Default Another Wrecked C5
My worst nightmare just happen. Priorities...what in the hell am I doing on the CF....getting the address and phone # for Ritchey Collision from other threads on the SW forum so that my C5 can be towed there on Monday. My baby was wrecked less than 2 hours ago on the access road at Beltway 8 and 288. The other driver was cited for running a red light and being intoxicated. Had my camera as I was returning from the Covette Owners of Houston Car Show. So I'll post pictures later of the front end damage (hood, lights, etc.). Right now, however, my priorities are all messed up.

Hang in there. And, do not lose heart. Thankfully you are alright. Soon, you will have your beast up and running again. The guilty party's insurance should take care of the damage. Let us know how it all turns out for you. Remember, hang in there, good buddy.

Thankfully no one was hurt. My air-bag didn't even deploy. The hood, both front fenders, lights, MTI ram-air and most of the new chrome and engine covers are all history.

Eeeeks! Accidents are accidents EXCEPT when there is an accident involving a drunk or drugged driver. Then one really desires to take matters into their own hands, fight the urge!
Thank God your OK!
