Did somebody at least have a waffle for me, that is what I am bummed about the most.

RS_Man · 09-03-2011, 12:29 AM

Idk what you were bummed about more Kyle, your car or the waffle lol. Mom offered to make you some of hers, just hit me up and we can send some your way. Its not much but hopefully makes you feel a little better about your car :( I hope you feel better and you get good news from the dealership either this weekend or early next week about what was damaged and what is gonna get fixed asap. Hopefully they will get her back to you soon and we'll be cruising again.

Any idea of the extent of the damage yet? When will you know what the fate of your ride is? What happened to the tranny? was that your shutter noise?

IROCanSS · 09-03-2011, 10:14 AM

New rear tires getting mounted thursday... Kyle was my motivation. The used tires I bought had a "slight" blemish I didn't know about. I had them mounted anyhow and just said the heck with it but in light of the latest incident, figured it should be replaced, esp with a baby on the way, the way I drive it and my track day next Friday...

From TSGMP:

Tonight was supposed to be a cruise night, meet up with some camaro friends for dinner and maybe get a little work done. It ended up with Evelyn on a roll back and her left bleeding at the dealer.

So the story.

LadyinBlue and RSMan meet me at the house and we planned on cruising south to meet up with some others at Ihop for dinner and some club work. As the interstate has some major construction we decided to take some back roads and miss all the traffic. We got on the road no problems, as we were cruising up to a sharp left hand turn, all of a sudden I felt the car give me a weird shudder, as I was entering the turn I let off the gas and decided to coast thru it to a safe spot as the turn is a blind turn due to grass, well the front of the car turned, the rear of the car didn't. Aprox speed at this point is 30-35mph as the turn is really sharp. The rear of the car slides out to the right, catches the gravel shoulder. I then tried to correct it but no luck, the car the spun to the left, the rear tire got traction and I went forward off a 4-5 foot embankment. It hit HARD. Really hard. Luckily I hit the drop straight on and I believe that keep the car from rolling over. After I came to a stop, I noticed a no tire pressure in right rear message, no idea when it came on but it was on as soon as I stopped, could of been on before I entered the corner.

After I figured out what happened. I decided to drive through the field up onto the driveway to get back on the road and went aprox half mile up to the road to get out of the corner and clear a tunnel to a safe place to pull over.

Thank God Zach and Lisa were behind me, they pulled over and helped me survey the damage. Front fascia is in pieces, front cross member has huge dents, left front tire has grass stuck in the bead, left rear tire is totallt deflated, the inside bead is intact, the outside bed is broken. Grass is stuck to just about everything under the car, scratches and what not down both sides and oil is flowing from under the car.

I call GM Roadside, after answering about 15 minutes of automated questions, they connect me to a live person, who asks me all the same questions. They then told me they would send me a tow truck, I asked to make sure it was a flatbed, she said she would make sure since that is what I wanted, told me the tow company would call me in a couple minutes. About five minutes later get a call from the tow company asking location, I doubled checked that it was a flat bed, and they gave me an guess of about an hour.

Now we sit and wait, and of course take pictures. An Hour and four minutes later the tow truck pulls up, pretty good guess on time. First thing he does is compliment the car then tell me how he like the Challangers better. Thanks that is exactly what I needed. He gets me loaded up and asks to take a picture. Some more salt in the wound. So we get on the road, and he asks all kinds of questions about the car and such, we finally get to the dealership and he offloaded the car with out any problems. While off loading noticed a ton of oil on his roll back. Not a good sign. Left the key in the drop box and in big letters put do not move car till you call me, it has a busted oil pan, hopefully they catch it before they do more damage to her.

I purchased the Roadside Tire and Wheel Hazard Insurance at the time I bought my car. I expect them to cover the cost of repair as the damage was done by a tire failure. I will keep this updated on what happens and what they say is broken and such.

Here are the pictures, I will post more as they get sent to me. It is pic heavy.

WadeWilson · 09-03-2011, 11:28 AM

I saw that thread yesterday.

GC-Camaro · 09-03-2011, 11:55 AM

That sucks! Glad everyone is ok.

Thanks for the full story Jr.

RS_Man · 09-03-2011, 12:03 PM

Here are the rest of the pics from that thread, they show where he went off the road and some more of the damage to the car...

Here are the pictures that I took of everything tonight.

Here's the curve where he lost control, and some pics of the ruts he left in the grass.

masterwinning · 09-03-2011, 01:23 PM

Evelyn is at the dealership, spoke with the service advisor this morning, he was going to have the tow company come back out to move it inside and get it up on a rack as they can't start it due to busted oil pan and with wheels going directions wheels shouldn't they don't want to push it. My insurance company said they will send out an adjuster tuesday morning, I need to get my rental car, I am going to make them give me a Camaro or Vette, that is only fair right? So I wont know anything until tuesday morning. I am going to try to meet with my insurance adjuster while they go over and hopefully get to see it on a rack. More pictures will follow if I due.

IROCanSS · 09-03-2011, 01:55 PM

They don't have wheel dollies at the dealership? You can get them at harbor freight!
