Yeah, no kidding. Formula PM'ed me saying he has lots of stock parts laying around. The only problem is, I don't know how the insurance company will handle it. And I'm just not in the mood to put it all back together myself. Sure, it would be great feeling after completing the project, but its a project I shouldn't have to undertake in the first place. Plus, there's a lot of little things that I wouldn't know how to go about fixing. Like the cut fuel lines. And I have shit laying there that I don't even know what it goes to. Its like giving me a puzzle without a finished picture to go off of. I hate puzzles too. And I don't want to miss any of the little things, like some of the sensors that might be missing, plus all the hardware I would have to replace. And, since the intake manifold is off, there is a shit-load of debris in the lifter valley. And all that would definately have to be cleaned out. I'll think about it though.

I am willing to bet that the insurance company will cut you a check and say here ya go, then wipe their hands of it. So you will be free to get the parts from where you want. It all depends if you want to go with stock stuff or spend alil more money and get some higher performance stuff.

Well, I got home from class and unexpectedly, the adjusted called. He just left. He took a crap-load of pictures and didn't ask a whole lot of questions. Nice guy though. He said they would get back to me within the next week. I have a feeling its totalled, because the exterior of the car isn't the world's best. I asked him about the buy-back policy and he said it would have to have a salvage title and it would cost me 25% of the value of the car plus the deductible. So, assuming the car is worth $5000, minus the 25% which is $1250 and the deductible, $200, I would wind up getting my car back salvaged and $3550 from insurance. Don't know if that's great for me or not.

o would buy my shit back!!! i love my car too much...if the rs frame wasnt bent i would have got that back, but everyone who seen the pics knew that wasnt going to happen

I really really really want to get the car back in running shape. But looking at everything from an objective 3rd view, if they total it out, I don't think I will buy it back. Don't get me wrong, I f-ing love f-bodies, but financially with my situation as of right now, it would be more impractical to. I need something good on gas anyways for the longer travel to school next fall. The plan was to buy a 3rd vehicle for the distance thing and keep the camaro and just maintain it. But with it in pieces, I might as well cut my loses with it and just get one in 3 years when I graduate. It can be my graduation present. And its a struggle in my mind EVERY SECOND to think of what I'm going to do with every scenario and it literally break my heart to make this decision, but if it happens, I think I'm just going to let it go. But it will be the worst summer ever for me. Nothing to cruise around in that I can be proud of. But its not over, because I haven't received the official decision yet.

Hey Y'all, I haven't been in the forums lately so am just catching up on the news. So sorry Poormillionair2 - theiving people suck. Am sick to my stomach for you. I have had a few things happen around my place that has had me on the defense a bit. I want to just be proactive and not let it all get to me. It's just stuff, It's just stuff, It's just stuff - I keep telling myself, not like losing people or pets. It's my only way to deal and remain cool and rational and not go climb a tower. So, I am looking into some video surveilance options for phase 1. The rest of the phases won't be spoken of ;-) EVER! (lol) A few old computers and some web cams, along with some free software from zdnet TrackIt Now and Informant are two free software possibilities, Don't know if it will really accomplish anything except for being able to watch what happened after the fact. If nothing else I'll have some great video of some jackweed f-ing with my cars to post in the forum. Peace Out - jj

man, i just cant see how someone could steal all of that crap off of ur car in the middle of the night... it would take some time.... who even thinks to do something like that? That's something you do out of spite not for $$

[ZL1power69]

thats kinda what i was thinking. removing all of those parts would take awhile so im surprized that no one heard or saw anything.

[2000LS1Z28]

Wow, that really sucks man. I'm sorry to hear all the bad news. I'd personally hope that they total it, as you won't have a car for a long time if they don't total it. I'd start shopping in the meantime, and see if you can find another Z28 for around the same coin. You may be able to pick up one that was in better condition then yours. You'd be surprised at some of the deals you can get out there.

Keep positive above all things.

Well, they didn't total it. Do I'm in the process of putting it back together. I'm just waiting on the parts to come in, thanks to John (I hope he receives the check soon). I cleaned the heads with brake cleaner today and cleared out some more debris from the lifter valley. I'm waiting to flush it until we are ready to drop the manifold in, that way, it won't be sitting there a chance for more crap to get in there. And I got a couple guys (who I actually went to HS with) from another forum helping me out when I get the parts in. So that's the partial update. Hopefully, then next update will be a completed car.
