i just picked up my baby from the body shop and they did one hell of a good job. 14k worth of new 1/4 panel, top, tail light, bumper, control arms and paint. it drives like nothing ever happend and i am very lucky cause i have heard some nasty stories from people saying that thier cars didnt drive the same after impacts that werent even as bad as mine was. the only thing that is different is its a little scary taken corners now cause its still in the back of my head how it felt doing 360s into a sign at 80mph. but i know one thing, that was a wake up call to me not to keep pushing the s to the limit like that all the time. now i feel i need to just take it slow and respect the S.

 

Congrats and be carefull this time around .

 

yeah really tell me about, talk about a sick feeling when u see ur dream car that u can barely afford drive off on a flat bed, and u know its all ur fault.

but thank you i will do this.

 

Make sure you have good tires on it!

 

My years of driving older tail happy corvettes prepared me for driving the S. Sharkbite, enjoy that reincarnated baby of yours and be careful.

 

the tires were new i just caught some sand right when vtec kicked in while drifting onto an on ramp. like i said dumb! this is the first time i have ever lost it, but i dont think there was much i could have done to save it.

well i take that back, if i was on a track like i should have been, this would have never happend.

 

thanks i will, i have had a few trans am's back when i was a little younger, but the s is a lot different from them big heavy bodies. im still learning the way of the s.

 

80mph for a 90' corner? u better kidding me....too scary man

 

no it wasnt a 90' maybe more like 45' somewhere around there, its a fast and twisty off ramp on ramp here in wichita and right where the on ramp meets the other freeway there in a hump on the corner of the turn. the hump, sand and vtec hit all at once when i was sliding around the on ramp bend. and im sure by the time i hit the sign i had slowed down quite a bit, i did about 3-4 360s with the wheel turned all the way to the right before i hit.
