well i never thought it could happen but it did. my car is now destroyed.... because some stupid old lady! check this out i am stopped at a red light for about 1 min already. behind an suv and he is the front man at the light. BOOM i get hit from the back HARD and it pushed me forword under the SUV lifting it up in the air. then hit again by the same car... then AGAIN but this time she keeps pushing me forword about 3 meters, by this time the SUV moved out of the why and only got hit 2 times. aparently her foot slipped and got stuck. YA RIGHT!!!!!
i almost cryed man for real all that hard work gone down the drain. and the messed up part is there cars were not that bad at all but mine its nothing but a right off now.
i will get some pics up tomorrow it to dark right now and raining, besides i cant look at her right now.

damn, dude. i'm really sorry. i hope the insurance process is smooth and everything. what a shame, your car was so nice.

GNR4EVR

jeez man...it's been a rough weekend for third gens

MdFormula350

sorry to hear about the car. accidents sucks so much.

trans87

Man that is horrible. Your car was so sweet too. What color was your car? Man there are too many 3rd gens being destroyed lately

FruityOne

Who is being considered teh guilty party in this? Don't dare settle for patial guilt. If you came to a complete stop at a red light behind a car remember, you were far enough away to see the SUV's back tires in front of you.

Can you take anything out of the car thats worth while? Stuff like aftermarket stereo's I'd take out of there, speakers, any performance stuff.

HanSoloWS6

Man, that sucks. It's good that your OK too. Hope insurance takes care of you. And I hope it's not Progressive, lol. I got screwed by them when my 89 was totaled. Old people need thier license revoked at 55-60 years old, lol j/k.

Vegeta198

old lady or not...i would have got out and proceeded to backhand pimp slap her across the face for such stupidity

Midnight Sun

Amen to that.

Man, your car was gorgeous, you better get compensation, she fuucked up royally. And should have to flip the dime... so angry right now I hate stupid drivers.

WillWood

That sucks, how come so many thirdgens have been getting wrecked lately?

icebird_1981

thanks people, im still in shock my self. some how i cant belive i will never drive my car again. oh trust me i so wanted to smack her one. i told her i am gunna make sure she never drives again and shes nothing but a stupid old lady and belongs in a old age home lookin out the window. she would not give me her insurance info untill the cop came because she did not trust me. and because i had no front plate on
then i get some long *** speach off the cop on how shes old and i scared her and what not. and the funny thing is the lady gots like 3 other mashes on her car like shes been hitting stuff let and right.

devianb

I was looking forward to seeing you put 17s on your ride. That is something I wasn't looking to hear about. Really sad about your ride.

HanSoloWS6

She's been getting practice in for the demo derby at the local county fair, lol j/k.

SLZ

All I get is a red X for your pic. Sorry to hear about this. Just makes me more nervous to take the thirdgens out even more. Lots of idiot drivers out more and more each day. I put tons of time etc... into my 89 Formula( Look under http://www.zalimas.com ) and I would be extremly pissed if this gets bumped nevermind smashed. Again, sorry to hear another one is gone

Yeah, this has been a bad weekend. Makes me not want to drive my car, but it may not even be safe when its parked.

Good luck with everything, I hope you're alright.

AlabamaThunder

Man I'm sorry but i know this does not make it much better, like someone said old folks that can't drive shouldnt be driving. I think they should have to come back in every 5 years for routine checks on there driving skills after the age of 55...

Remember man this sucks but..

It takes a Lifetime to build a master peice, and a Split second to dystroy it.

Nikole

Sorry to hear about your ride....it was really nice

Squeeks83

man i send my condolences upon your loss, im sorry, that REALLY sucks, i try to kill any person that has ever touched my car in the wrong way, i cant imagine not being able to ever drive it again.

again im truly sorry, but maybe its fixable or you can try to get a newer LS-1 Ram-Air bird.

Man, that sucks....hope everything works out. I had the same exaclt thing happen to me about 1 year ago in my old 84 Z28......I'm left with a permanent back injury, and I'm still in a lawsuit with the old lady that hit me.....atleast, good luck man

Jim 86 Bird

My condolences

I'm all for mandatory re-testing for driver's licenses past the age of 65 every few years, unfortunately its a pipe dream b/c the DMV can't handle the current workload it has now.

sorry to hear about it! I got in a really bad wreck my self almost a year ago in my camaro. wasnt as nice as yours but I just got it primed and ready for paint. The worst part is she had no insurance and no lawyer wants to help because of that! So not only am I still in wheelchair but I lost my car and didnt get a dam thing for it! click on the sig to see the pics. so do you still have possesion of the car?

