Get another SC430 ; when a red light runner totaled my mom's CRV and she walked away okay, she went and got another one without hesitation:
05 PB - 36.5k miles - $36k

06 PB - 85.6k miles - $25k

08 PB - 12k miles -

09 PB - 30.5k miles - $37k

Some are priced high but if you need test drivers on the ones near DFW, scdroptop and I can help

You are a good man for stopping. I am sorry to hear about the car but glad you are ok. Make sure to take the others advice and get checked out.

Here is to finding a new baby!! Good Luck and happy hunting!

In other words, because life is inherently unfair, those who help others are doomed to suffer as a result of their being helpful.

Since your road hazard emergency flashers were on, did you find out why the driver who collided with your vehicle, did so?
You should write children's books.

a good deed gone wrong.
we all feel for you and 430.
the upside: you are one luck son-of-a-gun.
good to hear you are not bitter over
being a battered good sumaritan.

kairsersea1 has good advise -- get a complete physical checkup.

I was rear ended by a nice apologetic woman.
I went to a chiropractor, but didn't have my soar neck MRI-ed
a couple of years later, major neck problems started happening.

Glad you're okay!!!

If you get a chance to go when they're open...would love to see how our SC stacks up against a hit like that...so more photos are necessary.

Also what type of vehicle was it that hit you and approximately what speed?

I got hit by a 2002 Ford Ranger@ about 40 per the guy. I think he was going faster.. Here is a pick of my baby.

Edit: Sorry first picture is me drunk at a party...

That's about as mangled as I've seen an SC. Glad you weren't in it at the time? Who did the cops hold responsible?

Him. I was in the left lane with flashers on. He dropped his drink and bent down to pick it up.

At least there's that. It would have sucked to get a ticket on top of everything else. Gotta feel bad for the dude that hit you though. Bad luck on his part too.
