After 10 days, she saved my life.

Traded in my 2000 WS6 with 100000 miles for a 2010 Camaro.

After 10 days of owning the CGM 2SS/RS, while driving into work at 1130pm, i was struck by a mass transit bus, that was making an illegal left turn, while traveling at 40-50 mph. I was able to self-extricate myself from the car with assistance of some bystanders. I sustained a fractured right arm, and severe trauma fractures in my right foot. along with minor cuts and bruises. I was fully restrained. I Will be having a 4+ hour surgery on Monday at the Hospital at the University of Pennsylvania in Philadelphia.

Currently unable to walk due to both breaks being on my right side. Cant use crutches. I will be laid up and unable to work for approx 8-12 weeks. I feel terrible for putting the stresses on my parents for having to take back in and nurse their 30 year old son back to health for 3-4 months.

The 2SS/RS was hit by the front drivers corner of the bus in the area of the drivers side wheel, after an avoidance maneuver. The bus then struck another vehicle waiting at the light in the last picture, you can see it.

THANK YOU CHEVY AND THE CAMARO ENGINEERING TEAM.... YOU SAVED MY LIFE.
