Well my exhaust, and everything driveline related should be ok(stereo too heh). The girl is actually about to get sued, long story short she was in her mom's car, she is an excluded driver on her mom's policy... She was drunk and didnt even get charged DUI... Some BS but what can you do? I hope if the car cant get repaired the insurance company will give me a good payout and i can go but an '00 or '01 vette... Thats about the only car other than another WS6 id drive

that sucks. At least it wasn't a hit-and-run and you caught them. I had a car side-swiped in front of my house when I was 21 and it nearly took the side of my car off. Never found out who did it.

Damn man that sucks. I know how you feel though. Had some dude teaching his DAD how to drive and hit my car at 8 am in the morning. Bet they would have driven off if it wasn't for my neighbor being outside at the time it happened.

Beautiful car tho. Thats the exact look i want for my next T/A NBM on black zo6's . But if they do total it would u mind swaping out that high rise hatch for a low rise one by any chance?!

Sorry dude you are screwed!!! My mystic was totalled by and 18yro who was excluded on the policy in his mom's car. Hit me doing 80....they will loose coverage from their provider and your insurance will have to cover your car. I then tried to sue, but since the most valuable thing they ownded was a 36k mobile home, I was left with nothing except a lien of my deductible if they try to make a large purchase. If they took the time to submit an exlusion letter to their company.....their insurance will not pay for you car. Best of luck though

That sucks man. The first thing you do after they repair it is call a car apprasial company and get a Deminished Value report done.

Yeah at least you are getting it fixed or a new car. I sold a car to someone on this board and let them make payments on it being nice. Found out he wrecked the car in a drunken hit and run. The police called me and let me know he then would not return my calls and stoped paying me money. He still owes me over $1000.00. I will never see it. That was my lesson on why not to take payments from anyone.
