Default My 2nd SC in 30 days...The rebirth

So about two weeks ago I was hit by a semi in my 92 SC400. I had only had the SC4 for 3 weeks at that point and was in the middle of big modding plans. Too bad my plans were derailed compliments of a hit and run semi, which spun me into four lanes of traffic on the interstate colliding with other cars and the cement wall. The rest is history.





This is the video from the junkyard when they let me take my rims off of the wrecked SC400. Pretty funny seeing my car being thrown around like a piece of garbage

http://www.facebook.com/video/?encod...4788694&ref=mf

Allstate totaled out my 92 SC4 (only had 128k miles) and that same day I found a 95 SC3 up out in the middle of nowhere North Georgia. My new 95 SC300 has 150k miles and is in great condition. Previous owner was in her 70's and really pushed this thing around...NOT. Babied big time.









It's getting tinted tomorrow morning and then...who knows. What should I do to this one? Suggestions anyone?

Those both look exactly like my car just without tint. Get the car lowered and a new radio if yours isn't working. Go with dark tint too!

Question for you guys...I want to put a wise front lip on my 95 SC300, but the bumper is strange on the bottom. It's wide on the outsides and then there is a gap in the middle. How can a lip bolt right up without me needing to cut something??? It's all stock, but I've not seen this before. Does anyone know what I'm talking about?

I'll post a pic soon...

When I saw the car crashed with 2IS wheels, it reminded me of my first SC when it was totalled. I bought another the next week and the day after, that got hit lol.


Glad you're ok though. That mustve been a scary situation.
