  • Buddy of mine just trashed his '07 Shelby GT500

    Driving down the street in the suburbs of Philly, swerved to avoid hitting a deer and hit a curb. Car went slightly airborne and rolled over trapping him in the driver's seat.

    His wife, in the passenger seat, suffered minor cuts & briuses, but got out of the car safely and called 911. Although his injuries were minor, the fire dept had to cut the car to remove him. Luckily, he too has only a few cuts and bruises. It could have been much worse.

    He bought the car brand new for $52k from a dealership in Ohio. He flew out there to pick it up and drove it home. The night of the accident, it showed less than 2,000 miles on the odometer. It sat in the garage during the winter seasons, never driven in the rain, and it was taken care of Very Well. It was white with blue racing stripes and a black leather interior.

    Both he and his insurance company says it's totaled. No pics, and if you ask me, I don't want to see them anyhow. :(

        I don't know. If I remember, I'll bring it up in a few more weeks. He's still in a state of depression right now...understandably too.

                I also wondered how much his insurance company is going to give him for it. I'll wait a little while before asking because it's still recent and probably killing him inside!

                I talked to a coworker today -who talked to him-, and he mention about getting out of the sports car era because of this. We all know that this kinda thing could have happened with almost any vehicle. So we'll see...

                  this kinda thing tends to do that to a person from what I hear...I know a couple people who got out of this all together because of that...they said it was because they put all this money down and got so attached to the car, then in a blink of an eye it was all gone, and for what?...in the end they lost money, lost the car, and lost what they had to show for...the thought of knowing it could happen again pushed them away from the scene more or less because they didn't want that ****ty feeling again...

                    It sucks that happened but he should count his blessings. The same thing happened to one of my friends (swirved to miss a deer) except he ended up getting in to a head on collision and dying.
