Top Toy is Dead
 

Today marked the end of an era for me. Out for a breakfast cruise with a ZR-1 buddy on a cool, beautiful morning and lost it in 3rd gear coming onto a 4 lane. Broken collar bone and hip. Glass imbedded in my head. Car is toast. Totalled.🥺. Feeling blessed to be able to write about it.

I always said they would bury me in that car. Almost got my wish today. Going to miss that car.[emoji17]Attachment 10631Attachment 10632

You are right feeling Blessed and lucky.
As bad as it was, certainly could have been worse.
You will be in my prayers for a complete and speedy recovery.
Rest and recover.
We often forget that these toys we care so much about can do things like this.
Always drive like your life depends on it.
It does.
Again, you are in our thoughts and prayers.
:cheers:

Wow- what I shame. I'm glad you are going to be okay.

Thanks everybody! Yes, cold tires on a cold concrete road with extra HP were a bad cocktail. Happened so fast I have no recollection of the details. But thank goodness the 26 year old air bag worked like it was supposed to. The high frame rails also saved me. Slid into a tree sideways on the drivers' side. EMS said it caved in my door 18". Wish there were a way to strip the unobtainium parts and drive train before it goes to the crusher. Tow truck operator said he'd never seen a such a clean wreck when he looked at the bottom side. Be careful out there gents!

Thank God you are still alive.

When I purchased my 18" Nitro street drag radials I am almost certain there is a warning/disclosure about not driving on the street under a certain ambient temperature.

You can always get another car.

Get well soon!

468whp is a lot on the street.

Maybe your car will be auctioned off. Seems to have quite a few good parts left.

Count your blessings, glad you can write about it. When going to cars and coffee yesterday morning it was 39 degrees and I could feel the tires were not so sticky. Heal up and the next one will be as good or better.
