Good luck. When my MC Was about a year old I hydroplaned into a semi sideways at 60 mph (darn stock conties weren't to the wear baRs yet). Mine was fixed andstill drives like new. I hope you come out as happy as I did.
Good luck. Glad your ok. |

It's like shark week in here. Bloods in the water(mod parts). Well if they total and my higher than hell high priced attorney can't get things reduced it will be a free firsll. I will recognize first dibs from this thread. But let us keep our fingers crossed and hopefully "driving too fast for conditions" replaces the C&I.

Well, first of all glad you're ok. 2 days ago someone backed off to my MC. Rear quarter panel needs to be replaced, need a new rear tire, wheel needs to be replaced, and driver side door needs to be repaired. Of course also paint job. Today got the estimate: 3400$. So yours is totalled for sure.

I was on I-70 at 6:30 PM and witnessed the lady that hydro'd her Grand Am into the guard rail at the 63 interchange, I got the hell out of Dodge, and I am really glad I did or I too would have been in the 23 car pile-up that came soon after I left. (Guess it would have been a 24 car). I was not in the Z, but in the Tundra. I eased on to my brakes and the ABS kicked in this is when I notice the amount of water on I-70. The lady that hit the guard rail just sat there and the lady on the right of me just stopped on the highway in the right lane...Me I got off the highway. Called my boss and told him to go another way home and turned on 5-0 Radio and listened to the dispatch get worst and worst.
Mousitch, I waited for you an extra seven minutes on Saturday AM, but I figured you had planned against a drive. Then you texted me and I about s*&^. My drive was cut short at lunch due to a call from a client that needed computer assistance, so I had to run home. The drive I did have was good, and be for warned the roads to Frankenstein are freshly re-tarred. I need to de-tar my baby. Hope that is not too rude of me...

OY! Sorry for your loss. Hope all works out with your insurance, though I'm sure it will if you have a lawyer. They typically only lean on the unrepresented masses. On a side note, quit wrecking Sepang cars! I'm really loving that color more and more.

I just got v12's. You wouldn't blame this accident on them would you? I heard they were great in the rain.

"Careless and Imprudent", aka "reckless driving" I believe. Sure hope you get that one toned down a bit.
Damn mousitch, I really feel for you man. Those pictures are just to look at. Skelekitty took one look and felt sick. First she said "WTF happened" then "I really feel bad for him--damn, I don't know what to say". Geez. Based on what I see, and unfortunately some sad personal experience with that kind of damage, I think it's a total loss. It would cost the very close to the value of the car to repair it (well, to repair it well enough that you'd be willing to drive it again--and that's assuming no unibody damage). M parts aren't cheap, and probably most of the suspension (control arms, stuts, steering rack, etc), hubs/rotors/calipers, and most likely the sub-frame are all toast. I'm glad you're okay, and I think you're pretty lucky to walk out of there with only a sore wrist (and no rollover). The M is a tough car, and that helped. I hope that C&I gets knocked down a bit. The authorities do sometimes make assumptions....sports car, etc. etc. and they go from there. Shit does happen, and I know how hard it will be to not replay this damn thing over and over in your mind. Been there, and it's no fun. And you're so right about not knowing what you have until it's gone. Take care best wishes for better days ahead. |

It will pass eventually. My only recommendation is to ride out the emotional roller coaster your on, let the chips all fall (lawyer, insurance, etc.) and get to a point where you can look at things clearly/pragmatically. That may take awhile. My wife was super-supportive and basically told me to let things run their course and not to make any decisions that were not absolutely required while in that emotional shape. That was sage advice. I waited for my head to more or less clear and then I was able to clearly plan out what I wanted to do next regarding the car. In your case that's going to be replacing it, finding something else, or holding off on the replacement for some unspecified amount of time (based on insurance and lawyer results). It sounds like with the lawyer you're on the right track there and that was clear thinking on your part. LEOs do make assumptions, and I honestly hope that gets addressed. I'm sure folks will have all kind of advice for you--my advice would be to take my wife's advice and not decide on anything I didn't have to decide on until your head is clear. And if you need somewhat "independent" feedback on options, this forum is a pretty good place to put those out there because we're not directly involved with you (which offers some level of pragmatism). Again, my best wishes for better days ahead. |

Yikes. Good luck with the popo. They can really suck sometimes but it all works out in the end it seems.
I can't even imagine how you feel right now

mine are great under braking, but not very good under acceleration (def worse than PS2s). Under full throttle, I can lose traction at 40mph in second
