Hey...glad she's okay. It could have been much worse hitting that pole at 50mph. I don't care how many airbags you have....telephone poles are the LAST thing you want to hit in ANY accident. Those things love to rip cars in half....

Yes, 1SS starts at 31k. If she was looking at a vette, she'll be VERY surprised when a fully loaded 2SS/RS comes in at roughly $37k to $39k.

Check around w/ the different dealers to see what you can come up with. Allotments are going quickly. There are many out there who still have allocations, so, I wouldn't accept anything over MSRP... Don't give in for anything over.

Good luck!

Well, you're not going to get any arguments here, as far as getting a Camaro. But you're gonna lose some ability to haul stuff that you did with here car.[/QUOTE]

Glad she's ok.

He's right, I own horses too and I have to keep 2 vehicles. A car for driving and a truck for hauling stuff around and pulling the horse trailer. Unless you plan on getting a nice used suv or pickup or already have one.

B4 you put the proverbial cart b4 the horse are you sure the car is going to be totaled by the insurance company? It looks pretty bad but you know how insurance company's can get these days. Important thing is she is ok...and tell her from 1 horse person to another..those freak things always happen and glad she is ok...Cowgirl up!

That's quite a story. Could any more things possibly have gone wrong all at the same time?

Glad she's ok. That Saturn held up nicely, all things considered. Good to know...

Given the roads you guys drive on, I'd definitely consider the Camaro over the Challenger just because it has onstar.

edog · 04-26-2009, 08:30 PM

Man...That sucks! I hope she is ok.

On a second note...She WOULD NOT be driving the Camaro if it was her fault.

29er · 04-26-2009, 08:33 PM

wow what a story! tell her to keep the windows up in that camaro!!

CharlieNubz · 04-26-2009, 09:18 PM

Wow, glad she's alright...get the Camaro...nuff said...

Jamie Mac · 04-26-2009, 11:09 PM

Glad she's ok. Car looks like it held up "reasonably well" considering. In my drivers ed class a girl drove a Sunbird up a guide wire when she failed to straighten out after a turn. Car didn't get much damage and just rolled onto its side, until they had to drag it out from between the wire and pole. Our teacher put in his retirement papers that day. Yes get her the Camaro but we don't want to see any bad pictures of it.

lafountain · 04-26-2009, 11:18 PM

Glad to hear that she is OK. Have fun with whatever vehicle you decide to get though.

shevyman · 04-26-2009, 11:29 PM

how the **** did she do that. and atleast she walked away.

Badger · 04-27-2009, 12:13 AM

I think maybe...you should buy her a Cement truck...they handle alot smoother in those turns.......

shockandawe · 04-27-2009, 12:16 AM
