So the smartest guy I have ever seen in my life decides at the very last second, 'Hey, I don't want to go into manhattan, let me turn from the third lane to the right, totally skip one lane of complete traffic, and go into another lane where there might be a car going straight, all while doing a sudden sharp turn at maybe 50 miles an hour without signaling.... yea that'll work out for me, I have to get to the bronx'..... My heart broke! There was nothing I could do. It was either hit this guy with my front end, or take it on the side. I decided to brace myself, looked at my left lane, no car, so I went there and he totally F'd my passenger side, and wheels,axles, etc. I could have gone crazy like he did and moved to lanes two my left, but traffic was flowing so I didn't want to take the chance of hitting another car not involved in this genius' move. Here are the pics :( I left it at the chevy dealership so hopefully they can do the right thing for me, order some new parts, and put my baby back to new (with all my heart I pray). Oh yea get this... when I asked the guy... "so what happened, u didn't look at your left mirror when u decided to cut three lanes", his reply was... "what can I say, I F'd up". Wish me luck guys ... my heart hurts.

Dude... ur rims are fu$ked .

That what I was thinking, everytime a Camaro gets involved in a crash the driver walks away saying the car did it's job.

id get the dealer to over estimate and order you the other wheels, well id try atleast.
Sorry to hear that....that really sucks but atleast your ok. I hope your baby comes back just like new.
kudos to you for not killing the other guy, i think i wouldve been in jail.

manchimp · 07-20-2009, 05:55 PM

Sorry this happened to you too. I hope it works out OK for you. Good luck with the insurance battles!

Get to the Dr and get checked out. You may feel fine, and still have serious injuries. No Joke.
