Default R.I.P. My Z

My 95' Z28 is no more, I got hit by two cars and rolled over. The car is totalled. It happened on the causeway on the way to Galveston.

Craig called me minutes after it happened I'm glad you guys are ok Joe, but I still say you should be checked out by a doctor just to be on the safe side.


RIP Cleanest LT1 ever.

Got clipped by a van (pit-maneuver), sent us (me and Larry CZ383) into the wall and almost over the gaurdrail into the water. Then when we came to a stop a Neon (Skittle) rear-ended us and rolled us over and slid about 50ft.

BTW- The van driver was an illegal with no license and no insurance.

BTW- Another Skittle (Neon) was braking to avoid everything and solo crashed and flipped as well. Crazy ******* night!

Damn, that really sucks to hear. Your car was one of the nicest LT1 examples out there. Glad you and your passenger are okay, thats the main thing.

So, what's next? Another f-body?

I agree with Zac as well. There could possibly be something that you might not see or feel, but could potentially be harmful.

So...did the cops just write him a ticket, and let him walk away?

Like others have said, the most important thing is that you made it out of that wreck without any serious injuries.

That is absolutely terrible man. Glad both of you dudes are ok, but it sucks that the driver of the van could get away with that. I hope you get what you deserve for a new vehicle.

that sucks but at the very least you guys are okay. I would definitely get checked out though because you could have some injuries that you might not know about, plus you will want to get checked out for insurance purposes etc.

Craig just called me & told me what happened bro.

First of all, don't let it get you down too much, you are alive & kicking!

Second, time for an LS1 now buddy! Part that thing out & get up some $$ for a down payment. You should be able to get financing for a 99+ as long as it's not over 5 years old.

I have some hook ups at a couple dealerships so let me know when you are ready & I'll see if they have one on the lot.
