Glad to hear that you're OK. That sounds like a really nasty accident. Get your insurance settlement and then go out and buy yourself a new Z06!

The most important thing is that you are okay. The second most important thing is that the car did it's job protecting you.

<sniff> It gave it's life for you man.....

Glad you are OK. Don't worry about the C5, it's not like they are rare (at all).

tipcapman, thanks for posting the pics, and thanks to all for the words of encouragement. I went back to the crash site a few days ago and am still amazed that I did not wind up dead or hurt more than I did. I am also VERY thankful that no one was coming in the opposite lane as I would have hit them head on doing about 50-60.

Trust me even though the car was a mess, there is STILL a lot to be thankful for

Jay
