yea, i cross-posted this from the main forum.. mods if ya wanna delete the other thats fine.. but wanted to post it here.
Yea , so today has sucked.. wrecked my GTO.. for those of you familiar with Providence RI, came off 95 S at exit 22-B on to the 6/10 connector must have hydroplaned or something.. rear end started coming around , i corrected.. and caught it , but it bit , and took it around the other way , was too late , ran out of talent/skill , and made pretty good contact with the wall with the left front , and rear .
Damaged parts look to be the driver side wheels and tires are all shot . Left front suspension seems pretty messed up , front and rear bumper covers , lower frame rail in the front ( where the radius rod bushings connect) is all pushed back , and left rear tire is toed out big time , dunno if it bent the hub/wheel/or the rear axle itself..
on the plus side , the car ran the whole time. engine fired right up .. steering wasnt working tho when the flatbed came for it and i was unable to move it ( when i stopped i was facing across the far right lane )
anyway.. since everyone likes pics.... here ya go
As for myself , im no worse for the wear.. slammed my head pretty good on the driver side window and b pillar on impact , but just have a bit of a sore neck right now.
hopfully its not totalled

Not another 04 PBM GTO getting crunched, damn. I hope it can be fixed and that you're OK. I bet your neck and head is a little swollen today. If it is, please seek help, it could get worse and there might be some damage to your neck vertebras. I know from experience how the domino effect works on the neck. I had 3 cracks in my neck after an accident and then after those were "fixed" the rest of the neck joints blew out. Now I'm permanently disabled. The neck is nothing to screw around with. Check the link to see what my neck looks like today. (those things are plates with 4 screws in each one)
Man Tony that car has been nothing but problems. That car along with Anthony's is cursed. Glad your ok. Fixable yes but that cracked MC2 is gone, shame.

WOW, that DOES SUCK!!!!! 10k, holy shit, so just about any accident that crushes the front end or back end will total the 04 GTO's. The car went from 32-34K in 2004 to 10-12K in 2009, that's NOT good!!! Soon the 04's will be worthless to the insurance companies. I won't be around when the car becomes a Classic (25 years), but by the way the GTO's are getting smashed up it might become a collectable, hmmmmm.
Sorry Razor for your loss, is the insurance company giving you a check for 10K? You be better off buying the car back from them and selling the parts.........
I'd be asking the insurance company to buy you the one they found for 10k or give you KBB value.Sounds like they are lowballing you and trying to get out of it as cheap as they can.Mike
Wow Tony I think Chris is right,your car is cursed.Glad to see your ok.
If the car is totaled my friend Danny needs a passenger side mirror.

Sorry to hear they totalled it ....if you buy it back and part it you can most likely make more off of it than 10k plus keep the difference from the insurance check. I'll take both fenders off your hands and the factory shift knob.
