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.

omg the lisence's plate is bent

im sorry, i dont know why i noticed that. it looks like it held up pretty good. how fast were you going? speed limit says 70, but im gussing lower due to wetness? you sure made a mess.

my camaro has a r-title and it doesnt look as bad as yours.

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.
