well today was a very scary day for me. as many might know up north it was very icey this morning. i was on my way to work and hit some severe black ice. i ended up fishtailing and being shot across the 2 lanes. upon crossing the far left lane i was t-boned by a tractor-trailor going about 60mph into my driverside of the ZR2. somehow i really didnt get hurt. the truck driver, cop and ambulance workers were shocked that i came away pretty much ok. the truck driver thought that i was dead by the way my truck reacted and how it looked after i finaly came to a stop. maybe it was an act of god, but i consider myself very lucky. my truck is basically destroyed. tommorrow i find out confirmation if it is totalled, but i cant see how it wont be. so as of right now the Z06 will be on hold. i was finally supposed to go out and put money on this 01 this weekend that i have been talkin to a dealer about. im sure i will still have one by summer though. i just hope i get a decent amount from the insurance if it is totalled. i need to get another truck, so ill prob get another ZR2. im thinking i can get one w/o cuttin into my Z06 fund that much. so while it sux that i cant get a vette right now, and that my truck that i loved is probably lost…atleast im alive and not really hurt. well i guess im gonna start lookin online for ZR2s now, so if u know of any in the area hit me up. ---

> [@Bravada 442](#): > > Glad your okay… You’re one of the few that does take jokes seriously and actually jokes back :love: > > How much do you think youll get for the zr2? > > What year was it, miles, etc…? thanks. it was a 99 pewter GMC. it had 140000 highway, but youd never know it. aside from a few small rock chips is was is near excellent cond. very clean. so on kbb i saw private party was still $8500 for it. retail was like 11. so i guess we’ll see. im hoping to get a decent amount. 8-9 would be nice. but i dont know if the condition it was in will even matter to help me get what i want out of it. i’ll post up the amount when i find it. yeah, aaron i was thinkin about that too. i guess it depends on what i find. but either way, i dont think im gonna be diggin in my z06 fund too much, cause thats been my goal to get one and i was basically there. so i dont want this to stop me from gettin one.
