Where you turning left or crossing a road when you got hit?

Hendu · 02-27-2012, 06:42 AM

Sorry to see this happen to any car. Glad you were alright. Luckily it was the passenger side and not driver, did you have anyone with you?

OP can't or shouldn't give details on a public forum.

Count your blessings....and to think most of us spend time worrying about getting a parking lot dink. Sorry to see this but glad everyone is ok physically. Hopefully the insurance companies are on top of getting you back into your next pride and joy!

That was a hell of a hit at that speed but the Camaro held up very well!! Hope things get settled up quickly with your insurance and you find yourself back on the road soon. Glad you are safe.

Ya but it's a dodge ram

Sorry about that.... but at least it took care of you in during the accident! As many wrecks as I've seen in my life/career....the photos of the Gen5 Camaros after accidents are amazing. Especially when you consider that the majority of the passengers crawl out unscathed. Don't think I'd personally want to test it, but glad these cars are built so well. Makes my future purchase even more enticing!

Glad you are ok.

45thAnniversary2SS · 02-27-2012, 09:34 AM

OUCH! Hope everything works out in your favor.

Russell James · 02-27-2012, 09:37 AM

First, glad your OK.

There is a couple visibility lessons here. Chrysler sucks for not mandating daytime running lights and auto headlights on all their vehicles. Whenever I see a vehicle coming at me hardly visible at dusk, most often a Chrysler product. The other thing is the silver color. Blends in nice with the fog.

With snow and fog so common in my area, you will never see me own a white or silver car.

Get back in another one soon, as you're entitled to have one on the truck drivers insurance, if you ask me

+1 on that. it irritates me to no end seeing all the jackasses running around at dusk with just their parking light on. I mean, WTF, are they trying to save electricity or what.

blackswan · 02-27-2012, 11:02 AM

Why slam the guy's choice of color? Kick'n'm while he's down, no? Come on guys, we can do better than that.

Glad you're OK and I'll say it: "Coulda been a lot worse."

Don't be surprised if they ins co. doesn't total it, they are doing that less and less these days. That doesn't mean you shouldn't fight for it - and consider hiring an independent adjuster.
