Rolled my 2001 Trans Am at 40mph. (NOW WITH PICS!!!)


Recommended Posts

And walked away. You heard right folks. The red Trans Am WS.6 that sat for 8 months for a cam upgrage, is no more. Gonna try to get my engine from the insurance company, so I can atleast have my Trex back as a souvenir. BTW, rolling at 40 sucks ass. Someone was looking out for me. Pics coming soon.

well, last time I looked at the speedo, it was at 40 and pulling. I went over a slight bump on a back country road, back end bounced, and that was all she wrote. most of the speed was bled off by sliding. till I slid into the cornfield and the tires caught. Then I went airborne. rolled atleast twice that I could count. jumped the 4-5ft tall cornstalks completly. Gotta huge not on my head and seatbelt burn. Lesson WELL!!!! learned. Stupidity sucks folks. I advise you to reconsider some of your driving and racing habits. I know I have.

Glad to hear you are ok and that hopefully you have walked away with knowledge. Some people aren't as lucky to get a 2nd chance. I know many have passed by not being safe out there, including a personal friend that was racing on a back road and hit a deer at over 135mph.

You may want this down for insurance purposes. And dont mention any engine upgrades, buy the car back, W/o the engine let me know how much you want, I am very interested.

 

As for the life, be very thankful, glad to not see an obituary on here.

On a tender note, glad to hear you're ok, man. I'd buy you a beer if I were twenty-one. smile.gif

I wasn't planning on saying anything mean, but because of this post... graemlins/trout.gif

There's a reason F-body's have good crash ratings; I think you figured it out!

 

But seriously, 140+ on a back country road, come on now. I did 130 once in my Formula on a back road I 100% knew was empty and had driven that road many times (no bumps/dips), and still backed off because I didn't feel it was safe.

 

Be very thankful you walked away.
