7 days having a 06 gto and it got totaled by an old lady
 

The sad story of my friend, last monday he got a 2006 Gto,M6 with 10,000 Miles. He is ok only got a scratch on his finger.

* Been saving money since his first job to get this car
* Had every dollar he needed and bought the car
* last tuesday he drove 600 miles each way to nc, left friday morning
* today i get a text my car is totalled..bad accident, wasnt my fault
* old lady ran a stop sign, he t-boned her, when he hit his car spun and the side of his car smacked her car, airbags went off, battery exploded
* I remember back in high school i would ask him to hang out and he said no man i have to save money to get that car one day...
* Here we are 7 days after he gets his dream and its totaled because we have old people on the roads that shouldnt

hate stories like this... hopefully he will get compensated well for it... at least (from the story) he seems to sound ok... and thats always the main thing... cars are replaceable...

:( <-- all i got to say

It's a car, not irreplacable.

sad story for joe. very upsetting. keep me updated on this matt

Wow :( Sucks.

Sucks that it was taken from him so soon. Hopefully insurance will take care of him and he can find another.

I'LL keep you guys updated on what happens, at least he is ok and he was nice enough last week to let me drive it for 45 mins

That sucks. I hope it works out and his insurance gives him enough for another one.

wow wat luck! thats horrible!

a moment of scilence for a wonderful vehicle*

hopefully things work out for him, it sucks when bad things happen to good people... tell him to keep his head up.. and be thankfull his head still works.

Sorry to hear that, i hope everything works out for him and he is able to get another

That almost made me cry seeing that. Was a beautiful car. Insurance will hook him up and he'll be back on the road in no time I'm sure (with a new car granted). Was the elderly lady ok?

Screw it, I hope her face got wrapped around her steering wheel.

truly a man of the people

I do what I can, she had her moment in the sun, time to cut her cord for this incident

I know someone selling the same exact car with 26k...

Man that really sucks to see this. Glad your friend was ok.

that ****in blows. tell him to step up and get a g8 though :)

Sorry to hear that. Looks like it was a nice car too.

People on the road keep getting worse. I had my truck for 3 weeks and an old lady decided to make a left turn from the center lane. Hadn't even made the first payment on it yet. On a test drive last week in a customers car sitting at a traffic light (red) and some old guy almost plowed straight into me.

It's not just old people tho. I've had a good amount of close calls with younger drivers too, think they own the road and that everyone will yield to them. The license system needs to be revised/updated, stricter testing and retesting every so often. Maybe try to weed out some of the incompetent drivers.

old people :banghead:

nah, anyone can put on a face and pass a test then do whatever they want when they are set free. really need a greater enforcement of traffic laws and a larger police presence. though the economy isn't helping, red light cameras and the like could help the situation. really comes down to the overpopulation of jersey i guess. can't wait for summer :-x

i know in most countries in europe it is about 2500usd to get a liscense. And in germany anything aftermarket on a car has to be registered since the vehicle was not tested with any aftermarket equipment.

that sucks man. but hey it could have been alot worse.
