He hasn't posted because he's pretty shook up about the whole thing and needs some time to sort things out. He'll be back in action, don't worry

, he just needs some time to get everything straightened out. Thanks for all the kind words guys...this is CEG at it's best.

What kind of insurance does WI have? At fault!?

Sorry Josh! Glad youre OK bud.

I'm sorry Josh.

I'm glad to hear that everyone was OK.
Take it easy and get some rest.

Bummer.

Glad to hear that everyone is okay. Don't know how bad your car is, but I personally know Contours can be fixed.

OMG Condolences x2.

Sorry to hear man, glad everyone is in good form.

All your positive wishes are greatly appreciated, special thanks to Kyle...you're a hell of a freind and i'm glad to have someone like you around.

Unfortunatly the accident was a momentary lapse of judgement\concentration on my part
and it is(most deffinetly) my fault. The car is a total loss as the entire passanger side is pushed in at least a foot. I had only liability coverage, so the car will be strupped, cut apart and disposed of within a week or two so i can start recouping some of my losses.

I thank god everyone is ok(relatively speaking) as there were minor injories, but nothing life threatening or requiring surgery.

I won't be on for a couple days as i focus of taking care of everything on my end and making sure everyone else is taken care of. The SVT will be re-assembled ahead of schedule without many of it's intended upgrades as i will now be forced to drive it daily for the year.

If anyone has anything they might want off the car please let me know at Pole120@hotmail.com and i'll try and work with you to get what you need.

Once again i appreciate all the well wishes.

~Josh

just glad everyone walked away.

No problem mang, just helpin a best friend out.

Like it was said, just glad you guys walked away.

Man I'm so sorry to hear about that; I'm glad everyone's ok. When you're done stripping the car, can we 'splode it or something?

Damn mang, that blows hardcore.

At least noone was hurt seriously.

How about.....$1 a hit with a sledghammer.

I'll give you 5 to write "2 wicked" down the side

Josh - Sorry to hear about your ride. I know how well you liked it. I'm sure the SVT will be even better. Take care and return soon.

hey.. you guys wanted to do that with the donor Coug I got last year.. LOL

What parts are for sale mang? (yes, I am a vulture and apologize in advance)

Just stopping in for a quick update.

The good:
Everyone is doing as well as can be expected and for that i'm extreemly greatful.

The bad:
The car WILL be totally dismanteled this weekend

, I've had a couple people contact me so far reguarding parts. After this weekend, if you don't tell me you want it it'll be gone so let me know asap at Pole120@hotmail.com

Mods are in my profile. Make me an offer if theres something you're interested in.

Now that i know everyone involved will recover and is being taken care of, i'm finally starting to feel the amount of emotion that my car has caried within itself......

I never thought the day would come that i'ld have to dismantle two years of blood\sweat\tears to hand it over to a scrap yard. It honestly brings a tears to my eyes as i write this just thinking of all the memories and friends that have resulted from my car. I've never imagined something material like this could have such an extreeme impact on my life and current emotional state. This weekend the car that has been a part of many of my lifes highs, lows and firsts will be gone for ever. I keep trying to tell myself what everyone says..."it's just a car" but for me that's like trying to tell myself "it's only two years of your life"....for a long time that car was all i had, just driving her could make an entire bad day disapear.

I remember the day i found her and how excited i was to go home and tell my dad that i had finally found the car i had been searching for for a year, i remember my first mods and taking pictures and washing her every week, i remember meeting my first girlfriend and driving her around Sheboygan and Manitowoc in my "stupid car

". I remember doing a HUGE smokey burnout after i graduated college and remembering how proud of myself i was that day......all of this is rushing back to me all at once and taking it in all at once is overwhelming.

Once again i thank everyone for there coments and prayers,
Josh

RIP Blackout....

thanks Goodness you guys are safe.

I want an OMP strut bar if you have one of those.. not sure how to check your "mod page" on here as I am still a CEG rookie.

OH and a functioning power antenna if your car had that.. I think mine is dead as it never went down properly the day I bought it.

thanks in advance.. also if you need help disassembling I have some power posse people.. we completely dismantled a totalled Cougar of almost every single component in about 3 hours.(granted the engine and tranny were already sitting in another room)

RIP Blackout....

Hey mang, I know exactly how you feel. I remember how much i hurt after i ran my car into a curb being stupid and worrying if it was totalled or not. Read my sig: "A Contour is not just a car, it's and experience" It's true! This car has more meaning to me than i ever thought it would! I've met many friends, and hey, I thought after i graduated high school, that i would probably never talk to you again. Low and behold, there was a sweet lookin black SE Sport sittin down the block and my lil bro's tellin me that it was yours. You even did my first mod on my car

LOL. This car has brought you alot of good times, but every good thing does come to an end at one point or another. I'm sorry it had to happen so soon and disrupt the plans for the "racecar" but I'm just thankful it wasn't worse. Now that project Blackout has come to an end, the good times will forever remain memories in you and your friends minds and in your pictures. Now a new era begins and the good times and memories can begin with the SVT. I can't wait mang.

We need to get you back in a Tour ASAP!! LOL. I'm sorry for your loss, but there's always a positive side to everything...my car is faster than both of yours now

J/k mang...glad to hear you're doing better. Let me know when you're coming up.

R.I.P. Blackout (You know, i was always jealous of that car

)

P.S. Sorry for the really long post

Thanks Kyle i needed the laugh this morning....

I appreciate all the offers to help, but i will be dismantelingthe car myself....I'm sure it's going to be more emotional than last night was, and i really just need to do it alone.

I'm hoping to decomission the car the way i always wanted to....burnout till blowout of some crap tires i have on my SE wheels.....i'm hoping to get video of that so i'll need a cameraman Kyle

I've tried replying to all the PM's reguarding parts, but remember to try e-mailing me first

Chris, my S has an S2000 antenna on it so no power there....if i decide to swap that ono my SVT, i'll have on for ya.

I actually read about that over in pics, its a good thing he's ok but it sure sounds like he was very close to his car and theres nothing wrong with that! Its always good when everyone can walk away and/or is ok after the accident.
