SO long, old friend... I miss you already.

[Dattebayo]

I'm gonna let the pictures speak first.

[RCA]

I heard about this...

Do you want to talk about it?

Also that doesn't look like "so long old friend" material...

[Dattebayo]

[dre1507]

cover your old friend's ears. So what's the plan? getting another?

[ADDirishboy]

Dude, that's every body panel on an s12. Sure, it's worth a lot in our eyes, but to an insurance company? It's worth absolutely nothing. If that's not totaled, I'll eat a hat.

[Dattebayo]

Probably. If not, then I might get a Z31 turbo...

But I really want a coupe now. I wanted one originally, so I might just go that route. But it's gonna be a pita to get used to a sub-100hp 4 cylinder when I had a nice v6 for the last three years.

The last pic shows that the unibody is bent downward. This is more than just body panels here, neither the hood nor trunk will open.

That sucks dude.

[Bwana]

That sucks, Dave. You come out okay?

[audtatious]

I hope the guy who hit you is sore from his phone being shoved up his azz

two very nice choices. I'm a bit more biased to the coupe though.

Oh I see, yea never mind.
I figured if you love it so much you would be able to fix it up, but I wasn't aware it was a uni-body. My condolences.

Z31 turbo sounds awesome!

[Dattebayo]

I'm OK. I bumped my head a little when I bounced off the middle guard rail, but the bump is gone and I feel fine. I'm just sore from the three hits now.

It's hard to find one that is nice. I see two hatchbacks for sale near me now, but I will drive up to 4 hours for a nice coupe.

[Chaotic_Warlord]

That sucks, S12's are hard to find up here, especially one's that aren't complete rust buckets. Maybe get a dime and drop an SR or KA-T in it?

[numbnuts240]

s12's are rust buckets up here and you suggest a dime? i find major flaw in your logic.

[HashiriyaS14]

OH NO!

What happened?!??! That sucks. Looks like it got hit from every angle!

I vote for a Z31 turbo or another S13. Or hell, get an MX73 Cressida and be cool like me.


I'm really sorry to hear about this though, this car was a champion. Feels like just yesterday I drove down to VA with you to sell your old Sileighty.

[MellowZ32]

I still can't believe it!
that really sucks
let us know as soon as you buy a new car *Z31*

[DevilMB3017]

Damn man, that was a pretty clean car from what I remember. Good to hear your alright though.

[Dattebayo]

What happened?!??! That sucks. Looks like it got hit from every angle!

Here's the situation:
Some chick at the Frederick MD scenic overlook decided to suddenly enter I-270 north going 40 mph instead of the traffic flow of 70mph. This caused a guy in the right lane to swerve into the left and everyone had to brake hard to avoid his dumb-as$. I was in the left with all those people... me and the guy in front of me stopped without issue but the stupid kid behind me was jabbing away on his celly and slammed into the rear of my S12 at about 50 mph. The hit forced me to bounce off the center guard rail and then tag the car in front of me on the rear quarter panel and push them perpendicular to traffic.

I vote for a Z31 turbo or another S13. Or hell, get an MX73 Cressida and be cool like me.

I will never get another S13 ever again unless it has a ricer repellent mechanism on it.

Well there's always at least one wreck on the way to Carlisle every year, I guess I was just that guy this year.

[Otto.]

Glad you weren't hurt too bad. Sorry about the car.

[jdansmith]

I hate to see a good classic destroyed. Glad you are not hurt bad. I saw a 87 in Charlotte NC Red and looked GREAT and I think it was around $2,200 if you are looking to find another one.

[Dattebayo]

Yeah I do, but I want a COUPE. COUPE COUPE COUPE

NOT HATCHBACK

lol, everyone has sent me links for hatchbacks when I said i didn't want another specifically! Those fools over at club-s12 are already asking about parts too! Fu*k you!

[IBCoupe]

Here, have some sad Beatles.

[dre1507]

Mission: Help datte find an s12 coupe. Scour the internet.!! Now!!!

[IBCoupe]

Autotrader is no help.

[naladude911]

That sucks, it could have looked like this

[Jesda]

You should get a two-door Ford Explorer

RIP S12

[MellowZ32]

fix you sig nala.

[Mr1der]

the crinkles in the quarter say it all.

OOF!

Time for a G body Dave....I think it's an ideal vehicle for you.

[Captain Slow]

Here Datte, it's down here near south of charlotte, but I would say definitely worth a look. It's only $1500. I was going to go for it, but then I found my Volvo.


And sorry about your car, I know how it feels.
