The good news is that you are here to tell us!! USUALLY, a "rear end" situation will be quickly resolved by the insurance folks...were the police involved?.....and hopefully you can get back into a GS either used or new in the not too distant future! Sad to see such a great car gone....

Police were involved, drunk driver hit me. I feel like I fought in a heavyweight fight last night. I smell a C7 in my very near future! Delilah was beautiful and she will be missed. I had just ordered a bunch of upgrades too. Trying to cancel them now.

Sorry for your loss but glad you are ok. Start looking at some C7s' and I'm sure it will make you feel better mentally. I hope your neck and back are ok.

Sorry, but glad to hear you are OK. This may now be an opportunity to update if you choose to do so, depending upon the insurance settlement.

That blows man, but you walked away and that's a gift my friend.

If you can pull it off, I'd be in the same boat and would also seek out a C7! Grand Sport would be my target :p
