Saturday night I was coming home from a friends house pretty late at night (3am). The road was dead quiet and streight and I decided to get on it a bit from the light. I feathered the start from 1st and got on it at 3000rpms. I ended up getting some real bad wheel hop and let off the throttle, but it was too late. The next thing I know I begin to spin real bad. I went to counter and before I knew it I was up on the opposite lanes curb and clipped my rear quarter into the tree. Totally sucked, but I walked away from it with some bruised obliques and lats from slamming into the center console on impact and some still lingering sadness and depression.
Today Im at work and get a call from my insurance telling me its totaled. Im so disappointed, I read some past posts saying that people in my position should push for a total, but deep down I really didnt want them to consider it a total loss. That car was awesome. I loved the attention I got in it and all the comments. My insurance hasnt come back with a value yet, but they said the price would be "dealers retail", whatever the hell that means. Well see what happens, but man do I miss that car already.
I talked to Chuck Tator today and would just like to thank him again for spending time with me on the phone and offering his advice. I really appreciate it.
Thanks to all you guys on the forum and the guys I met at the Hawaiian Tropic Event in NYC.
Whenever I look at this pic I cant help but think of that bikini top on it reminding me of the sheet they pull over someone after theyre pronounced dead.
