bad news
 

got into bit of an accident this evening on my way back from tru2chevys house...car is pretty ****ed up...new front and rear bumpers, lights, probably 3 of 4 new 1/4 panels will be needed...car runs like a champ though lol. Hopefully it still will after having to sit at a tow yard overnight till i get it to my friends shop. Hopefully he'll be able to help me out we'll see i guess...my stock paint is mystic teal metallic so im not sure how much thats gonna effect the bottom line of this deal...maybe i can work in some flames er something lol i dunno im a lot shaken up at the moment. FWIW it was a deer that caused teh accident...hopefully my insurance wont drop me NJM :roll:

That sucks Bill. Glad it wasn't too serious.

aw man im real sorry to hear that...glad your ok tho...did you have collision insurance? and dont worry about rates w/ NJM my boss got 3 speeding tickets in one night and his insurance didnt go up a dime

well, we have contemporary to get all the body parts from and with matt and garett around i am sure we can work out the paint and labor pretty easy. glad yer ok man, we can fix the car. maybe a little weight will fall out of it while we are at it :)
try to get teh car to FM and we will figure everythign else out from there.

later

Dude that sucks :( I hope everything gets worked out.

yah I already talked to matt about it...im taking the day off tomorrow to bring it over there, figure that out, tell my insurance where the cars at, get a rental, blah blah blah and then hooters lol :roll: long friggin day, as if today hasnt been long enough :cry: i almost **** myself when the tow truck driver started teh car up and starting revving the motor with the state trooper like 2 inches from me lol was just waiting for him to do a visual lol.

i really hope that deer is so ****ed up u cant tell wtf it is...i vow to kill one for u this winter my friend...VENISON FOR ALL!

Thx jon I'll take some stew.

Dude, that sucks so friggin bad....




















I got dibs on motor 8)

That sucks big time. Its worse nowing the car is no longer "virgin".

that sucks dude, glad to hear you're ok. the car can always be fixed.

you still gonna be able to make it to all the meets this week (hooters tonight, my house saturday, island sunday)? well, obviously your car won't.

sorry to hear that bill, glad you are ok though. We'll get it all fixed up, don't worry. those accidents really suck man, i feel your pain. I've got a black hood to show for it. haha.

Nah - don't kid them Liz, Dats u new carbon fiber hood yo!

Sorry to hear about the Z, glad you and Lizzie are ok though.

I'm sure Matt will have it back together with nice shiny paint very soon, right Matt?

yah lets hope...they gotta put it on the rack though...not sure how bad it is...i really dont want them to total it because ive put so much work into the car. But its alot of work to be done so we'll see...matt & his boss will hook me up I think so we'll see.

NOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!! Not the rack! :cry:

That sux man - I hope it straightens out ok...

- Justin

if the car's totalled you'll just have to swap the drivetrain into a 71 vette and give it to me for $8

HAHA no.

ill take it in a third gen for $12
<--high roller :wink:

i will give you 50 so i can put in the bu

hey! I already got dibs on motor!!

This is just another reason why all cars should be equiped with twin .50cals behind the headlights and radar in the nose.

Sounds like you have given this a lot of thought. That kinda scares me.

- Justin

Not really. I did think about adding a 12 guage shot gun to shoot down the birds that just LOVE to drop a few drops of "love" on my hood, roof, hatch, etc etc. That, or just tell my boss that Im not parking over by the bird pond. 8)

Damn Bill, sorry to hear that but glad to hear you're okay. Tonight I had NO idea about your car, I just read it now on the board. Sorry for asking for that CD the way I did, I didn't know, honest.
Good luck with the repairs if that's the case.

dude don't worry about it...im not really upset about the whole thing yet..actually i think im gonna go look at some cars today. And before anyone says it yes i might be looking at some :typeR: in th e form of an lancer evo & possibly a suburu wrx we'll see.

Hey, throwing out an idea...

You have all these LS1 parts right? All these parts that YOU paid for with your hard work and time? You spent all that time trying to get everthing to work just the way you wanted. If you are gunna spend 30k for a car, why not get a GTO? They are giving 2k off sticker by me. Keep the LS1 parts, and you get an awesome car!

Just an idea... 8)
