Default Zac's LS1 goes down

Well I have been out of the loop for a while due to personal reasons. I pulled out of work on Tuesday night onto US highway 19 and Spun the car around and hit a 75 year old man in an Explorer. Totaled his car and 8600.00 in damge to mine. Could this suck any more? Dimmit is going to have my car for 2 weeks. Does anyone know how the loss in value insurance works?

How exactly did you spin out? Going to fast on a wet street? Blown tire? What happened?

Stall Convertors and the rain do not mix. I pulled out normal. Got a little spin and like a dumb-ass----- Over Corrected the vehicle. Oh, and I got a ticket for right of way.

Yep.

That would fall under the headding of too fast for conditions. I have a TCI Streetfighter in mine and I have a problem with it breaking loose on wet streets some times. Live and learn kid.

Sucks to have so many things go wrong at once. I have heard that bad things come in 3's so hopefully its the end of your problems for a while.

This sounds very similar when i wrecked my mom's 97 z28 and we took it to maher. HORROR STORY resulted from their massacre of this car. Fuck Maher, they said it would take 2 weeks and 9k in damage, but what he really meant was 7 months and 12k in damage.

Zac this sucks!

They will total the car at between 70 and 80% of car value. You can find this in nada.com or kelly blue book. Dif Co's do it slightly different!
