Glad to hear you are recovering. Always listen to your doctor, back issues stay with you forever. I know, I've been through back surgery. Always remeber, the car can be replaced, you can"t.

Glad to hear that youre going to be ok. From the looks of that car Id say that youre lucky to be alive! Id say that the fact that you are still alive after a wreck like that is a true testament to the folks at Oshawa, and the engineers at Team Camaro! That might be a good selling point to your girl, and her parents. You might not have survived the crash driving another type of vehicle.

Glad to hear you're ok - Sorry about the car, but life is far better than material things. Best wishes for a speedy and healthy recovery to you -
Back in 2007 I sneezed so hard while exiting the highway, I blacked out and swiped the guardrail and came to a stop......I could feel it, but wasn't aware what was going on. My hands pulled the car into the rail and the car came to a stop. What a freaky feeling "coming back" and realizing you are parked against a guardrail, not moving. |

sounds more like an inexperienced driver to me... too much power and couldn't handle it - got squirrely and WHAM into a pole/tree...
hope your recovery goes well man, you got lucky... |

It would appear you were going very fast, but people have to remember that the car is made to crumple in an accident so it takes the inertia instead of your body. Glad to hear your ok. Also, to the people who say inexperienced driver, they obviously havent driven one. They are very easy to drive and its not like the car just gets out from under you. I've driven 4 and I never had a problem, and i would definately consider myself inexperienced when it comes to driving high power cars.

Yea imagine if that was the car I just sold. An 84 RX7 with no airbag. Would of been toast in a crash like that. Makes me kinda feel better for getting rid of it as much as I loved it.

Sorry to hear about your loss, but glad you made it out alive.. How did they remove you out of the car.. Threw the window or did they have to cut you out?

Glad to see you that you survived through it. That car is an absolute mess and I think the only thing salvageable is probably the valve caps on the rear tires.
Where there any skid marks at the scene? |

I truly feel for you brother. I had a 71 Nova that ended up looking very much like yours..whereas i broke my back as well..actually compressed the vertibrae together in an accordian fracture. that was 9 years ago. I still take meds for it..itll be a long tedious recovery for you. but with caring people and a computer youll be fully entertained for the duration..i wish to god i had the internet when i got hurt..just basic cable actually made me a little crazy..flamdang!!!!! ahhh hmmm.. i mean glad to see your safe..dont feel bad i typed in w.v. camaro on google when i got mine..said a guy totaled his too the very day he bought his the very day they went on sale..youll get another one and be as happy as ever..especially with the vicodin youll be scarfing down while driving it..LOL..feel better pal..if you need anything or someone to talk to just ask.
