I figured I'd post this over here too:
I was on hwy 73 a few weeks ago by the port arthur library, cruise set at 70mph when the car just started swerving and I saw my rear wheel pass me, I went sideways throught the grass center divider at 60-70mph then the car shot straight across the highway and t-boned a goose neck traior then did another 360 on the highway and finally came to a stop in the outside lane, Im ok but the car is gone, frame is twisted to ****.







Think it got twisted?



If anyone is intrested Im selling the motor, fully built trans circle d stall, computer and wiring harness for $4500.

The plan is to replace it with something nicer, Ive been throwing around quite a few cars: c5 z06, c6, trailblazer ss, challenger rt, 2010 camaro ss, or maybe even a srt 10 ram or srt8 300, but an reallying wanting the c6

 

Rear wheel passed you? What the heck happened? Why'd the rear wheel come off? Glad your OK, sorry to see your baby in pieces.

 

the studs broke

 

Wow! I just checked out a thread about your car or something like a week ago, that suck man. O.o

 

Aw, that ain't bad! A little hammer work, a little bondo and she'll be good as new!

Sorry about the car - glad to hear that you're okay.

 

I like how far the intake cleaner is off the throttle body. Dang that sucks.
WTF find of studs were in it?

 

That's a total bummer. What a beautiful car.

 

WOW, how did the studs sheer off. I never saw that happen unless the wheel wasn't bolted on tight enough. Well at least your alive.It's great to have you here.

 

yeah that sux been seein alot of 4th gens getting wrecked lately, hell a kid round here got an ss about 3 months ago, totaled it withing 2 weeks of owning it, replaced it with a Z28 that he then totaled within a few days of ur wreck...they are droping like flies lol...

 

Man, that sucks... Glad to hear you're ok though. That had to be scary as hell to lose a wheel going 70mph.

 

get the C6!! Is that your lucky wheel on the front of the flatbed?

 

wow! that's terrible! I'd either swap that drivetrain into a 3rd gen or put the money I get from it towards a 5th gen... the C6 would be very tempting though. I've also toyed with the idea of putting an LS1 in a Solstice or Sky too though... that'd be a fun little car :-)

 

One word: GEO!!!

And a lot of chassis support.

 

What a shame!

 

i would never put an LS1 in a Geo... talk about degrading a perfect motor...
sucks to see another camaro down. glad ur ok.. i would kill to get an 01 ss

 

yep thats the wheel. I picked up a beater to drive while I part out the car, a 2000 civic paid $1700


I'm probably gonna trade it to a buddy of mine for a 2000 GT, my car +$3500.This one:


and in a few months buy another buddies 2000 H/C/n2o camaro, the white one



the GT would be my daily and I would build the hell out of the camaro

 

The only time I have heard of that happening is when the lugs are put on hand tight and then the cars is lowered so the lugs can be torqued with out the tires wanting to rotate but the torquing of the lugs never happens due to some distraction.

Yes, I had a 77 cordova in the early 80's and the same thing happened to me.
Except it was the front tire, I watched as it passed up my car, hit a house shot straight up the side of the house about 40 feet, came down , hit the home owners car and dented the roof.

I stopped the car in the drive way of the house it hit, jacked up the car, put the wheel on using one lug from the other wheels and got it home.
F'ed up the fender when it came off.

The back wheel coming off as yours did will send the car into a spin. You are lucky you did not get killed or someone else.

 

Good choices. Better to have a couple cars rather than one. If one breaks down you have another to choose from. All these cars are good deals. Good luck

 

ahhh that sucks!
i LOVE those late 4th gen SS's.
the only reasons im not planning on buying one is because of insurance and they look like a B**** to work on.
it makes me so sad to see those LS1 camaros being wrecked.
theyre so d*** fast.

 

I think 4th gens are uuugglllyyy but its sad to see one go like this Im glad your all right. Anyway just wanted to throw my opinion out there...2010 CAMARO! In black with all the extras and white stripes
