Off the road into a big ol electrical box with high voltage :) Thank God I had the drivers side window rolled up....you can see some high voltage cable bounced off of it. Sparks were pretty.

My condolences to Oprah.
I'm glad you are okay. Close call with the wires!!! The BIG MAN had your back.
Good luck with the "Farm".
wow, that fuckin' sucks, man. :unhappy:
my dad swirved to avoid an accident last night and ended up puttin' his car into a sidewall.
I hope you're ok, sarge!
now tell us the truth, how fast were you going?
She lit em up and got out from under me....so not all that fast....150 burn out marks the cops measured :) I couldnt shut her down for some reason...I'm OK....cut my had trying to get the key off :) Dont have a clue what I cut it on....no biggie...she is insured for $150K....dont think we came close to that....they'll fix her up and we may do a few more mods while the body shop folks have her.....shit happens....I'm lucky I had that window up or my ass would be DEAD.
so what happen? you were doing a burnout and you lost control because the accelerator got stuck?Quote:

No....She just went WOT and I couldnt shut her down....We are going to read the logs this morning.....It wasnt a mechanical throttle issue.....it just revved to redline and I was off to the races :)Quote:

I see that the Headlight Armor really is armor (gotta git me some of them) and from the looks of the damage, you should'nt be without her for too long.
I think it will buff right out :)
does LS1 GTO have throttle cable or is it the same POS like in LS2?
Cable...I have a 402 Stroker motor with a Nick Williams TB....it didnt stick...I had just rolled up my window and turned on the AC and she just took off...so it was a "software" issue....we'll find out...
Holy shit! :eek:
Glad you're ok Sarge. Now, sit back, relax, sip some of your finest and praise the Big Guy above for being a GTO lover and letting you know it wasn't your time... :yup:
I believe that your shoot-out with ED will have to be pushed back...
Damn Sarge, that really sucks! Glad your ok, thats the main thing.
Damn that's scary Sarge!:Ohno: Just glad to hear you're alright.
That's a shame of what happened.:brick2: Hopefully you can diagnose what the hell happened so it'll never happen again.
So now are you gonna trick out the body as a "wild tiger"?? :hmm:
Good luck on the rebirth.
:goodluck:
"software issue"...can you snap a pic of your adjuster's face when you tell him that one! :lol:
wow that sucks!
Just met him at the body shop....fricking kid...like 25-30 old....he just kept saying "yes sir" and signed off on replacing anything that needed replacing with the parts that were on her when she crashed....good kid....but no...because I had a Police report there wasnt much he could say...no drinkinig drugs or racing...he called the accident a engine malfuntion officially...Quote:

Who the cop or the adjuster? Just clarifying.Quote:

That was 2 years ago, Insurance for me and the old lady is outta this world.
thanks kids!!!
hey where the hell are those big titted red heads? :lol: ah screw it ill try to find some
hard to find em not showin their wahoo lol here's a few, NWS!
:nono: Can't change a non NWS thread to a NWS thread.
Sarge is bullshitting us. He knows he really wanted a new paint job and rims for the GTO but lady sarge said hell no. So he decided putting oprah into the fence was the only way to get what he wanted.
j/k!
Oprah needs a face lift!!! Glad your okay man...

Yall quit trying to post dirty pics....
I guess that AC button was really a Nitrous button? I think someone needs to make a help Sarge feel better NWS thread and put up those big titted red heads!!!
sarge crashed it so he wouldn't have to go up against ED in PINKS
:hide:
j/k sorry to see what happened at least it wasnt your fault i've been in a similar situation in the rain and there was no engine malfunction...
you must have done somebody some good, God had your back
shit like this makes you wonder and live everyday differently, like the time the passenger side of my vert was a foot off the ground and i was perpendicular to the road..
But thats a different story for another day :)
i'm the 25 year old kid state farm fucked in the ass :cry:Quote:

i think id be taking the cruise control cable off in the future, thats the only thing id think could cause it from an electronics standpoint.
Sarge I have to ask, Where you "sipping the finest" when this took place.
^:lmao:
No, he said a big ol electrical box just jumped out in front of him.Quote:

Oh no problem man :)
Living in a very small community I have heard it all today...
Sarge had to be cut out of his car it was so bad.
Sarge had to be pulled out of a great big ditch by two wreckers.
Sarge was drunk off his ass racing around in the dayum loud ass GTO.
But the best phone call I got today was from the Electric Co Op folks...
" Hi Mr. Sarge?" " This is Brian down at the Co Op...did we do something to really piss you off?"
HAhahahaha....made my day.....
State Farm got tagged with $2500 to repair the electrical box.....
You might want to get yourself a big 'ol jug of lube ready. They might stick it to you when you renew your policy.
Been with em 25 years and I am a liscesned agent in Texas and Georgia :)
I'm the golden arches of insurance customers...average a claim on my homes or cars once every ten years.....they aint gonna say shit.
Bummer about the car, but very glad you were not hurt.
yep, what everyone else said. But, no ghey flame job like Diph said, paint her fat and blacker again.
Christ Sarge, that's some bad news mate. Good to hear you're still in one piece. As for the Goat, it's nothing a little polish wont fix.
I sleep with a big tittied red head. Maybe knowing that might help you feel better...? :titslap: :itsok:
You lucky bastard, wish I had a big tittied redhead right about now. It's been a week without some ass and I'm getting cranky. Glad your allright Sarge, if the Viet Cong couldn't touch you then a damn power pole sure couldn't.
Glad you're OK Mr Sarge, but you know as well as I that that's part of playin. We've all done it, at least once:brick:
Holy crap, poor GTO!!!! Yea I have St Farm & they are usually pretty good! You will get it all fixed up again & back on the road!
Let me tell you my experience with state farm; I had them for all our insurances for 17 years, then in 1997 I got 2 tickets in 2 months and they dropped me ? so fuk them
thats why old peope should not be behind the wheel of fast cars, lol
j/k man, just heard about it that sucks glad your ok
Thanks Boner... :)
Well we suspect it was the cruise control module....we found it fried....still trying to figure out what cooked it....
Dam that is some crazy stuff! Hope you find out what caused it & get it back on the road!
hey maybe you can get them to fix that hole in the trunk too...lol

Sorta hard to hide it :) Unless your deaf...and blind...but then Helen Keller could feel the ground shaking so nevermind...
Ahh, another happy customer of a quality Aussie built motor car... :aussie: :hide:Quote:
