Cool


Um. Brother, I'm thinking this deserves a thread all on its own, especially once you get pics online.
Holy crap.
Over 100 MPH?!
Flipped car
Totalled?
"Funny"?!
I'm glad you too are safe and uninjured. Start up your own "wrecked" thread and tell us more as you can.
Wow...another ES down *tips a 40*

naw no heated seats on it. the seats were pretty messed up after the accident so I don't think anyone would wanted them. The glass and other stuff in the car ripped it up pretty good.

Wow!! Glad you're ok. Just thinking, an SUV flew over my car and I got away with scratches...miracle right there bro....

Luckily the SUV wasn't halted when it hit you, or else it would've stopped on your roof with you in the car...

Once again, thank god you're ok.

Now....as for the ride :'( damn that SUV driver!!!

It good to see you came out OK ... too bad about your baby...... at least you know she died for a good cause .... YOU.

We should never forget no matter how sweet our rides are... the most important thing is that it must do the job it was meant to do .. to SAVE US.... so don't ever compomise lives with shonky mods to impress our friends.

REST IN PEACE.... you earned it.

man, there are so many pieces i'd love to swap off that car. i don't see why they wouldn't let you get in there and swap the wheels out. hopefully they let you pull that system out of the trunk.

on a side note... how was the ride when you were riding slammed like that?

can't wait to see what you get to replace it.

Wow, what a story!

And what pic's!

Glad your ok, thats all that matters. Secondly, I hope the guy in the expidition had some large coverage limits, would hate for you to not get what your car was worth if by the time he pays for 4 cars, he's run out of money...

Of course if you have un-insured/under-insured, I'm sure you'll be fine...

If the deal with the pearl white falls through, I've got one in Memphis same color as yours that was totaled. Just rolled 190K and needs some TLC. Great DD and has taken us to Mardi Gras (February), Gulf Shores, AL(September), and Chicago last weekend. Its a SOLID car, SO is the 2nd owner...

Not in my name, in the SO's, but I could probably talk SO into letting it go for the right price...

Hope you got a rental car to drive until they cut you a check...

believe it or not, the insurance has already cut me a check for my car and towed it away and its been less than a week! I should be getting the check soon.

As far as riding dumped, it just depends on the coilovers. I had JIC coilovers and the rode smooth but stiff - by that i mean the dampers were much stiffer than other coilovers that I have rode on. Still, they were comfortable enough to daily drive 100+ miles a day through houston roads.
