Damm Jim.  Did you come out of the little S curve and decided to see if she could still do the 0 - 60 MPH in 5 sec flat?

Glad you're OK though. Maybe some to the peeps leftover from the HC trip will want to have an early dinner after the local ride if that pushes through and we could get all together.  You can cry in my beer.

Don't think I haven't noticed!  It'll be as late as Thurs of next week before I find out if insurance totals my car.  Until then, I don't want to torture myself shopping.

So... is that oil on the top of the smashed curb? 

Not quite sure what it was.  Waiting for the shop to perform an autopsy on the victim.

If you need a C5 oil pan, I do have one available  waytogo  Glad to hear you are ok, I have been sideways and backwards too many time to count in ours, mostly try to limit the damage to pylons and my ego.  Get healed up, and I know a body shop that does excellent corvette glass work.

Thanks for the offer.  I think it's more serious than cosmetic damage (obvious if fluids came out).  In fact, the first shop (who I hold in high regard), took a look at it on Friday.  They told me it was more than they were capable of taking on because there is probable engine damage.  They suggested getting it into a Chevy dealership so they can adequately tear it down, and possibly to pull engine to fully expose all damage for the adjuster to see.  I spent most of the day on the phone setting the stage for the adjuster to go take a look at the car (sometime between Monday and Thursday - sounds like the cable guy schedule).  I'm expecting repair costs to be so high as to result in it being totaled.  Undecided

Wholy Mholy Jim!  I need to pay more attention to threads that don't sound interesting.  Sorry about pestering you with the phone and PMs bow down

Take care of yourself man, Bon's torso did'nt hurt right away, so give it some time and heal up.  More rental cars parking around Ducs in the neighborhood.

This only proves the old axiom that the most critical phase of Civil Aviation is the landing.

Glad you're okay.

I'm thinking an Astin Martin Vanquish might make a good replacement car.
