Wreck yard said they were getting phone calls last night of people trying to buy it. Will be calling a lawyer in the morning. I have all my receipts saved from the past 6 years I have had her.

WOW! Could have been much worse. Did the drunk survive? Glad you are ok!!

Glad that you are okay with only minor injuries. That car took a hard hit. Hope you get a good settlement. No sympathy for drunk drivers. I've loss two good friends from that.

Don't know if she did. It happened at 4:45 pm which is crazy.

Glad you are OK for the most part. You not too bad and the drunk airlifted is backwards to normal. But it should not be. I guess we see our cars are pretty solid. I hope you end up with a Corvette you like even better when this is over.:thumbs:

With damage like that :eek:, and you're still alive :yesnod:, you definitely have an :blueangel: looking over you! Every day above ground is a good day!!! :thumbs: Good luck to you.

I too was in group 4. Very sorry to hear about this! There is NO excuse for drunk driving.

VETTEV 12-12-2012 11:17 PM

Incredible! Glad you are okay. Looks like your vette performed well and absorbed the impact as it should have. Alcohol and keys don't go together. Hang in there!

Glad your OK

ztheusa 12-13-2012 12:32 AM

Wow! I hope things work out for you.

Bandit4142 12-13-2012 12:44 AM

Glad you're still with us, that's a miracle in itself. Hopefully the Drunk driver is prosecuted to the full extent of the law.

Choreo 12-13-2012 12:51 AM

That was too close!

Maybe you will have more luck prosecuting than I did. I have been in two wrecks (1972 and 1986) - both times hit be a drunk driver. Neither had anything to sue for and both were out of jail in a couple days.

Now we get to look forward to "stoned" drivers too!

79inSD 12-13-2012 12:51 AM

Thanks for the well wishes guys! Pretty depressing here, was just looking through my Z06 file for the past 6 years. Getting the receipts out for the lawyer. Was looking at the KBB prices, wonder if I will get that from the insurance company. Says 27750 for a good condition 03 with 50k on it...

Just exactly what I was thinking. Get "stoned" is great...and I am still just fine driving. Not a problem!!! Sure.

amazing forces at work ... one of the most badly destroyed vettes i've seen.

glad youre ok





yep, no matter how much we half truth ... drunk driving IS still socially acceptable

GK 12-13-2012 01:36 AM

Jesus! I'm glad you're ok bro... I can't believe how far the pedals shifted!

I hope you feel better and get back on the road.

Boba Fett 12-13-2012 02:38 AM

Glad you,re OK man. Some1 was watching over you.
Another note, DOCUMENT EVERYTHING for your case.

BOUT X 12-13-2012 03:39 AM

all I can say is if you dont believe in God you do now as his hands are all over your car and you. Remember this my friend you may feel fine now but 5-10 yrs later while your walking with your kid / wife and all of a sudden a sharp pain hits you in your back / neck / shoulder and I bet it happens because of this sign nothing say nothing take her to the cleaners because the state will get their money first for the DUI

And damn glad your okay right now
