and just like that ***POOF*** its all gone

a few people here already know what this about... sad to say my 8 is no more.

while sitting at a red light this past friday night... i was rear ended by a drunk driver. the rear end of the car was destroyed. im pretty sure it will considered totalled by the other guys insurance. my legs went into the dash and my neck got whipped really hard, but ill live.

im gonna buy back the car as long as the price is reasonable. havent decided if im gonna build another 8, or just part it out.

here are the last set of pics, taken about 30 min before its death .

Wow. Glad you're okay. Ditto the others and make sure you go to the doctor to make sure you're okay. If you don't have medical insurance for some reason his insurance company should pick up the tab. Take out your frustrations on his insurance company. They should be your little bitch and beat them for all their worth. If they even bat an eyelash threaten to get a lawyer. Their jackass client was intoxicated and dead in the wrong. You should get a shiney fully repaired 8 handed to you on a silver platter for that one.

So do you have any pictures of it wrecked? Is the insurance going to compensate for your physical AND emotional pain?
