what does 70mph, rain, and a wall get you?

believe me, if he puts up a good enough arguement and provides proof that it indeed did have emotional damage not only to HIM but his family as well. It will definitely fly in court.

What about the emotional distraught your "Mother/SIgnificant other" went through when they got the phoen call that you were rear ended by a semi doing 70mph+ in rain? Even moreso the fact that your car, that youve put time and money into has been damaged beyond repair? Follow Adjusters suggestions and go for the company. At the very minimum make sure your medical bills and the supra is paid for.

Its all about how you present the facts and such.

again man it's all about proving it. i'm sure your right that it would fly but...i'd go with the actual accident before i'd play that card.

Actually it's the getting tagged in the ass by a tractor trailer that causes the emotional damage. I can't think of too many other things that would be more terrifying behind the wheel.

I'll bet trucks scare you now and it's difficult for you to drive near them.

i havent been behind the wheel of a car since the accident. and i cant think of a scarier feeling in the world right now than seeing a concrete wall heading right towards my face, and not being able to control it. it was so out of control and normally i can control these slides. but then again, i usually induce a slide on my own accord, not unexpected, out of no where. very emotionally draining. not to mention the "what could have happened?" shit. like if i had started to roll instead of grinding a wall? yeah, makes me sick sometimes.

I saw the pics of the 240z, such a nice car. But do you have details on the forum of the accident?

Mass: Thanks :)

I saved/recouped about $8000 out of $31000 it cost me to build.....
(remembering this was back in the 80's and that was a LOT of money)

You roll the dice and take your chances, as I said it could have been MUCH worse for Boosted!

Hey man I would be willing to help:1zhelp: . Ill be more then happy to donate body parts from my white car, Just pay for the shipping. Here is what I have left minus the lower core support and the A-pillars that I need. This was the car in my build thread but the back was to bad so I started over with a nice black shell. Just let me know.


As for why i did this after all the work i put into it, I felt that changing over the rear quater panels was alot harder then i thought. I bought the black car a a donor car and just couldnt cut it apart, the body is to nice. The only problem with the black car was a little rust on the window pillar. The shop i work in is gogin to remove the spot welds on the black one and install the outer frame from the white one. I removed all of my stuff that i bought from toyota. I just order all new paint from Eastwood and going to paint the intire shell first this time before doidn all of the other stuff. Sorry for putting this in your thread but i figured people would wonder why i cut up the white car.
:naughty:

When I get home from work I will post some pics of 120 mph semi and a wall in a celica. I think it held up pretty good considering
