Wrecked it yesterday on the way to work, spent 4 hours in the hospital & had to take a taxi home :(

I was driving to work when a car transporter truck deceided to change into my lane while I was in his blind spot. It was raining & the wheels locked right up & bam! Slammed right into the right hand corner of his trailor. My Spec is lowered so the whole engine bay basically was ripped in. It sucks to see the header & AEM intake all mangled up :( It was a fun 7 months of owning this ride & I'll prob lose money on this wreck. I'm all hopped up on pain pills so I'm gonna go to sleep.

I'll post pix some time later this weekend :(

Damn that sucks. At least you weren't seriously hurt. I hope the insurance company doesn't try to screw you over. My insurance company is trying to screw me over when a lady hit my car. Hell she even admitted to it, she has the same insurance company that I do. I just hope all that stuff gets sorted out and you get what you deserve.

Sh¡t man... sorry to hear. :(

I'd give you a call now... but I don't wanna wake you up.

I have some advise for the insurance... I've been thru that mess b4. If it was bolted to the car, you can put it on their tab. Also, they may try calling soon and getting you to settle... DON"T TAKE ANY MONEY until you are sure about the amount. Too much to type... give me a ring.

Holy fockin A Dan!! I just got home from a long weekend up in NY...sorry to hear about what happened. I third what mad said. Getting your vehicles worth is just like as if you are working out a deal for someone to buy it, that's straight from my insurance guy who is a cool dude.

As 2002GT said, maybe you can get that Neon SRT 4 now:(

Get well soon!

Thanx guys, it's Tuesday & I'm back to work. Thanks for all the luv.. I'm sporting my little bro's 1.8T this week, so it's not that bad. But I've got an annoying little bubble of stress in my gut. Hopefully this all works out in my favor, but I won't know until the police report comes in. You just never know.. :(

i hope everything works out for you... and i hope you get well soon too!!

Take it easy for a while.... I just lost a friend who was being stupid on a motorcycle. Glad you didnt get anything more than what you got though!

It's probably too earlier to ask this question, but I bet you thought about it a little..... what type of vehicle are you wanting to get?

Sorry to hear that, that sucks (especially with me buying a new car)...

Like everyone said, at least you weren't hurt tooo badly, you can't be replaced, your car can. Still sucks to know that happened though. Get well and get a new car so you can start modding again!

I'm waiting on my insurance comp to appraise the damage, both of the bodyshops it has been too have said it was a total loss :( I'm hoping it is a total, because it will never be the same car again.. :(

On the new car outlook, I've been looking at a Red Dodge SRT-4. Payment's work out good, but I have to see about any increases in my insurance & what-not. But, the SRT-4 looks like it will be my new ride if my car is a total loss..
