So as you may have seen I was looking for a "new" car to replace my daily.
I went and looked and drove the 07 infinity g35. Very nice handling car. Equipped and colored exactly like what I want, so I got it.
6 days later after spending a whole night with a girl I'm trying to hook up with, I send her back with the mutual friends thats helping out. Driving home just enjoying the open interstate at the speed limit, I get side swipped by a brand new camaro at 150mph because hes running from the cops.
Luckly, he was far enough away all he does is leaves a crease down the side of my car and gave me mirror delete. He was caught a few miles later after his motor or trans blew, and a foot pursuit.
Crappy, it took an hour for the cops to respond. My car HAD a clean carfax. It has metallic paint that will not beable to be reduplicated.  _________________ 2008 GMC Z71

Damn! He blew the motor and trans in a new Camaro?!?! He must have been running balls out for quite a while!
Any paint can be duplicated, it just might cost a bit.  _________________ '86 Trans Am - 5.0L TPI - LT1 cam - 700R4 - WS6

Thats what the cops said. He blew one or the other, they werent sure. But said it smoked, then quit.
Ive seen all sorts of mixed cops in my life. But these were very fun and entertaining. One of them bounced the kids head off the trunk of his car when he didnt obey. Then told the tow truck driver to slam the car up against a guard rail, he didnt care. |

Holy hell! Glad you're okay. That's nuts! Did you opt for the 6spd/leather/brembo package? _________________

Whats the colour code, honestly unless its a custom colour metallics are not hard to match. Just get a good painter. _________________ 1987 - Trans am GTA, hooker headers, Borla catback, Cat delete, CAI, 9.6 @ 75mph 1/8mile

Travis, It will be the camaros insurance assuming he had some which the police think he did. I was the 3rd hit-run of the night for that guy.
Ian, no I got the base model. Its 5sp auto/leather/unknown and needs to be replaced, rotors are warped.
Whiskey, I think they call it platinum graphite? I cant find an rpo tag/paint tag on this car. But I also havent looked that hard. |

Wow.... you should feel lucky he didn't rear end you.
You know what's really funny, though? Apparently a Ford Crown Vic has a better engine/trans then the new Camaro. |

| Try two dodge chargers. One with a mangled front end from when he decided to try and back into the cop. |
