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
This was taken last thursday

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

WOW that sucks! If the accident didn't take out the old lady (and it was 100% her fault) I would really be tempted at that time to do it myself.

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?

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.

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

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.
