I had an accident last week involving my precious ss and a median wall that divides the highway. Heading home from work at 3am i hydroplaned on the road from really bad thunder storm, I lost complete control of my car, did pretty much everything I could to get it straighten out but in the water, and my tires being worn out on the back i losted completely... im posting pictures for people to see, and comment on a y ideas of what will happen next here, im pretty sure this will be a total loss, and it hurts to know that ill never be able to drive my baby anymore... any comments regarding on any repairs would ve apreciated since i have no idea whats gonna happen next, im still waiting on bodyshop to call me..

That may not be a total loss in my opinion. Depending on how good frame looks.

OK2DRUL · 02-23-2014, 08:48 PM

Looks like a total loss to me. Did the airbags deploy, you can't really tell from your pictures? Looks like the frame is bent from the impact on the bumper bar up front. It could be salvageable you never know.

Cully77 · 02-23-2014, 08:48 PM

:( glad you're ok

I'm sorry bout your car, but thank God you are ok. It looks like a total loss. The appraisal of your car will be turned into your insurance. Afterwords they will either cut you a check for the value of the car, or if you have a lien they may send it to the lienholder. If you owe more than the value of the car then that's where GAP will come into play.

If it is not a loss they will pay for the repairs, minus your deductible which you will pay to the repair shop.

Ouch! I know that breaks your heart. Glad your good. Good luck on the claim. I know it takes away from the road performance but I installed General G-Max All Season on my SS. Seems to significantly out perform the Pirellis 6 months of the year. I live in Missouri.

dgriddick · 02-23-2014, 08:51 PM

Is the frame bent... This may be fixed.. you may have to pay out of pocket to keep her on the road..

AWSME SS · 02-23-2014, 08:53 PM

It can be fixed.

HerRide · 02-23-2014, 08:53 PM

Ohhh I'm so sorry. I hydroplaned once when I was younger and learned my lesson. Scariest thing ever!! Glad you are ok!

Shift_Rejected · 02-23-2014, 08:54 PM

Looks like the airbags didn't deploy which would certainly help keep it alive.

Glad your ok!

AnUnarmedMan · 02-23-2014, 08:55 PM

That sucks bro. Find out what insurance says. If its a loss make sure you get your mods off

Serge627 · 02-23-2014, 08:55 PM

I bet they fix it. Think positive!!

Blu Ray · 02-23-2014, 08:56 PM

Not Totaled

Cheveey57 · 02-23-2014, 09:15 PM

Easy fix. Hopefully the damn bags didn't pop.
