The Dead and The Reincarnation

Gents,

Thought I would like to share with you all a completely damaged Maui Blue 2002 G20 that I had the previlege of owning 8 months ago. This is what it looks like:

And here is the frontal shot:

After the roll-over, the crossbar on the windshield buckled and the uni-body frame twisted.

As you can see the frame above the door was also buckled. As a result, the door was unable to fully and securely close. The tires came off the wheels because it hit the bottom of a hill as it rotated 180 degrees and slid into it creating a buckling effect causing the car to tip over the hill.

I was fortunate enough to have the car write off and the insurance company replaced me with another G20. I asked for the Maui Blue colour from the dealer but they said that was the last one available in Ontario, Canada. So I decided to chose another limited availability colour, the Titanium KR4. I tend to like this colour better.

The fact that it was a big lesson learned from the accident, I also now taking care of this car with great care and pride. All I can say is, the G20 rocks! Cheers to you all and drive safe!

Nice..............at least your getting what you've paid into insurance

Umm, looks like it held up pretty well for a roll. You wouldn't happen to know what junk yard it went to?

J,

I did what I could with the car in terms of scooping whatever I can from it before handing over the ownership to the insurance company. I took all the flashing and parking lights, a jack, all the mats, and the trunk net. I was going to take the front lip with the fog light as well but it was quite damaged! Anyhow, I do not know where they tow the baby to. I should have asked the guy when he was towing it out of the dealer.

The car does handle the roll very well. It save my ass for sure. But the roll wasn't that hard of an impact for the airbags, both side and front, to open. It was still in tact!

Believe it or not but my insurance coverage will not increase!! This is where I was very lucky! In the end, I drove the car for 4 months, put on 13000 clicks and walked away without losing any $$$, well other than my tint job on the car!!!.

:flash: Love those rims......does anybody know how much those rims cost at the dealership......or where can I get some.......

[atomic-G]

When I bought my 99 G - I wanted to get the 2002 rims on my ride, but they told me it "wouldn't pay off", because I had hoped they would buy the 99 stock wheels off me - but they weren't interested, so I said fak em! Best bet is to go to the dealership and inquiry.

Had I knew you're interested in the 2002 G20 rims, I would have stripped those off the Maui Blue one! Oh well....anyone need a cd changer library? I have an extra one

I believe the dealerships sell those rims for the same price as aftermarket 17/18's
