Yes, but not with the Camaro. You didn't specify so I had to break 'em a little.
Some idiot ran into the back of me while I was in the PT Cruiser. And in the PT's defense, it took a nice hit from a 80's. Bronco and survived without a scratch.

That would amount to a ban on people with no common sense.

Knock on wood--haven't had an accident in almost 14 years. And that one was a dumb one: turned left as I pulled forward out of a parking spot at WallyWorld at 5:30 in the morning; center punched a concrete post that was obscured by the A-pillar. Didn't deploy airbags, and still driveable, but over $2000 to repair. Wife still tells me to watch for concrete!

Yep, the wife was following some knucklehead pulling a trailer and a dang cooler blew out of it and tore up the front cowling! Had to pull him over and get his insurance! I've told her before to not follow people pulling trailers or trucks with a lot of stuff in the back of the bed! I think she gets it now! Lols!
Put that pedal down honey,and get around em!!!

Mine was three weeks old when she was hit, I was stopped at a redlight and the bickering couple behind me decided not to. 3K in repairs and didnt lose a rear light even - he was wreckered off. Still waiting for my deductible...

1st=2010 Synergy Green v6 m6

3rd=2012 2lt A6 Convertible

Number two was going to be the death of me or somebody else. I was twice over 140 and I'm the Idiot who's always LOOKING for the Mustang at the Light. :( So I knew it was time to go back to a V6. For me racing a v6 is like tossing rocks at a F16 < just a waste of time and rocks. <<

Not an accident but my girl has taken a couple of hits. Bought mine in July this year, August it was hit with $9k in hail damage. Repaired but not well, still fighting with body shop over the scratches they left on it. Then 2 weeks ago, while at a theater, some a$$hole ran a knife down the side, got my quote today, $2,500 to repair. Have to fill out a police report before repairs can be done.

Sounds like you got a need for speed. I hope you take better care of your Camaro and yourself. We need you in one piece not multiple like a jigsaw puzzle

Be careful..don't ever mention the word "rocks" cause you might be drivin and get hit by one sooner or later.

Scared to reply because I don't want to jinx myself!

So far, I was a passenger in all accidents I've been in. I've had many close calls, though, some with my Ion were enough to make the nerves shake. I had a guy in a Subaru try to merge into me on the highway a couple weeks ago... I rarely use my horn but really laid it on for that guy. For the most part, people respect my Camaro MUCH more than the Ion - they pulled out in front of the Ion badly.

( so, so hope I didn't jinx myself... )

We just passed a wreck this past Sunday coming back from Cruisin the Coast in Mississippi. A truck hauling furniture like they were moving was on the right side of the road and a mini van sitting on top of a mattress was on the left side of the road. Literally all 4 wheels were off the ground and the mattress was folded in half. The minivan also hit the railing on the overpass so it was pretty messed up. You could see that the truck had the mattress strapped to the top of the cab.

Got mine in July, no accidents, but I haven't had any to begin with in all my years behind the wheel. Never mind accidents, not even a single ticket!
