RIP TBSS

[PapaBear]

Well, surely she's totaled. Every body panel has damage, including the roof which has a hole in it......

Turned on Magwood drive behind a lady in a Corolla. She got in the median to turn left, and as I kicked down a gear to continue going, she decided she didn't want to turn anymore and came into the lane. I swerved a bit, and hit the curb, jumped it, and wound up spinning in the grass taking out about 100' of wooden fence.

One fence post went through the windshield by the mirror, one went through passenger side front window, and the vertical posts destroyed the driver's door, pushing it into me. I haven't been to the doctor, but will be tomorrow I foresee. Deep thigh bruise and the base of my neck hurts a little now. All of this and airbags didn't deploy....weird.

BUT...she did her job and kept me safe. The passenger window being laminated instead of tempered may have saved my life......

[Carlrx7]

wow, glad you're ok! I always felt pretty safe driving my tbss. Tyler need to drive his or sell it to you!

[Matts94Z28]

Wow!! I am glad to hear you are okay.

[94FormulaBird]

glad youre ok...musta been some fence

she stick around or keep goin?

[PapaBear]

She hauled ass, never even hit the brakes. Probably didn't even see even see me. Bitch.

I always felt safe driving it too. But the fucking airbags didn't go off, that surprises me.

The front windows being laminated instead of tempered is a big plus. I did glass forever and never even knew the REAL reason why engineers call them out. Mercedes/BMW/VW and some others have/had models with laminated front windows. Apparently it's for safety, and I see that now.

[PapaBear]

Now I don't know what to do....I haven't been thinking about buying a car/truck/anything for a LONG time now......don't even know what I want!

[04ctd]

Papa Bear you just missed a great deal on a cavalier!!!

[jmd]

glad you are ok.

[Carlrx7]

buy anther one

[BIRDMAN]

Damn, glad you're fine given the circumstances.

[PapaBear]

buy anther one

I really want to, but I don't think I will. I'll probably go for a truck of some sort.

[snakeplissken]

Vehicles are replaceable. Speedy recovery.

[AverageJoe]

That sucks, glad you are ok. Hope those minor injuries don't feel worse in the next few days.

[saclifford]

Im glad to hear you are ok as well. Sucks that you totalled the truck. Might want to look into the air bag thing. Gm might need to do another recall. If nothing else it might save someone down the road.

[Red99T/A]

Damn dude! That sucks! Glad you are ok though.

[PapaBear]

That sucks, glad you are ok. Hope those minor injuries don't feel worse in the next few days.

I feel worse now than I did 4 hours ago. Steadily aching more. I'll go to the Dr. tomorrow as my left thigh is now almost too sore to walk on. I'm definately gimped up.

[BIRDMAN]

Yeah I wouldn't recommend any more foot pursuits for a while.

I'll save my comments.

[98Camarod]

Dang, that sucks. Glad you're ok though! You would have been cut up to the max if you didn't have that glass.

[PapaBear]

A friend just sent this.....sad

[bambooi]

I'll save my comments.

let's hear it

[PapaBear]

let's hear it


Nah. He hasn't talked about it so I won't either.

[RoadconeTuning]

#spillthebeans

[BIRDMAN]

I think he's referring to how my second Lightning also blew up and therefore I'm on foot, so to speak.

[RoadconeTuning]

damn, apparently you need to get back into an E36M3

[BIRDMAN]

But it was so slow :(

[Bradleyrj]

Sucks what happened but at least your ok. You going to try and save that drivetrain for a project?

[bambooi]

I think he's referring to how my second Lightning also blew up and therefore I'm on foot, so to speak.

damn... bad luck?

[Whaler]

Wow. Sorry to hear of this. I was wondering why the fence was shredded when I drove by today. Glad you're ok.

My dad is selling his 99 h/c/I moser 9" z/28 with ss hood and spoiler. It's clean as shit if you need a ride

Wish I had the cash...lol

[GreebeanZ28]

Get that orange ss on here for next to nothing.

[blkscls1z]

That SOM SS is a great deal!

Wish I has the cash, again. Lol If he would trade for a Triumph Daytona and some cash, I would!

I Have a lightning if you want another one. I also have a spare built motor just needs new rings and bearings to go with it. Never drive the damn thing, so might as well sell it.

[Carlrx7]

you buying the truck back and parting it out? I may be interested in buying it back for you.

[04ctd]

Wes, do you need AC in your DD?

this base model appears to have AC:

Right now I'm 0-2 with Lightnings...lol. I just need to get this one back up and running and get a cheap DD after. I'll probably sell the bike to do so. If anyone wants to come give me a hand with it, I can pay in beer and food :P

Is that an OEM FRS Splitter on that car??

[PapaBear]

That all depends on what they give me for it and what they want for the carcass, but I would like to, yes.

[RoadconeTuning]

splitters are stupid and dont belong on street cars.

[GreebeanZ28]

Because daily driver. That should be a shirt.

[DIGGLER]

Im not a fan of that z28 splitter. I think I would have to toss it if I were rich enough to buy one of those cars.

[RoadconeTuning]

Better ditch those sticky tires and carbon ceramic brakes too.

[DIGGLER]

Better ditch those sticky tires and carbon ceramic brakes too.
Why? Those would actually serve a purpose. I never race at a road course where I would need a splitter. Never drive over 100mph either. If it was a race car I would be all for it, but as a driver I just cant see having that thing on there.

[BIRDMAN]

Look, I think it provides a valuable spot to place trophies and car shine products on during car shows.
