After having a great weekend after the Jalopy Showdown I had the misfortune of being run over by a truck in N.J. Lucky for me that Derrick Pesco (allstarderrick)And his girlfriend Katie along with John Centracchio (superchargednailhead) were following me and able to assist me.Many thanks to them.
SON of a bitch!!! I was drooling for that car on Saturday. Glad to hear you're ok but what the F@*k!!!!!
Big Box truck,I was in the right lane not sure where he was but it looked like he tried to make the exit frome the center lane.
I feel sick for you my friend. Just came through a similar situation myself and there's not way to even break even no matter what. Even if you get your car back with no way to detect it was ever damaged, they don't pay you for the heartbreak of having your pride and joy hurt in such a way. Sure hope you weren't hurt physically on top of everything else. It was a narrow escape to say the least. Godspeed on getting things back in order................
Doug, I just got your email I am so sorry I hope you are doing ok? I cant belive it.. not to sound rude but man I wanted that car so bad what a shame....Randy
Sorry for your accident, but happy you didn't get hurt. I would figure that 287 would have been way safer to get back to New England rather than the NJ Turnpike, but bad drivers are all over our state.
Man that sucks!!! Like everyone else said, as long as your ok is what really matters. Hope the insurance whit works out in your favor. Todd
Well your sprained neck and bad back caused by the accident can get you some compensation... see a lawyer and a chiropractor.
maybe never saw you or was trying to get a little closer for a good look. good insurance will take care of damage to ride but, not your brain/heart pain.
That sucks man! But it's good that you were not seriously hurt, and had your friends by your side. God speed on the rebuild!
Bugger! Glad you're ok , I would be completely gutted over the car though. Hope you find decent parts to put it right. Has it pulled the roof at all ? .
So sorry for you, I also looked at your car at the showdown, I really thought your car was really cool, But the most important thing is that you were not hurt, Hope it can be repaired.
Doug ,that sucks so bad. we were heading back the same way - - traffic was horrible, couldn't believe how many times we got cut off. Wish you luck man.
Damn, I was just admiring your car in someone's pics from the "Showdown", and getting inspiration for this one we are building for my Dad and Mom. Glad you were not badly hurt and hopefully the 37 can be repaired. Here's the one we are building.
Holy crap that looks ugly! It looks like the trucks wheel went right over the front fender. Glad to hear your alright.
