Re: Ouch, my poor Z28
[ QUOTE ]
I let my son take the Z28 for a ride last night to go get his girlfriend. He was driving on a street downtown that doesn't have protected left hand turns. Some young girl in a Chevy Cobolt turned in front of him and BANG. [/ QUOTE ] what is a "protected" left hand turn? a left turn arrow for the clueless that can't tell when it is ok to turn? ie no traffic? or is it one of those angled lanes especially for left turns? I sure hope SHE got a ticket for failure to yield right of way ... as stated above, sheet metal doesn't bleed (only $$$), fortunately everyone was ok Now comes the grueling task of dealing with insurance companies.

Re: Ouch, my poor Z28
This street downtown only has green lights, no left turn arrow or left turn lane. Being a young driver, she was used to turning left with a green light thinking the oncomming traffic would stop.
The Austin police don't ticket after an accident, I asked them to do it, but they refused. The girl admitted to turning in front of him and two witnesses stated that both directions had a green light and she should have yielded. If she has minimum limits, it won't cover the damage.

So sorry to hear that Tim. Glad everyone is ok though. Don't post a pic, I don't think my stomach can take it.

Re: Ouch, my poor Z28
Thanks for posting guys. You all got a double dose of nausea for Monday morning. If the car is totaled, I don’t have an interest in the salvage, if not I’ll probably take the money and sell the car as is. I would hope that it will be repaired and put on the road again, I just don’t have an interest in doing that.
That's my son filling in the information for the report. He feels horrible even though he wasn't at fault.
