go. Parting it out is the only way to go. You will come out way ahead in the end.

I had the same thing happen to my 1999 procharged and cammed BSM WS6. Back in 2004 my wife (fiance at the time) was driving it on the I10 going around 45 in a severe thunderstorm and an 18 wheeler blew by going 75+ and caused the car to hydroplane into the fast lane and got slammed in the rear driverside quarter panel. Totaled the car.
