Sorry to see this but glad you're OK. Unfortunate that we have to share the road with so many horrible drivers.

If you haven't already done so get to a doctor. Seemingly minor symptoms can indicate a huge and life changing injury - trust me I know this to be true.

I thank everyone for advice and condolences.

I'm seeing drs and attorneys. She was insured...so I got that going for me. Lots of neck pain. C4 nerve running down left arm, knees, wrists.

Trust me. I have NO plans to let the CE go. Worst case is buy as salvage and keep as parts car or sell parts to our community.

I may buy another CE vert but a stick this time. Boy....I'd have plenty of parts. The interior of this one is perfect. 60,000 plus miles

Glad you came out of it alive! That could've been so much worse. Scary stuff! I highly recommend seeing few different specialists, just to be sure there's no more unseen injuries. Things can pop up days later. Take care of yourself first, worry about the car later.

Damn, that may not buff out, but in my mind any accident you can walk away from sure beats the alternatives. Hope the insurance carriers involved treat you right.

YIKES!!! Glad you were able to walk away. Hope you recover from your injuries.
(I'm guessing she probably thought you had a stop sign in your direction, because it's pretty hard to not see a silver Vette coming towards you.)
Keep us posted....
