had my GTS totalled...

[crazyspeed]

Wow..glad you're ok. That's (was) a very nice Viper....I am sorry this happened to you.

( and you should take off those primo side sills in a hurry......just kidding)

 

[Ulysses]

OUCH! You are truly lucky. Glad you are OK.

insurance valued the car at $45k and then paid me for my wheels, so $51k. not too bad of a deal, as its in the ballpark of what i would have sold it for. Replacing it's another story i dont want any other GTS other than the one i had so i may try to step into a solid blue '06 coupe by years end. I want to see how long i can hold out(i have a discipline/priority problem)!

i'm fine. initially it was the whole ribs, neck, and left hand(airbag). after that next day soreness i just feel the wrist.

Was this your company, or did the guy who hit you actually have insurance?

 

[Cop Magnet]

You got what you wanted out of the car without the hassle of parting it out to MAYBE make a few bucks. I'd call that a done deal.

Glad you are OK. I only wish the same would happen to me so I could move on to an '06 coupe also!

Yes, this was my insurance company. The guy who hit me didn't even have a shirt, much less insurance

Rev, so you're right by UTSA! my parents are off bandera/1604. i go to sa thursdays and visit my girls(bartender friends) at Reggianos and then Stonewerks(non-smoking spots).

I have terrible luck with cars. For the amount of times my cars get hit, you'd think they were pinatas. I think that the total number of times they've sustained damage is 35. It's not like I'm a bad driver. Of all the accidents, I've actually caused three, and I'm not trying to shirk the blame for my mistakes on other. My cars have been hit at least seven times while parked! Once a huge wooden sign blew off the side of a building and hit my car. I had a brand new trans am get side swiped in a parking lot when it was two weeks old. Last week I was driving my new Lexus and a lady backed out of a parking space and hit me in the rear quarter panel. Each time one of these events has happened, I've been able to say, "It's just a car" and mean it. The Viper is the one car that I'd have a hard time saying that. I drive my Viper so defensively on the street, you'd think it was made of glass. If I wreck it racing on track, I'll deal with it, but if someone else wrecks it...then its not just a car.

Remind me not to lone you any of my cars!!

7-Litre,
Glad to hear you are OK. Seems like no matter how hard you try to keep something nice, there is always something or someone out there that will screw it up for you

Get it for as little as possible. There are probably more broken parts than meet the eye. For one, the entire drivetrain could have damage.
