Thumbs up Crumple Zones.

Looking at the pics, I'm glad Carlos came out of it just fine. Those crumple zones realy absorbed alot of the energy like it was designed to. But still, you really are lucky you had an angel watching over you. Not to mention a great wife to boot. Good luck on your search for a replacement.
Best wishes from your CL bretheren from the West Coast.

Damn that sux , glad ur ok. It's totalled for sure. Also in NYC I don't think the insurance companies allow u to buy back the car once the "claim" (you) is paid. Best bet would be to try and take off what extras u can before the adjuster looks at the car, and replace them with stock pieces. They rarely give u extra $ for your extras. BTW if u have progressive insurance company, let me know I have a contact in a high position, in nyc, that may be able to help work something out. When I had my wreck, he got me top dollar, and then let me take off my extras and keep them. Wish u da best

Damn Johnny! Why did you have to say that!!! It's bad enough Carlos can't get any sleep looking for a new GS. Now he's going to spend every waking moment thinking about JP stuff.

QUOTE "they let you buy back. we have too many experts here". I wasn't sure, That's why I clearly stated "I don't THINK u can buy it back". I am not an expert, just simply tryin' to help this guy out. Didn't know u would take offence to this Unless of course u meant u know poeple as well .Either way, good luck G soup.............. and please put me on the parts list, lol
