Sorry about your misfortune . Hope you are ok, but I'm so glad to see how well the cabin holds up intact. Thanks GM.

Let me beat everyone and say "Time for a widebody conversion?"

 

Edit your post and hit the enter key in between your pics.

Man does that accident damage suck! Hope you weren't hurt!

 

You got hit in the front? that sucks!

 

 

Bummer

 

Ouch. Sorry about the bad news.

You got hit? Looks like YOU hit something... you were going 45 mph, yes? Head-on collision?

What exactly did you hit? What type of car? Front corner of the car, or? I'm curious as to how that damage was caused.

Looks like the car protected you well, but the car is pretty torn up. Did you get hurt at all? Hopefully not.

Any professional speculation yet as to how much it will cost to put it back together? What will need to be changed other than the obvious?

 

 

...

 

Hit front corner at an angle of a civic. dont know the costof
repair yet everybody was ok. By the way air bags stink when the go
off. Another curious thing was since I am 5ft. 7 I sit fairly close to the
wheel and the air bag did not pop me in the face the seat belt retracted
and held me in place securely. Air bag must have slightly bruised my right arm when it went off.

 

How did the Civic fare? Would you say the Civic's damage was the same or worse than that of your Vette? Any pics of the Civic?

Glad everyone was ok.

 

So glad everyone is alright in both cars.

 

next time use bigger pictures

 

Thanks Grumpy I have been moping around all day. For some odd reason I LMAO at your reply!!

 

sorry it could be worse( could be in the hospital) an obligatory comment to save some one else from saying it " That will buff right out". I would not be surprised if that is totaled you have frame damage and that is not easy to fix on the corvette. make them total it the car will never be right after words.

 

What does LMAO mean?

Moderator:
No disrespect to the poster, but, as long as I've been here, it amazes me that I still get stumped by the acronyms.

Maybe it would help if there was a "Rosetta Stone" (translator) in the Stickys to decipher all of the shortcuts - which save 5 or 6 keystrokes for the poster, but end up costing thousands of keystrokes from people like me - asking questions like this.

Thanks.
