Crap! Sorry to hear this. I never heard anything back from you after landing, so I assumed you had made it home. :(

Pictures of the damage. :-(
From the scene:
Attachment 4925
Front Wheel:
Attachment 4927
Front Fender:
Attachment 4926
Rear Wheel:
Attachment 4924
Rear Fender:
Attachment 4928
Looks to me that both the front and rear bumpers will need paint work. And then there is the suspension... the front wheel is now WAY out of alignment and the rear wheel has a noticeable wobble, so there are definitely bent suspension parts.
Well I have to admit it doesn't look as bad as it sounded. Good luck!
Yeah... it could have been a lot worse. I was only going about 35 at most, in a perfectly straight line when the rear end suddenly decided to pass the front up. I then slide almost completely backwards to the wall, with the front fender making contact a split second before the rest of the car. Due to the incline, I believe the suspension was at full droop upon contact with the wall, allowing the wheels to take the rest of the impact. The car must have bounced off the wall before it came back down, as there is not even a scratch on the door or anything else between the wheels. Both wheels left half circle impressions in the wall, and that is pieces of concrete from the wall that are wedged between the rim and tire.Quote:

I forgot to take a picture, but there was a pile of bumper, grill, and tail light parts from at least 3 different cars sitting about 10 feet away from where I came to a stop.
Sorry about that. Glad you're OK.
That does suck. Wish I would have just offered to come and get you.
Crap... hate to hear about your car, but glad you're okay.
Glad you're ok.
Let me know when you part it out... I want the engine. ;D
Todd.....sorry to read about this. I am stuck in Roanoke, VA working and the weather here has been much better than home. I know I have some control arms I can donate if you need em...assuming I will be home soon.
Sorry to hear this, also. Glad you are OK.
That sucks to hear. At our body shop we have been getting aot of phone calls and people coming in for estimates, but they havent all dropped off yet. If you get in now, you should be ahead of the crowd. Also the insurance adjustors are slammed now, I called one out last monday morning and im still waiting on them to show. Good luck!Quote:

Your conscience should be clear... I had your number in hand and could have called you, but the sight from the plane of all the cars driving down the highway gave me a false sense of security.Quote:

If you decide to replace it I'll give you a good deal on an NB. ;)
Sorry to hear about your damage. I was very fortunate on Tuesday when I spun out on LBJ (near 75 Central) with no damage.
Seems the wall beat me to it.Quote:

It's gonna be one bitchin' Stevan Boyd custom. Can't wait to see it finished.
I've been in California for the last 2 1/2 weeks, and just got back about 7 hrs ago. I have not checked in with Stevan to see where he is with her.
I saw it this weekend he is making some good progress. *
