Hi guys...so yes its true...the insurance company declared the 8 a total loss. I think gilbert made a thread on the accident n i'll put up some more pictures. Basically a SUV tried to cut me off and ran me into a wall and i guess when he/she saw me go in front of him they braked really hard and made their turn and booked it when they saw they caused an accident.
But my baby's gone and i've never been so depressed and sad and angry all at the same time...

Control arm broke. So the car is on the floor. The only thing that is holding it up is the wheel

Sure why not, lets be positive. "We will get the a new 8. We will get the a new 8. We will get the a new 8."

and they did'nt cover the wheels cuz the insurance doesn't cover aftermarket stuff...unless we would've paid more for something like that..but, of course we didn't.

I would not get it unless I have the rest of the kit to go with it. Looks odd on a stock car.

Gil & Anet, hope everything works out, it's a bummer that things had to happen this way. I remember when I crashed, when I was racing the guy, he came back behind me to block me from the rest of the traffic. I guess, there is some nice people in Las Vegas.. Any case, best of luck with everything!