FruityOne

Obviously the doors aren't lineing up any more. Or thats the way it looks in the one rear pic you posted. If the frame is trashed then they won't even bother. the Blue book value on our cars is "too low" even in premo condition. *** damn how i hate insurance companies like that. Thats why I still have all of my reciepts for EVERY thing I've done to the car. And my insurance company has reciepts for that as well.

90firebird

i'm very sorry to see something like this happening to your car. i've always noticed it on the boards because its unique... no one else has that color or those wheels on a bird. best wishes... i hope everything turns out for the best

FyreLance

Nooo! That really sucks bro... I agree with 90firebird... I always have noticed your car in threads because it stands out to me and it's always done something for me. The color/wheel combo just always caught my eye. Best of luck in this situation....

heavy_chevy29

damn that sucks. old people should be taken off the road. they are more dangerous than any young kid. i know how you feel. my car was messed up pretty bad because of some old man didn't feel like paying attention. i hope everything works out ok for you. keep us updated on evrything.

rs_boy

Sorry to hear what happened man. Just recently I had my 91 RS sitting outside at my buddy's house. We were inside having band practice when his next door neighbor backed out and smashed into my drivers side door. It was a total mess, and she just took off! I called the cops and she admited to the whole thing. She got charged out the a** with violations. Good thing is her insurance payed for the whole thing...new door skin and paint. Don't worry man, you'll get it all situated.

trans87

What color was your car? Looks like an awesome blue.

91Zman

Damn! Sorry to hear/see of your misfortune and I know what you're going through.6 years ago I lost my '83 sport coupe to a redlight runner.

Ovrclck350

You don't have to accept anything they offer you. Show them receipts for your car and tell them you want a car EXACTLY like the one you had....same condition, same wheels, everything. They'll either have to find you one, or keep jacking up the money until you're satisfied.


You never have to accept what they offer you. After all, it's just as if someone is trying to buy your car from you.

CETATornado

Man, that's just awful...I can't imagine how you feel, I'm really sorry to hear that .

You car was beautiful too, I really hope you get appropriate compensation...

freestylzz

I have one for sale you might like it

Rage13

from the pics it don't look that bad, looks very fixable even. it doesn't even look like you got hit in the back..

90firebird

dude, take a look at the huge dent behind/above his wheel well; and the fact that his door probably doesnt line up anymore....

Formula_Fire

I've taken a couple of autobody shop classes (good ones) and judging by that buldge behind the doors the subframe is messed up & with the front end dammage no shop could fix that for under bluebook.

PS its a shame man I'll leave both my bird with the ignition off for a day for your moment of silence

MasterEvilAce

I believe he was talking about the rear end of the car

the poster says how the car hit him, and he plowed into the SUV infront of him

clearly, the car must have hit him from the back for this to happen.

and I was amazed too.. the rear doesn't seem to have ANY damage.. but yeah, the rear well is pretty bad..

91Zman

umm...The front looks fixable but the entire rear end appears to have shifted to the right and forward,the tire is crooked too!The rear may be able to be straightened but who knows what happened to the suspension.

icebird_1981

ya there is something wrong with the front suspension on the pass side it almost has a wable feeling. and sits on a slant to the passanger side. i was also surprised the back was in that good shape there is barley any paint damage. (well lots of those stress marks though) i still dont no what i am going to do with her i am gunna have some people take a look at it and tell me what they think, i might turn it into a project car.
thanks people for careing about my ride. its sad working on something so hard the haveing it taken away from u.

91Zman

Hopefully the damage isn't costly,especially the rear damage.At any rate good luck with it.

Midnight Sun

You both live in toronto...the car looks exactly the same..

Is this some kind of sick joke freestylzz?

icebird_1981

lol no joke man i wish it was though. but no its ok i already bought a camaro. cant live without a thirdgen.

MechCD

You might want to get her for more than the accident.... How can you "slip" twice? She was tryin to kill you! I think I'm half joking, but maybe there is a little more to this than a little oops I smashed into a guy twice.

She had her foot on the gas to get to the stop, she missed the brake, and then missed the brake again, did she ever actually remove her foot from the gas pedal? She should have noticed about 50 feet back that the cars where stopped ahead of her and that she wasn't slowing down. That if she was a "good driver" and followed proper braking

Sorry to hear (and see) about the car. I hope you can somehow get something decent out of this.
