Car totaled, almost killed in Bowling green KY
I am sitting in a hotel in Bowling green KY. My buddy is in the Hospital and my vette is totaled! 20 miles outside Bowling green, on the way to the C5/C6 bash an 18 wheeler changed lanes into me and I had NO where to go. A concrete wall on my right, the truck came over on me hitting me on my left rear corner, then turned me sidewways and pushed me hundreds of yards down the freeway at over 60mph. He never saw me, and did not know I was there until another trucker called him over the CB and told him to STOP! You are pushing a vette down the highway! My buddy is ok, I am alive, but I swear...I thought I was going to die! Anyway, I rented a car and will be going back to Myrtle Beach without a vette. The trucker told the trooper, it was his fault, but KY is a "no fault insurance state" meaning your insurance fixes your car, no matter who is at fault! BS!!!! I say. I am going to bed now, I am sore and my custom 05 C6 is GONE!!!!

OMG glad you are OK and your friend. His insurance should pay for your car. Call your ins. co tomorrow and let them settle it.
Sorry to hear about your car. Make them buy you a 09.

Thank God you're alive! Sorry to hear about your loss, but cars (even custom Vettes) can be replaced - you can't be replaced. 
Know you must be sick about the situation, but keep your chin up. This is why we all pay insurance. You can start over with new mods on a new car!

Hope all goes well with you and your friend. The car can be replaced with a new and better one. My prayers for your friend for a speedy recovery.

Wow, that is scary and sad 
Very sorry to hear that, your car was very clean. Looks like an 08 could be in your future.
Glad to hear you both are okay...thats the most important part.

OMG, sorry to hear that. I'm glad you guys are okay. $hit happens but we all hope we never experience something like that. Get some rest. Get in touch with some of the other forum guys who are there and have a decompressing talk. All will be made right in the future. Keep a smile if you can.

holy crap, that is horrible! Was he on a cell phone? (a bad joke to lighten your mood, read the other post about it)
at least you lived, cars are replaceable.

Really hope all works out for you. Good to hear you and your friend are going to be ok. Just goes to show you how fast things can happen - and for no apparent reason. Best of luck to you in your recovery.
