Same thing happened to me when a Cobra slid infront of me and sent my firebird sideways into a telephone pole. He didn't stop either.

I'm glad to see you're ok. Unfortunately the odds are they'll not catch him.

:eek:
Man I'm glad, as are you, you walked away Crow. One tough bird. :thumbs:

Perhaps a new C7 is in your immediate future, now?
After all the C7's roll cage has to be even better than the C6. :cheers:

About 6 months ago my wife and I witnessed a hit and run, we chased the a-hole and got his license plate number and reported it to the police. The police arrived at his house and he was drunk so they couldn't charge him with a DUI even though he was probably drunk while driving. He's serving 15 years in prison right now and will never be able to get a driver's license again since this wasn't his first offense. The gentleman who got rear ended had some really bad whiplash and luckily it didn't ruin the back surgery the guy had 3 months prior.

Too bad there were no witnesses there to get the guys plate number. Get well soon and good luck building your next vette.

Glad to hear you are ok for the most part. Sickens me to hear about idiots like this. Hope they find him soon and prosecute to the fullest.:cheers:

Never Good, Glad you are ok

Get better soon! Good hunting to the police!

Let us know the outcome. I'd really like to hear that the rotten SOB got nabbed. Glad you are OK.

Wow - you had that car going good - too bad.

Are you still riding bikes?

Glad to hear you will be OK. I see the side air bag deployed. Did it help protect you?

I wish you well.

This Happen to my son a few years ago, the guy try to get away but few good people block him in , then he played stupid ,well stupid went to jail , found out he had no INS. I hope they find him soon for ya

As all have said thankfully you're ok! They'll catch the mo$%er fu%^er and prosecute him!

Glad to hear that you're ok.

Can't wait to see your next post where you tell us that the other driver has been caught and prosecuted.

How scary is that? Glad you'll be OK, the vette can be repaired or replaced. Hope they nail the other driver.

This guy would have killed me if I did not have that cage. I have a wife and 3 children that depend on me. The wife does not want me to get another Corvette.

Yes the side airbag probably saved me from breaking my neck. The front bag did not deploy because he hit me in the drivers doors. My face and neck don't feel good from the airbag impact. My whole left side feels like i fell off a building and landed on it

If you have all of the documents regarding the work done to the car the insurance company "MAY" take that into account (They did when I hit a deer in my 1977 Trans Am awhile back. They were going to total it until I pulled out a bunch of receipts from the work I have had done to the car at which point they fixed it)

That said

I wouldn't really WANT them to fix it. I like the idea of working thru your insurance company to buy the salvage and then getting the good stuff out (To either sell separately or put into a new car)

I am happy to hear that your car saved your life. As for that guy.....lets just hope he gets what he deserves.

Heal up and like others have said, try to buy the car back and fix it or rip out the engine/tranny/rear and sell the rest of the car.

Hug your family. :)

Glad you are somewhat OK. Hope they catch that azzhat.

Tell your wife you might not have survived if you were in any other car than a Vette. GL:thumbs:

So glad that you are okay your angel is working over time. You are probably going to hurt more in the next couple of days than you do now. (Hate to tell you) I would definitely buy the car back and you can sell off the body panels, lights, interior, etc anything else that you don't want to keep. I understand your wife being upset but I am sure if you end up wanting another vette she will get on board. Right now relax, heal and thank God you are alive and in one piece.

Wow. Just wow.
