Scythe's Cobalt is down and out

Coming off of I-80 onto I-57 tonight my car caught a pot hole....I lost control, spun left...spun right...and my car ROLLED twice. I only came out with a headache, a seat belt burn, and a cut on my hand (along with a citation for hitting city property...sorry city, couldn't slow down in mid air).

My brand new cobalt SS Supercharged....my baby...the car I put so much time and effort into...is gone. Crumpled bear can. Front mount heat exchanger.......in my engine block, wing shattered, glass....not.....My baby is gone. I fill kinda numb.

This is approximately 1 hour after it happened. Man...and I was supposed to drive back to school tomorrow.

Lucky a guy from Chicago garage was right behind me and helped me out the way through. Very ncie guiy, a Z owner....too bad we met like this

RIP Cobalt......great way to end spring break

**** man, I'm sorry to hear that. Glad you're alright though. You can always replace a car.

I didn't know you lived in Matteson either. I live right by you, never seen you driving though.

Luckily....I saved ONE eyelid after they dragged my car onto the truck (This was a SAD sight). and when/if I get another balt. getting the other one remade and putting them back on. they're my trademark....sadly they'll be out of commission for a bit.
