Please PM me if you are interested in selling just the motor and let me know how much you want for it. I could pick it up from you tomorrow. Thanks
I sent you a pm with my number...

I am so sorry to hear of your misfortune. I have been in your shoes just over a year ago, and I don't want to repeat that scenario.

Even though that car was basically one of a kind, noone lost their lives, and THAT is the most important thing right now.

If you have the energy and the motivation, hopefully you can do it again, and this time make it even BETTER than the one you had. I know I felt numb for a long time after I lost my GS4, so it will take time.

Take care of the business at hand, ensure there are no lawsuits, and things should start coming back together.

Damn, that is so hard to accept, but that is reality, and we are all subject to the same fate at any time.

TAKE CARE!

I don't think anyone should ask anything from BadAssGS. It's bad enough that he lost his car, pending lawsuit, people getting hurt, etc. Then to hear people asking for parts is just wrong. If he wants to sell anything let him make a thread about it and not pressure him. He has so much on his plate right. One word.... RESPECT

Don't let the insurance appraiser take photos of the car with the mods on it. Did they take the photos already? Does the odo work? Give the crooked insurance company a lower mileage than what is actually on the car. If you have comprehensive coverage, they will give you the book value of the car based on mileage and age.

My insurance told me that if the car was NOT totalled i would be able to get money for aftermarket parts.. if the car was ever totalled they would only give me the KBB or whatever that amount is regardless of any mods i did.. hope ure not in the same boat!! good luck and MAN that car is sweet!!

Even if the insurance company totals the car...you get your $$ plus the option to keep the car. Then you can sell the parts.

Wow. Relieved that everyone is able to walk out this accident

As for the car, it's replaceable.

Hope everyone recovered fine.

man sorry for the loss, my blessings to those who got hurt and to u who did'nt ...ur lucky to be alive n well, i had a similar accident in 02 - now i have a pin on my right femur, unfortunately the lady who's driving the other car got killed (long story!)

about the car, it looks like a dream that became a reality - all of a sudden it died bcoz of such n such, the good thing about it is u can build exact same car u had..it's a material thing, but "LIFE" is ireplacable

Glad to hear all you lost was a car, I'm in Ocala I have the stock rims w/tires, 98-00 tail lights and a few other things you're welcome to have any of them if you need them.
