RIP My Vette - 56K get the **** out
 
Was on my way to the gun range, hit a patch of water on I-75 and hydroplaned across three lanes of traffic and into the bushes. The tree came out with me when the wrecker came...

I'll let the pictures speak the rest.

PS. Minor frame damage, its not twisted, just dented a little so I don't know if State Farm will total it.

CTS-V is pretty impressive for the money, I looked at those for quite a while.

Sorry about your loss. Just out of curiosity...what are you driving in the down time??

RFF 08-28-2005 04:30 PM

Car covered in grass and mud, yep reminds me of my car when I wrecked it. Sucks to see man but at least you can upgrade now.

bLkWdOw SS 08-28-2005 04:31 PM

that thing is totaled for sure. Its going to be hard for them not to. If they even see the slightest undercarrage damage they will. I would start looking into that CTS-V if I were you. Glad to see your doing good. Sorry about your vette.

The more I look at it the less I think they'll total it. There is no mechanical damage with the exception of the freon that leaked out. Body panels are pretty cheap, so are tires and paint. I'm guessing around 10-15K, which isn't close to being 80%. I looked at the frame again and I'm pretty sure it can be straightened.

We'll find out tomorrow.
