Yeah It did not click on the airbag when I first looked at it
it would have been worth 9K to part out though

Well guys, they totaled my car. It turned out that they fired my adjuster and that's why I couldn't get ahold of him. My new adjuster said the repair cost was just too much for the car and that they were bound by law to total the car. I guess you can't argue with that.

So, I've offered to buy the wreck b/c I know a few of you guys are interested in buying the car for parts (LGAFF). My wife said that we will be getting another one, but after eating a lot of debt because of this wreck, it might be quite a while before I'm driving a ZR-1 once again.

But I'll still be showing up at a lot of events. But it'll be a while before I can fire up an LT5...

R.I.P. '90 #2212 I barely knew ya...

DJ, consider yourself lucky. I know it doesn't feel that way, but trust me..... You are way better off in the long run.

I agree with Jeff! I feel badly for you though. I hope this car didn't put you in too deep of a hole. Somethings are just better off left for dead sometimes.

I hate to bring this up.....please DJ no disrespect intended.
I have a shopping list, if you are parting out the car...especially as yours is a 90. Keep us informed. Thanks.

Yep as stated it sucks but you will find a better one. Having owned one you know exactly what to look for on a new one.

Well so sorry to hear of the bummer DJ.

Plenty of us around to give you a ride now and then to keep your spirits up till the next one comes around for you.

Give me a call @ 815-344-6688 someday when you are jonesinz about it all and stop out and we will take ya out for a spin in 92 443.

I bet the other locals will all pitch in and do the same till you get another.
