wrecked my VIII

Well I went for a ride up the mighty mt lemon and about 9 miles up i went into a wide right turn that hairpined at the end. People that know of mt lemon will know it as the seven cataracts. Right before the hairpin I felt the car understeering a bit so I taped on the brakes which i guess was more than a tap. the wheels locked up and I slamed the guard rail. Dont know what the speed was but the guard rail held and me and my wife were alright thats all I cared about. Its in the bodyshop with good hands on her so Im confident shell come out better than she was before the wreck. Thank you in advance to justin at vanderpools autobody. Fromwrx2evo will post some pics in a bit.

Cory,

Sorry to hear that, I rushed to the shop this morning while you were at work so that I could assest the damage first hand. I was there with the owner of the shop which happen to be a friend of mine.

I have been calling a few people and places to easy out and speed up the process of getting your car fix. Me and Ray are working on perhaps finding you much cheaper parts in town.

The more it cost to repair it the more it reflect on your premium but as I said before, me and Ray have a plan about getting you some parts much much cheaper.

In reality you car could be fully driveable with a new ACD reservoir and a new rim, everything else is cosmethic crap.

Cory, one more thing, I have a plan B, I talked to Sergeant Mccabe and he could also fix your car for much much less. Remember you would have to come out with the deductible and never forget that you would have to pay more on your premium from now on. Just consider fixing your car with the help of your friends.

Best of luck and allow me a few minutes to download the pictures I took this morning.

Your friend Carlos

Yeah Cory, when I talked to you this morning you sound OK but when I talked to you in the afternoon while you were at the hospital you did not sound that well.

I know how to cure that though, I have some Jack Daniels at home
