Sorry to hear about you accident, glad you are OK. You are right a car is a car (I have to remind myself this all the time about my vette).
Good luck with the insurance companies and hope you get back into a nice vette real soon..

That's horrible man... But hey, even though it's a car you may have loved, it can be replaced. The fact that you're alright is what really matters!

Ouch, too many threads about this lately. Take care man, glad you made it out okay. There's plenty of C5s for the choosing when your ready for the game again, assuming you don't go to the C6 side
