Look what i did today...

Well, today was pretty nice out, and i got the urge to take the camaro out rather then the bike...
Me and my lady friend were haveing a grand ol' day, that all decided to come to a hault when we decided to come home.
We were doing about 90 on a straight road, nobody around or anything like that on this road, when it occured to me i was about ready to miss the turn we had to make, so i decided to break and slide into it (didnt intend the slideing part) and we slid a good 20 feet off of the road we were turning off of and onto the road we were trying to go onto and slid off into the grass, and up on a guide wire connected to a power pole.
We were pretty damn luckey i guess, nobody was hurt but my baby is pretty messed up.
Aparently this type of thing doesnt usualy happen so pretty much everyone (cops, paramedics, onlookers, fire people) were all takeing pictures, it was a funny sight to see a cop get out of his car with his cell phone and take pictures.
I was issued a citation for unsafe driveing for $209 and since i work for a garage i didnt need any towing services i handled that on my own.
All in all it was a pretty eventful day, the car is still fine and in running order but the pront spoiler is gone, front bumper, drivers side fender, radiator support, header pannel, and a few other small things are screwed, minor set backs lol.
Im probably forgetting something so if anyone has any questions feel free to ask, pictures pretty much explain themselfs so ill get to posting them.
Ill put them in order:

wow dude.. thats tough.. nice wheels though, but damn still.. I cant believe those lines were able to hold up all that weight. Anyway hope you can find all you need for cheap.. time to goto the junkyard.

:eek2:

haha wow, how did you get out of that thing?! lol

man, i'm really sorry that happened but that's the funniest picture i've seen

That is insane...

I jus had a "holy shit" moment in the middle of the library

i'm very disappointed in you.

Explain to me how you got UP THERE, I understand the sliding onto the grass, and then into a guide line, what's that? And how the hell did you get up there?

Yeah, i understand the ocasional laughs... looking back at that first picture i laugh now also...
As to the question of how i got out.. it still didnt hit me after it happened that we were in the air a good 5 feet so i basicly just turned it off (it was still running, good ol' chevys...) told the lady not to move and opened the door and got ready to step out thinking earth was still going to be under my feet and literaly fell out not expecting it.
The front end is pretty obviously messed up, back end is alright, rear spoiler is cracked and all scratched up, and the brand new borla tailpipes are all bent up... i guess i can buy just the "tips" somewhere, although they are welded on, ill start worrying about that later though

That is a good question, HOW did you get out of there? If you opend the doors how heavy are they, really? :lol2:

wow

i bet your "lady friend" crapped her pants.

how did the pole not snap in half? you can see it bending

I am not disappointed I am impressed...lol
However that still sucks. Glad everyone is ok

wow.. just WOW, how the hell did you do that

BTW you had to know this was coming

Thats an awesome pic

Lol at the picture...
That picture is actually going to be in the local paper here tomorrow.. the local news team was there and i was takeing pictures and they were also takeing pictures, and got something very similar to that. Ill have to actually get a paper tomorrow now i guess

same exact thing happened to my buddy with his WS6

Man that really sucks, and thank God you are ok.... BUT, I would have crapped my pants from laughing at seeing a car go up on a guide wire, a door opening and someone going to get out and falling out! You are gonna look on back at this and piss yourself laughing in a couple omnths when you car is fixed, etc.

It could have turned out a lot worse.

same exact thing happened to my buddy with his WS6
really? thats crazy. it seems like it would break that cable or the car would be a little off center and slide off or flip over.

you would think so lol but nope....rode the thing right up like that.

Didnt think those cables would be able to hold up so much weight especially becuase if you walk up to them you can shake em around alot.

What was the speed limit there? It looks like a neighborhood...

Thats KRAZY!!!!!!!!!!
Thats like a 1 in a million chance youd end up like that!!!!!
Anyway is there really anything big that got damaged in the car besides the body?
Good ol Camaro was still running.....now thats loyalty, she still wanted to go........
Thank God that thing didnt decide to role off that wire.....now that would have been terrible..........oh and expensive to fix

You are lucky as hell. You had to be going pretty fast to get the thing to stand up on it's tail like that and if you wouldn't have put the guide right in the middle of your car you probably would have done a nice barrel roll through the air. I've seen it happen, and it's probably the coolest and the scariest thing I've ever seen, the car did about three rolls in the air and the telephone pole crashed down in middle of the road.

Well, i have a bit of a sad update...
Im pretty sure im going to give up on the ol' rs... i just got a new tranny put in it witch set me back a good $1,800, and some other small things that have been bugging me finally got fixed and i decided to take it out and now its pretty much totaled...
Its "fixable" but i think im done sinking money into it. The subframe is bent beyond belief, the rear quarter panels are both bent up and all messed up, i think the car actually rode up the guide wire further, and came back down to the ground and slammed into the back end and casued the quarter panels to buckle in, also some other small stuff is messed up i didint notice yesterday also.
Im now looking for an 86 iroc, going to take the borla exhaust off, the new tranny and definalty take out the motor becuase it only had 73k on it...
Hopefully the junk or scrap yard can give me a couple hundred for her after takeing off what else i might be able to part out.
Anyone looking for some parts off of a 92 rs?

How much for your driver's door handle..

How much for your driver's door handle..
five dolla....lol

damn im sorry but thats one hell of a funny pic. thats so nuts, was it a smooth ride up?

sucks that its totaled but its good tshat your alright

yeah that could have been so much worse

LOL.. ahh man wow you got lucky you didnt tip over.. a crazy sight though..

five dolla....lol

hmmm, I bid a buck $2.99. :lol:

Seriously, is the car black, and if so where?

What kind of trans and are you keeping it?

Holy crap dude. You know what, I say bravo. You are able to laugh now at something you did that messed up your baby a little but I am sure your aware it could be alot worse and damn that is something to tell the next 10 generations about.

lol..i only just looked at this thread. i thought it was a photoshopped picture for a second. thats uh...thats one for the records there man. sorry to hear

strangely enough ive seen that exact same thing happen to a taurus, i thought there was no way in hell those cables could hold up a car until i saw it floating like that.

....dear sweet zombie jesus, high tention wires are not your friend! and camaros do not make good vertical climbers
