Really sorry to hear that Omar - I've always enjoyed looking at your pics (of car and other ). Turn this situation into an opportunity to get something even better and have fun modding. Most important is that you and the SO are OK.

Good luck on getting the money for the mods. I hope you get the money or the mods back. I don't know if insurance will just also give you money for the mods without insuring them too though. My insurance said they insure mods for an extra cost of course.

best of luck and keep us updated if you look for another Vette.

It may have been posted earlier in the thread but I didnt read the whole thing. You dont have to take the insurance company's first offer. They do have to settle it. They can make you wait.... but if you have patience they will come up quite a bit on price. Have they offered you a buy back amount? Sometimes you can make good $$ parting (what's usable) of your old car out....and get your mods back...

Sorry to hear about the the ride, Omar. Good luck with the replacement-as a fellow former black vette owner I would vote for yellow as the new color...
