TOTALED THE 04 vert
I had just gone done with the mods I wanted to do. The car was PERFECT. But Tuesday afternoon I got cut off by a box truck and ended up going up a curb and into a wall. I will post some pics later. to upset right now.

2004 vert silver, A4 WITH 3.42 GEARS LG LONTUBES AND BLACKWING INTAKE, NO CATS WITH DYNOMAX CATBACK AND TUNING.
Indeed, she had all the right mods. Not too agressive but not too mild either. I am sorry for your loss but glad that you are OK.
Aw man. I just saw the picture. Shes definitely gone. Best of luck replacing it. Keep your chin up.

Walked away without a scratch. I could not believe how well the car was built. I was not even sore the next morning. Amazing construction.

Glad to hear you okay. I feel your pain as I was involved in an accident on Sat. I got rear ended by a Nissan Altima at 40mph while I was at a dead stop.
I'm a little upset about the car, but very glad that I have my health. Although I'm a little sore, I'm more than satisified the way the car protected me. I just hope our insurance company's recgonize that Corvettes are very safe and lower the rates....wishful thinking though.
Best of the Season...
