Rocketman Posted May 4, 2006 Report Posted May 4, 2006 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. heres some pics: more pics if ya want http://www.werbatfik.com/uplimg/accident -Rocketman Quote

Rocketman Posted May 5, 2006 Author Report Posted May 5, 2006 Damn, another red GP totaled... That sucks man. Nice to know the airbags work in these things though... 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 Quote

J Posted May 5, 2006 Report Posted May 5, 2006 glad to hear you walked away from it, but let me be the first with the shitty comment of "That'll buff right out" Quote
19Cutlass94 Posted May 5, 2006 Report Posted May 5, 2006 First thing I said when I saw the pictures was "Holy Shit!" Gald your ok, since that the most important thing Quote
Crazy K Posted May 5, 2006 Report Posted May 5, 2006 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!!! Quote
Rocketman Posted May 5, 2006 Author Report Posted May 5, 2006 I call the HUD for ShockTherapy... It was a base model, no HUD. sorry Quote
dbtk2 Posted May 5, 2006 Report Posted May 5, 2006 DAMN!!! :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! Quote
MonteCarloChick Posted May 5, 2006 Report Posted May 5, 2006 Jesus. There must have been some sort of story leading up to that Quote
Justin Posted May 5, 2006 Report Posted May 5, 2006 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. Quote

SigEpCutlass Posted May 5, 2006 Report Posted May 5, 2006 Sucks you lost your car, but atleast you didn't loose your life!!! That looks pretty bad. Glad you're okay. Quote
GnatGoSplat Posted May 5, 2006 Report Posted May 5, 2006 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. Quote
Euro Posted May 5, 2006 Report Posted May 5, 2006 Seems like every time a red newer B4U GP gets totalled it's on the drivers side and worse every time.
