Another Blue Third Gen Smashed
This happened a couple hours ago.
A kid pulled out in front of me making a left out of a parking lot. He admitted it was his fault to the cops he also got a ticket. At least were both O.K.
I sure hope they don't try to total it out. Otherwise I'm gonna get really pissed.

Gag! I can't see any pictures, but perhaps it's better that way.
I am really sorry to hear about your ride man, I hope it is fixable.
That's it! I think I am going to hide my car somewhere!

Sweet ride, I think you will be able to fix her and I dont think the insurance co. will total it. Looks bad from the pics, however does not look major by no means. 1500 to 2000 grand? I think they will fix it, if not raise a royal **** storm.

The damage does'nt seem to bad. no major frame damage. I'm not sure about the hood though it has a couple cracks in it.
All I Know is it's Miller time tonight(or Bud).

That really blows, man. I hope you can get it fixed.
This post reminds me. There's a Maui Blue Formula 350 at the P&P in Pasadena. It was hit in the side but it's very repairable. They won't sell it though.

It does look like a pretty easy fix. make sure you have all of your reciepts for the kid's ins. co. when they look at it. With a fistful of invoices, they should only have the option to fix it. BTW, what kind/size of wheels are those? They look killer.

On monday I'll be getting some estimates. I'm gonna bring it to the guy that painted it and a few other high dollar places in town.
I looked at the hood a little closer today. It looks like underside of the hood seperated from the top side in a few places. The top side has a few cracks in it. I'd rather not have this one fixed.
The rims are American Racing 16x8 I don't think they make them any more.

Do you have any before pics. I want to see what that hood looks like with that nose. Thats possibly a option for another thirdgen...
Sorry to hear about the car man, at least the hood looks salvagable!

Well I finally got the word on my car. The insurance is gonna give me enough to fix it. I pretty happy about that. But there's one problem I've been thinking about buying a Fourth Gen T/A or Formula and that money would make a good down payment. If I have my car fixed I've been thinking of haveing the whole car repainted another color. You guys have any suggestions????
Thanks
Frank
