What kind of SUV was it? Probably some giant navigator or some escalade with spinners, huh? Glad to here you're still here. Take your wrecked car's parts to build a nice one...or make the SUV driver buy you an RX-8. lol

Talking

That hurts me too.....Maybe FB lovers could file a class action suit against the SUV driver? We could all gain from a "collective" loss.

Truthfully though, that does suck. I agree with rotary rocket, strip the usable parts and use it as an excuse to start over again....

Now not trying to make light of the situation but any fawking SUV looks big when your *** is only suspended about a foot offa the ground and only about 1000 kg of metal or less surrounding you!

get well soon and sue the sorry suckbag that hit you till there nuts drop off from the lawyer bills!

That sucks--glad you are OK--that's the most important thing. Doesn't take much to total these cars.

This Monday morning I almost ran into some idiot that was turning right as I was going thru the green light. Freakin swerved to avoid T-boning the guy and nearly ran into a line of cars waiting at the light--and the second car was a sheriff. Ended up doing a 270 pointing the wrong way and stopped without hitting anything. The cops ran the guy down and gave him a ticket.

Lucky for me that I avoided the accident as my 12 year old son was sitting on that side of the car--could have been real ugly.

Again, glad you're doing OK.

Scott

Damn, that sucks. That car was nice. If that had been me, the SUV driver would have been lucky that they bashed my door in, otherwise I would have hopped out with a tire iron

After looking at those photos I would say that you are very very lucky to not be laid up in a full body cast. My apologies for the earlier joke. I am glad that you are still able to walk about etc. Seriously though take it to them with the lawyer, dude... they deserve to get reamed.

Good to see you're alive and well... everything will be better... just salvage what you can, and make the next one a REAL hot rod!
