Default Another One Bites The Dust

Dumbass made a left in front of me as I entered the intersection.

The year that I owned my SC was a blast...she will be missed.

My condolences, for your loss. Everytime I come across such threads. I fear for my Sc future/when on the roads.

Man this really is a thread I don't enjoy looking at, and hopefully I will never post one similar!
Hope your okay and I hope I see you in a new SC!

Thanks for the support.

Yeah I got out of the car under my own power. Can't say the same for the other driver. I think he broke a rib or two. I'm actually really ok. Its crazy how ok I am. The police and paramedics couldnt believe I was ok.

But yes she did exactly what she was suppose to do and I thank her for that.

I just talked to insurance and they said its worth $5300. I sent them the receipts for the suspension and wheels so hopefully I get something for those.

Not 100% on what I'm going to get next but I'm just glad to be here haha.

I just switched insurance companies to Progressive. They will give you whatever the dollar amount you have invested on your car, if you didn't know this already. Just provide receipts and pictures if asked. I have mine covered for 25K at it is a $100 a month for full coverage.

Glad to see your ok, and that the FD blocked the street while they worked the wreck. I see this time and time again, that they don't. Coming from a paid firefighter here.

What's your plans now, getting another or time to move on? I am glad that you also walked away and was able to provide a picture and the story.

This is one of my biggest fears. In New York people drive like *******s, and I've already had some very close calls in the last 5 months I've had my SC. I know I'm not near the value you guys have in your SC's but I'd really hate to wreck it after investing as much as I plan to invest into it.
