New to GS, long time coming
So 2.5yrs ago I was lex shopping, mainly looking at GS series. Wanted a 400-430, big V8. Found a silver Rod Millen that had been on craigslist for months. Called and set up a meet that weekend, it sold that week. Then drove an LS400 at work and decided on a game change. Found a 99 on CL and flew to Idaho to pick it up from ZERO_one. I was working on building the ls when...
It got eaten by a construction zone. I was driving through a construction zone that they had shaved the road down about 2-3in. Speed limit was 40 so i was going 40-45 ish. Then all of the sudden a there was a man hole sticking up at the normal height. With no time to react I hit it dead on, the car jump into the air and then landed with the CHECK ENGINE, VSC and TRACTION all flashing. Within a minute I could smell oil so I dipped onto a side street, blew a stop sign and started down a small hill. As I started down the hill i heard something fall out from the rear of the car so I put it into N and started to coast. I came to a parking lot for an OIL CAN HENRYS, as I pulled in the engine started to grind so i shut the car off and coasted in.... I delt with the CITY OF VANCOUVER, LakeSide Construction Company for over a month and they just kept asking for more pics of the car and outside damage. So I claimed it on my Ins and they totaled it out.
This is where I stand today....
