DISASTER! I wrecked my Z!!!
 

After two months in the shop, I finally had my '90 ZR-1 running at full power. I picked up my car this morning, drove it around for 30 minutes and when I was about to drive it home, I decided to take it out on the highway... :mad:

I merged on the highway, gave it some gas and hit a patch of black ice. I lost control and took out a light pole. I was only going maybe 50 miles an hour, but it was enough to break a hole in the clamshell, blow the front driver's side tire out, and completely remove the "fins" behind the tire. :censored:

As far as it looks, it reminds me of the way BBBADZR-1's front clip looked on his old white '94. BUT, 2212 will NOT be parted out! As far as I can tell, the frame's still straight and besides the clamshell and front end, there's very little damage on the car. So this Vette will rise again!

But, in the meantime, this has been one awful day. But the old girl did her job and protected me because I'm perfectly fine. From the looks of it, it could have been a lot worse, so at least I have my health.

As soon as I figure out how to get photos off my phone, I'll post pics of my poor baby.

I hate to hear that you wreaked your car but at least you're here to tell us about it.

Glad to see you are OK....the car can be fixed and you will be up and running soon.

Dan, sorry to hear about your incident. The important thing is you are still hear to tell us about it.

I will say you will probably be better off letting this one go. I have gone through a rash of crap on a 94 that took a hit to the front nose and required 10k in work from the body shop. It still isn't right. Has a horrid vibration in the engine. Post some pictures up and I can give you some more info.
