sorry to hear about your accident and car. hopefully nobody has serious injuries. if you do need a lawyer, pm me. i almost would've gotten t-boned a few weeks ago as a lady ran a red light, but i always wait 2 seconds before going when at a stop light, luckily my almost worn out brakes stopped me and i saw the car run the red light from my peripheral vision.

I just wanted to thank everyone that wishes me well,at this point its just a waiting game from the claim adjuster. I've looked at some Few F's online and would love to have another. I actually looked at a USB 08 with 80k, not bad shape at all. However, my wife is not on the same page as I am. She's still traumatize from the accident, although she wasn't with me in the car. I called her from the car after the impact, I couldn't get out of the vehicle, and she was telling that she was afraid to see me mangled. She doesn't want me to get a high performance car, so I have to hold off on the F. I know this is just temporary, eventually she'll get over with it. Its just the matter of time until I get back here. I might just get a bucket for now and wait for the supra...who knows. If the insurance let me take some parts, ill definitely part out. I do have some parts OEM parts in my garage, just keep on eye in the classified section. Till then, ill come check out here from time to time...

Holy crap Chris! Just read this, glad to hear you're alright. Gotta love those idiot drivers out there that aren't paying attention and just doing their own thing. Going to miss going out on the track with you again, but you'll get back out there soon enough I know!
I'm glad you're ok. Cars can be replaced, people can't.

Chris asked if there were any shots of his car in the times we've gotten together. I know he's still reeling from this and it is an absolute bummer that this had to happen. We always kept saying we'd hit up the track again, and while weather has been downright unpredictable to start the year, those plans were still intact until this incident took place. I'm just glad you're safe, bud! Getting one last run with this F with some of SoCal's finest F's was a nice final memory with your Mercury Metallic. I'm hoping the wife isn't discouraged for too long, though I can see her side of things.
Here are a few shots with your F, Chris. Track-powered, accident-tested....and you've come out of it alive and well. The car did its job, even though it looks bad in the end. Keep recovering and we'll be back hitting the track someday soon, regardless if you get an F or not.

^^^ thanks for the pics brothersss, JUST TO UPDATE: i can't believe the insurance wants my car to the body shop for tear down, so i have this week to see what the body shop tells me. I thought they would automatically totaled it... I'm also waiting for the clearance on the aftermarket parts, to part out. So far, the visual/preliminary cost damage is about $16k, but who knows what else is damage behind it. For the mean time, i have some few part out on the classified section. I "might" get another F, so stay tuned....

First of all, sorry to see your car in this shape but glad you're ok.
Moving on, do you have a police report of this? Where did they make the U-turn......
Plus one on the dashcam, I have one as well.
