Don't do this to your W-Body


Recommended Posts

I dont care to explain the details right now but short n sweet I lost control and ended up hitting a tree moving at a pretty good speed. I'm not sure how fast I was going.

 

I suffered an airbag abrasion to my face and a sore foot (brake foot), my friend who was riding with me had a sore neck but we're both fine now.

 

My ABS didnt activate for some reason, but the airbags did deploy. I'm out of a car untill I fix my capri, a friend offered me a low mileage 92 Chevy Cavalier so I might take him up on that. I guess this is it for me here, i dont really have a reason to stick around.

 

Just fixed the damn thing too, less than 8k on new headgaskets, brakes all around, misc. stuff. I signed it over to the tow company but I can find out where its headed if anyone wants the good parts from the B4U kit. (its probably gunna end up somewhere in Eastern PA). Well built car though, anything less probably woulda killed us.

Holy Crap! Glad you are ok man!!! I'm sorry about your GP

Posted

The car can always be replaced man, you cannot. I'm glad you're both ok. :)

Posted

Dayum. You are both blessed to be alive! I'm glad you guys are okay.

I loved the look of it, such an evil snarl up front. Yea the airbags work.

 

I might get another one one day but its GOTTA be a manual, no more automatics bullshit

hey, that looks freaky!!! almost like the car that i stole a l36 out of ... yikes!

 

glad your alright though scares me to look at it :-\

Posted

!!!!!!!!!!! Jesus!!!!!!!!

 

Go get a lottery ticket.

 

With his luck, it will give him a papercut and the ink will be toxic...

 

Good to hear you're alright, man.

Posted

glad to hear you walked away from it, but let me be the first with the shitty comment of "That'll buff right out"

Posted

First thing I said when I saw the pictures was "Holy Shit!"

 

Gald your ok, since that the most important thing

Posted

damn that sucks. but a car is a car is a car. with enough $$$ you can get another one. you can't do the same with your life. It's a life's lesson, glad you're ok!

 

Get another gp!!!

Posted

I call the HUD for ShockTherapy...

 

It was a base model, no HUD. sorry :willynilly:

Posted

DAMN!!! :eek: :eek:

 

I can only think of 1 w-body I've ever seen that was worst than that bad, and that one hit 3 trees @ 105mph. (and amazingly all 3 occupants lived, although one was in critical condition for a while)

 

I'm glad you are okay and I'm very interested to hear the story when you are comfortable enough to give it.

 

As was said, cars can be replaced, you can't!

Posted

Jesus. There must have been some sort of story leading up to that

Posted

Seems like every time a red newer B4U GP gets totalled it's on the drivers side and worse every time. Next guy isn't going to make it I'm thinking.

Damn nice to know these cars are half ass safe (though my car doesn't have air bags)....glad your and your buddy are okay.

Anyone want to buy my car??? :eek:

Posted

Sucks you lost your car, but atleast you didn't loose your life!!! That looks pretty bad. Glad you're okay.

Posted

Wow, that's really bad! I'm glad to hear you escaped with just minor injuries.

 

Just out of curiosity, how fast do you think you were going during impact?

Do you think the airbags were instrumental in preventing more severe head/neck injuries?

 

I'm a bit disappointed to see so much buckling in the roof, but I've seen much worse.
