crashed the SS Friday
I was on my way to work yesterday morning around 5:30 am and was listening to the police scanner as usually and I hear of a head on 2 car collision on the south by-pass. Thats the road I was on so I start lookin for the wreck. It was still dark and was raining pretty good. I went a couple miles and was going around 50 mph trying to figure out where the accident was. I was approaching a red light and it was green and about the time a go through it I found the wreck alright couldnt see the cars till I was right up on them. Its a 4 lane highway and both cars took up my 2 lanes. I jerked it to the right hard as a could and locked it down barely missing the 2 wrecked cars. I almost saved it but beacause of the wet payment it slid to far and my left front wheel nailed a side walk curb. Crazy thing was the way it hit on the wheel probally prevented my car from flipping. I jump out of my car and check on the other 2 cars, one guy was okay the other had to be taken to the hospital as a precaution. The idiots were sitting in their cars the whole time. Stayed there until the cops come. About 5 minutes later here comes an 18 wheeler doesnt see them either and slides through the intersection barely missing both cars. It was impossiable to see the wrecked cars till you were right up on them. If I had not heard of the wreck on my scanner there is no doubt I would have hit the cars and someone might have been killed. I was not hurt at all thank God. But the pisser is when I called my State Farm insurance they say it will be my insurance that will pay. Its a 1 car accident for me because their wreck already happened. That really sucks !!!!! I did good to miss those cars but in wrecking my car I have to pay. I think the other people insurance should pay since their wreck caused me to wreck but they dont look it that way. It knocked my wheel back against the fender not sure what in all is damaged, wrecker had to haul it off. Just hope the frame is not damaged. Could have been much worse, made me sick but I am alive and not hurt so all is good.

Silver- 2000 Camaro SS
I had a close call in the rain this past wed. I was driving home from work on drag radials. I knew I had to take it easy...40 in a 55. Rear end still hydroplaned and I ended up doing a 180 sliding accross opposite lane and down a slight embankment. I was very lucky as the car got dirty and I was stuck in the mud. No damage

Black- 2001 Camaro SS
Wow thats weird. One of my buddys told me about somebody he knew who wrecked his Camaro SS on Peachtree PWKY(in GA) on friday. I first thought it might have been you but he told me he was going to part out his car and I think his crash was a little more serious.

damn man, I'm glad you came out unhurt. I hate to see or hear of wrecks. I hope your insurance company gets their stuff together. They better have you taken care of. It would probably cost them a lot more if you had hit those people. Physical injuries + more damage to the vehicles and double that because it was 2 people and 2 vehicles.

It was a tough weekend for F-Body drivers in the Atlanta area. On Sunday afternoon around 3:00 pm I was driving down Johnson Ferry Road on my way back home and saw a 2000ish Trans Am sitting on the curb facing the other direction. I couldn't see any physical damage, but one of the two front wheels was hanging in the air off of the edge of the curb.....there were several people standing outside of the car and I presume they were waiting for a tow truck to get it off of the curb.
Glad to hear that you're OK and that the car made it out of the ordeal relatively well....hopefully insurance will take care of you!

Good to hear you aren't hurt. Yea, like two weeks ago there was a pair of SS's that had wrecked with each other street racing. One was upside down and the other'f fender was in the driver's cockpit. Just sad.
