I hope you are doing ok.

My Insurance company allowed me to strip out my mods in one of my past vehicles when it got totalled. Allstate. They also would let me buy the car back for the scrap value, 10 - 2-% of the payout.

I hope your insurance company is as nice.

That's fucked man... finally getting a chance to see the pictures from a computer instead of a phone. I texted Zack and his response was something like "That sucks! His car was sweet". Keep your head about you and yah, get a Lawyer.

If we do a Dick's meet next week to say goodbye to Erik, I'll text you and give you a ride if you want.

Brad,

I hope you are in better shape than the car. Looking at the amount of crunch, you and the eight took quite an impact. Get checked out if you need to. As for the car, if you need a helping hand stripping out the car, i'm sure there's plenty of helping hands on here ready to jump in. Let me know if you need anything

damn, that suxors... sorry to hear about this. but, at least you're ok... since u got hit from behind, most likely it's going to be ruled the other guy's fault. it's probably fixable- tho if it were me, i'd hope it gets totalled and then just buy another 8. they're never the same after a major mishap like that... keep us posted.

Sucks glad your ok. Fuel system shutoff safety probably is flipped.. and for good reason (as to why it would not start).

Also about the car not starting. The car does not even crank over, so fuel isnt an issue atm. Fuel pump turns on when ignition turns on.

Look at the damage, frame was most likely bent. Doesn't take a genius to figure it out.

Sorry about your car man, but think of it this way. The insurance will probably give you more for the car than its worth so take off all your parts and get a new one. I can promise you that you can find a used one with less miles and is newer for less than what the insurance should give you.

I know its not as easy as it sounds, I wouldnt want to do that... but its kind of like a restart :/

sorry man hope your okay, and +1 to get a lawyer...

Kind of. I couldn't thank the owner enough for giving me a chance to drive the car around the block. Really made my day. Only time will tell what's going to happen.

That looked like a fun ride. All except that you couldn't fit too well in there :-)

That's awesome that you got that experience too.
