hate to see that for anyone-- none the less, i didn't think plymouth and farmington was too bad of an intersection (of course, every intersection is bad when people run lights)--- but i live about 5-7 minutes from there, so i'd know-- hope everything works out in your favor, just remember, a totaled car can be forgotten and replaced... a life cannot

Oh man... Such a nice 3L svt
Good to hear that you are ok, now buy it back and find another svt with a blown engine to swap your parts in !
From what I saw lately you can find a nice one for next to nothing !

That sucks man. Looks like it was hit pretty hard. Start planning for the worse . On the other hand, I have a Ranger for sale..

Or if it gets fixed, I have a hood. Your color. Let me know.

you guys consider that totalled? Geez, mine was MUCH worse then that and I was able to fix it myself. I will buy it from you, so I can finally have a SVT.

Dude, that totally sucks. It does look like it's pretty tweaked -- the whole front is skewed towards the driver's side. Man...

Like someone else said -- what's with all the cars getting hit lately? And at least two have been just repaired/rebuilt weeks before! Stupid/careless/reckless people shouldn't drive.

I agree. The front end looks pushed over pretty good. Glad you weren't hurt. It sucks to see these SVT's getting wrecked. I hope the best for ya

It happened today at about 8:15 a.m. (at the intersection of Plymouth and Farmington for the fellow SEMI'ers). I know the pics are crappy but I only had a camera phone with me. I was making a left and a kid ran the red light and hit me . We're both ok, and the airbags didn't go off or anything, but I fear the car is going to be totalled. Fortunately there was a witness (who was behind him right before the accident) who stopped to help me out, and the police ended up making him at fault and gave him a ticket for running a red light.

It's such a shame. I just got the car running again not even 2 months ago after I was without it for roughly 9 months. I had blown the original 2.5L engine and swapped in a 3L with all the goodies, and have barely gotten to enjoy it . I have so many thoughts going through my head, on top of being sad/mad/disappointed/upset/frustrated all at the same time. I almost teared up when I watched my car get towed away severely wounded.

I really really hope it'll get fixed, because I have no idea what I would do. If it gets totalled I might try to buy the car back and at least get the engine and trans out of it. I don't want a new car because I just paid off the CSVT literally 2 weeks ago and don't want more monthly payments. Anyways, I guess it's just time to sit and wait for the insurance to call with the verdict on my car




I know kinda exactly how you are feeling. I had just supercharged my GTi VR6 (www.vf-engineering.com if interested)so it was running 280 at the crank. No more than 3 weeks after I got it running perfectly did I total it.

Only difference? My fault. Still haunts me and it was almost two years ago.
