She's gone...

[AG17CB7]

My cb7 is totaled. happened around 3:30am this morning coming home from downtown. It was pretty clear most of the night but on the way home, it started to mist up alitte. theres a slight curve thats going downhill, i was changing the radio station and when i looked down at the road, i saw something. i didnt want to hit it, so i got in the turning lane, pressing my brakes since i didnt want to hit the curve too fast. the front tires locked and the back end just slid. i was spinning for a good while before i gained control. by the time i did, i was on the other side of the road. i saw the curb but couldnt steer away in time, slammed into it, car kept going and went off into a ditch. i'm guessing when the car was going into the ditch, one of the back tires caught the ledge and it flipped the car on its top. after correcting myself in the car, i opened the door enough to squeeze out.

called 911, cops and fire department came to check me to see if i was okay. nothing but a few little scratches on my left hand i can hardly feel now. after going through that, a few cops were looking down at where my car was, asking me how i got out the car and how lucky i was to be walking as if nothing happened. my dad came the same time the tow truck was pulling my car out. dad told me 'shit happens' while im standing there watching. a female officer comes to me and askes me questions. she then askes me if i was going to church today. i told her i havent been in 5-6 years. she gave me some weird look and told me to go everyday for now on.

this was my first accident. the car's going to be junked. i only have liability coverage so i'm not getting anything back. i don't really see myself going to any meets now. anyway, i'm okay. not sure what my car plans are now since i don't make that much to begin with. i'll figure something out.

[breeziebabyyy]

im glad to know your okay!! I would hate to see if something would happen to you!! As nik said, you'll be back in the game soon enough. Take all your goodies off before they hand it over to a salvage joint!

[blackoutt]

[brownhornet]

Damn. Well, good to know you're okay. Let me know if you need anything. Of course you're always welcome to come hang out with your home boy, meet or not. I responded to your pm before I read this so please disregard.

[92accordbl]

dude gald ur ok..hey even if u dont have a CB u can still come to the meets...Chatt for sure

[loud92CB7]

if ur interested i have a shell???? or it will be a shell in a few weeks i just need the motor and dash...... so if u can take some things out of ur old car u might be able to peice a cb together over summer??? but im glad to hear u alright man.

[Grumpys93]

well that totally blows so did you see what was in the road? Glad to hear you came out ok. Rolling could cause some serious damage

[AG17CB7]

my neck has been killing me all day. i'm going to the yard where they towed her tomorrow to take a few pics and see what i can salvage, if anything. i know the driver side took most of the damage and the roof on the pass. side caved in abit. three of the doors opened and shutted normally but i think most of the glass got busted or cracked. the trunk wouldn't close and the last time i saw it on the tow truck, the back bumper was dragging alittle on the ground. i don't think the motor was in the water but it was upside. any idea to what kind of damage that couldve done? i know everything in the dash on still on since when i climbed out, i went back and turned everything off and took my keys out the car.

as far as meets go, yeah, i could still go to them, but i'll be at the mercy of my folks. since i would be driving their cars and not mine. but yeah, i still want a double bacon cheesburger.

Nooo! my twin! That sucks man. What is your next step?

Yep. It does suck. I loved the color of the paint and interior. That's what i'll miss the most if anything. Well, right now, my plan is to get back on the road before summer's end. My folks have 3 cars and with my sister starting back to school in the fall, i will really have to have one or i'll be the odd man out. I had a guy in chicago offered to sell me his 90 ex for $500. We'll see what happens there since I don't have $500 to spend as of right now. I think the first thing I'm going to do once I get another cb is repaint it the same as my old one. If the interior can be saved in my old one, I'm taking it and saving it for later.

if ur interested i have a shell???? or it will be a shell in a few weeks i just need the motor and dash...... so if u can take some things out of ur old car u might be able to peice a cb together over summer??? but im glad to hear u alright man.

I'm not sure if the motor/trans in my old one can be saved, i'll have to see. If all is good, we'll see. I know I needed a new dash cover since it was cracked between the guages and climate control.

All in all, i don't see myself straying from the cb7. I will stick around and read up on infomation like always and try to learn what i can. my goals are still the same as before, not sure if i mentioned them but it's basically to be one of the quickest cb7's in my city AND state. i learned alot just from going to a couple meets alone. we'll see what happens in a few months.

Here's a couple pics taken a few weeks ago.




My personal favorite.

[90Cb7sleeper]

Well, it seems as tho mis fortune is going around. My dad had a triple-bypass today and i was at the hospital for 10 and a half hours. on the way home my motor drops a valve. I have no money. a half ass f22. and no f22 exhaust manifold parts. i have another h22 head, but i will need a good block.

I just lost it when i saw my dad come out of surgery, all the tubes and large incision in his chest. today has not been good to me.

[AG17CB7]

I went to the tow yard today. She's gone completely. They asked for the title of the car to cover the towing and holding costs. After that, they pretty much said they're going to crush her

Anyway, I managed to take a few more pictures of her. I was good to her and she saved my ass when needed.








Everyone told me someone was looking out for me. I think he left me a sign that he was vvv

I saw this cb only a couple cars down from where mine was vvv


A short vid of her before I left *it was inside a building that didn't have lights so some areas you couldnt see*

^^^ so you cant take anything off it anymore?
