wrecked

Well last night went for a drive. While sitting at a dead stop waiting for the lady infront of me to turn. The guy cruising at 60 in a 45 decided he didnt need his brakes. This comes only a few months of having a new build and only a few weeks after having Term tune it for me so its a bummer for sure. Not sure just what insurance is going to say about her but fingers crossed the cobalt will come through. Not exactly the way i wanted to get a new IC and hood. Le sigh

Yep tell the insurance company your neck and back are sore untill you have all the cash in you hand plus the car. Was wrecked a couple years ago and got the check and the car . I finally got healthy a couple weeks later.

If she is sore have a Dr look at her. You have I believe 2 weeks to file any medical claims with your insurance company.

Somewhere in the lounge in the last two days was a post for a CL add for a black LNF with a blown motor. Front bumper cover was scratched up but heck, you could put your motor in that chassis and be good to go. Let me see if I can find it for you.

523 was all nose damage. The quarter replacement and trunk floor will ,out likely kill it I know that's not what you wanna hear. Hope it all works out for you no matter what it may be man!

Make sure you do not sign anything from any insurance company's or give statements until you talk to a lawyer. There's tons of them out there who will see you for free as they work on a percentage of what they get you for compensation.
