Sorry to hear this Micki but thank goodness that you are okay...except for the withdraws. What's going on with poop-on? What are you having done? How long will you be without a Vette?

Vette(s): 1975 C3 Red, T-Tops, Black Interior. All I need is time and money! Getting there!
Wow, that's nasty.
 
Very glad to hear you are okay.
 
About a month ago my minivan got totaled, and they gave me a Ford Focus to drive.   I could not get Debbie in and out of the thing without her having pain.  They they gave me a PT Cruiser.  That worked for us.   Now I have another MiniVan.  the 97 Grand Caravan is gone, but the 98 Grand Caravan is here.

[QUOTE=sundevil74]Ouch!!!  Cry   Now THAT is some serious damage.  Hard to believe that a retread would cause all of that damage, but when the rubber meets the plastic . . . .  Sorry to hear you are without a Vette, Mick.  Hang in there, 'cause this, too, shall pass.  (pssst . . . stay away from them 18-wheelers!!  Bad fer yer health.)[/QUOTE]
 
I do, if I can......man, I hate to be near them 18-Wheelers cuz they throw rocks and now I know they throw RETREADS too! DeadOuch  I saw another vette at the body shop....a Z06 that some guy ran off the road because he lost control.  You should of seen that one.  I'm just glad it didn't loose control and run off the road, it would of been worse.

[QUOTE=Norsky]Sorry to hear about the misfortune Micki.  My daughter had the same thing happen with her '94 Honda Prelude.  It is just about as low to the ground as a C5 so know your pain.
 
Glad there were no people injuries (other than strained vocal cords!).

Thanks for all the kind words ya all!  Hug  It could have been worse and hey, it's gonna be like I'm getting a "New Vette" when it gets outta the shop.  I'm having them touch up a couple of spots from rocks too.  Now I can't afford to buy a new vette..........LOLLOLLOL

Yikes Ms Micki!  Sorry to see that happen, but we're glad you're ok.  Plus, like you said, now you'll get that "New Vette" look, you'll just have to wait for it Cry


I wanted a Corvette my whole life, but I never dreamed of all the wonderful people I would meet because of it!

Hey since da cats outta da bag now I'll throw out another suggestion. Take a look at puttin the Tiger Shark front and rear facia back on Otis. It will make him stand out and is definately WAY KEWL!!!!! (IMO)Especially if the insurance company is payin for it.
