Friday night, around 2:00am, my girlfriend and I woke up suddenly to a huge crash in front of my house. Within a minute I made it out front to find this. The car and driver are gone. Hit and run. All that is left of his car was the front grill, bumper cover and lots of random broken pieces. I called the cops then took off in my girlfriends car looking for the scum bag. No luck. Got back to my car about the time the cop showed up. From the sticker inside the bumper cover we were able to tell it was a white 2004-2005 chevy Malibu. I have pretty much exhausted my search efforts looking for this guy. Based off the damage to the vehicles I am shocked the Malibu would make it very far.
My car was pushed about four feet sideways into her truck and then it pushed both of them another three feet or so. Several thousand dollars damage done to both vehicles. We both have full coverage but since the guy ran we are both on the hook for the $500 deductibles. As all of you know a 99 grand prix has little to no value in the insurance companies eyes so I fully expect to be screwed once the adjuster comes tomorrow. I will see about buying it back and get all of my parts off of it since it is definitely totaled.
This comes at a pretty bad time since I was about to start my turbo build. I have spent almost $2500 in the past month buying pretty much everything I need. I guess better now then right after I put all of the stuff on. The car will be missed but I don't think I am out of the 3800 game yet. I won't be buying one right away though. I am going to pick something different for the dd and plan on picking something up later to build with all the parts I have. I still feel sick losing It this way.
Alright guys, even if I never get another w-body it has been fun. I have met some great guys from this forum.
