Well last night I decided to let my friend drive my SS. I guess he was trying to show off turning a corner at 60 but it didnt go quite as planned. Nailed the curb and slid a few yards down the sidewalk and finally hit a stop sign. The front suspension is completely demolished. Axle is ripped completely out if the trans, control arm is broken in several pieces, steering gear is broken in half, strut tower, etc are all bent / broken to ****. Insurance is going to be writing an estimate on it tomorrow. Do you guys think this enough damage to total? It hit so hard the entire engine is tweaked slightly in the engine bay and the passenger tire is pushed into the fender

 

if the body frame is bent then yes they will total it but from the pic you took it doesnt look that bad.

 

that poor, poor cobalt.

sorry to hear that bro..

i'd kill your friend if i was you.

 

Wow, now we all know not to let friends drive our cars, no matter how much we trust them. Because it wasn't his car that was lost, it was yours. Sorry to hear about your loss man, its a beautiful car. Is your friend paying for it? I would think insurance would rip you one for letting another driver drive your car.

Uhm, I think its totalled. It would cost a ton to fix and repair it. Front suspensiona nd engine as well...:thumbdown

 

Im waiting to see what it looks like underneath when they get it in the air but from what I could see throught the wheel the engine subframe has a big kink in it

 

He would be paying every single thing on that car, and we probably wouldn't be friends anymore.

 

Bingo

 

wow.. a little harsh.. i feel, **** happens. id be pissed and yea he would be paying for it, but i dont know about not being friends anymore.. i did 1100 dollars worth of damage to my dads brand new pickup truck one time from being stupid, he laughed called me a moron and things went out normally...

i had an ex girlfriend hit a curb and totally **** my rim up. i yelled at her, but what ever it was an accident.. yeah he was stupid for driving that fast and taking the corner, but i donno.. **** happens, but thats my attitude though...

 

Is he paying for all of the damages and did you flip out on him? Does he even have a car of his own? What happened after he freaked it up?

 

Yeah after i got my nerves back i did flip out on him. I understand **** happens but this all started from some stupid showoff stunt

 

were you in the car with him at the time?

 

No I was coincidentally driving his yellow LT and saw this whole thing happen right in front of me.

 

eh.. i donno what to say, this is that kind of thing that i would need to be in your position to make my judgement on.. if u were standing on the sidewalk, i would say your not the brightest.. but who was he showing off to.. very wierd situation


but i must say.. those rims are ******* awesome.. they look amazing

 

Damn thats shitty!

 

Sorry to hear about your car, dude!! I hope you're going to make your friend pay for the damages, if insurance doesn't total it out. Which, I don't think they'll total it, doesn't look that bad, but I'm not one to judge, cause I'm not an insurance adjuster. keep us updated.

 

Will insurance still cover it if you weren't driving? Hopefully everything gets worked out ok.

 

im surprised he owns a balt too, and still bit it in the turn.
young?

 

Well they did look amazing. I would kick his ass. Who was he showing off to? Wow, if I had an SS/SC nobody but me would drive it, just because I pay for my car and my friends wouldn't take responsibility if they fucked something up. I have a 2.2 n nobody drives it but me. Well heh, my brother thinks he's a badass n drives it to school when I'm sleeping and all his lil buddies think its fast bc of the intake. lollerskates. But anyways, tough loss dude. They shouldn't total it out though. Keep us posted.

Didnt you get ran off the road a few months back?

 

Sure did, this car has not exactly been good luck for me

 

How would you "Make your friend pay for it!"?

Sorry to see it, good luck with repairs.

 

Rims look sweet. I would kill my friend... lol

 

WHAT THE F**K WAS HE DOING SHOWING OFF WITH YOUR CAR?!

Jesus Christ, if that was my buddy, I would kill him. Slowly and PAINFULLY!

 

i dont know about you guys...but when im driving 140+mph in my car...taking turns at 60+....is one thing.

driving a friends car, or familys car...i drive slow and ****...

 

also why NO ONE drives my car, not even my fiance...........
