As for the young twit, "Kick his ***, just for laughs"

 

thanx guys . and thanx for the offer caffine...
first im gona let the insurancew company look at it and see what the deal is then after that my freinds shop might just redo the whole front end for me . maybe ill have enough left over to put that damn I-beam under the front finally

 

Man that suks the big one!! Did his car come off worse?

 

actually my freind got a few of it.. the car actually faired better than mine.
im guessin cause it pretty much went under my car..

 

This is the chance we take when driving any of our cars...there's whaaaay more of "them" than "us"...I only hope you have a good insurance agent, because it seems like that's what it comes down to, now-a-days....

Not saying this applies to your case, but I have noticed (in Michigan) after trying to navigate my "boats" thru the waters...that people have forgotten what it means to allow a "safe distance" in traffic...whan I'm driving one of my cars, I easily get pissed when a "ricer" slams on his brakes and can stop on a dime to avoid a rear end collision. I can't. If I'm driving 4500 pounds of steel, I ain't gonna stop on a dime. People in the last 25 years have forgotten what it's like to drive these big cars. And, they don't care! That means we have to be all that more careful. The bad thing is, if you're in the modern car I hit, you can buy what you need to fix your car, but I can't...without a lot of searching.

If you're driving a 2500 pound '96 Honda 2-door, and can stop on a dime, you scare me, because if I'm following you and you decide to hit the brakes because you're driving too close to that car in-front of you, and I can't stop in time... I can only imagine what truckers are going thru right now...you all need to think about everyone behind you. Nobody seems to care now-a-days about anyone but themselves. People are going to PRISON for driving like *****S...that's all I got to say.

I know you got blindsighted Gearhead55, but I thought I would post this observation...

I'm sorry for your loss...and hopeful for its return to glory! Sometimes, it's the "little miracles" that set us "back"...to make us "better".

ouch man, good luck with that mutha

 

im sorry dude, that ****s....

Is the guy going to pay for damages?

 

Damn Brian, that blows. Good looking car. On the brightside, it is a tri-5, and parts are available new or secondhand relatively cheaply. I think you'll probably come out in the black in the long run. What a ****in shame though, I had a '57 Bel Air that met the same fate

 

Sorry about the damage.........but be COOL........whipping **** is all macho talk. Get him where it hurts.....in the pocketbook.






It is bad having to deal with the JERKS from their insurance ( took me a little over 6 weeks ) but keep your COOL and you can win. After 5 weeks.........of talking I told them I was tired of talking and they could deal with my lawyer..the next Monday they called and settled....at my price. I got the body man I wanted and got paid for the new parts.

I got the whole car painted, got new running boards, and two new bumpers (rechromes ....no repros) ....on his insurance money....

Hang in there....

 

thats exactly what i am lookin to do.....

 

.........So, have ya figured where yer gunna bury the body, not the
Berkley Marina I hope.

'sorry ta hear about the ride.
Pimpin'

 

Damn!

That is my biggest fear.

Nobody got seriously hurt and it can be fixed so it's not the end of the world.

terrible luck, I hope your ride comes out better for it.

 

were gonna try . cause i need it back asap...that was my daily transportation.........

 

That ****s Balls, Time To Hack The Front And Hang The Straight Axle, If Ya Need Help Doin It Let Me Know And Ill Get The Boys Together And Give Ya A Hand

 

That's right John
Gas it up and get back on the road, need a hand we'll be there for you Smitty!

And thanx for all your help this weekend John!

Hey Brian
Remember that '53 Chevy G***er that got wacked around a pole? That's almost ready for the road again, so keep your chin up, we'll get yourdubbler nickel back on the road again!!
See you later this afternoon

Klaus

 

That definitely ****s, glad no one was seriously hurt.

 

WOW, sorry to see this happen, it really ****s. I give you credit, you certainly had more restraint then I would have. Good luck with the repairs.

 

ok heres the deal the frame is ****ed on the chevy i was told the front suspention was shifted and the back of the frame is buckled. so it looks like im ****ed......

 

Doesn't mean it can't be fixed. but you'll need a shop that has some one old enough working in it to have frame experience and not just unibody cut and spot weld stuff.
You was gonna g***er axle it anyway!
There are companies making ropop frames for those.

Has the guy you hit claimied he didn't see you because "you must have been speeding" and all that damage isn't his fault because you didn't have a front bumper like you should have, etc. etc. yet?
Don't be surprised when that becomes the insurance record story....

 

Hey isn't Art Morrison making new frames for these?

Hey If Ya Want I Can Make Some Calls I Know I Can Find Ya A Frame Locally Just Let Me Know

 

good move on your part keeping your cool as it could have really made for a bad day. did you get a police report? list of witnesses? contact an ambulance-chasing lawyer?
