R.I.P Blue
Only this kind of sh!t happens to me on X-mas. Blue was totaled this evening. Still not totally sure what happened. Some kind of mechanical failure caused me to loose control of the car on an interstate doing about 75. It looks like the passenger side wheel just broke apart. My wife and dog were also in the car. We were heading to my father in laws. Wasn't driving crazy for a change. The car just spun out. Hit a guard rail and curb. Then spun again and hit another guard rail before hopping a curb and hitting a sign. Car traveled a total of 150 yards before coming to a complete stop. What was weird is no one in the car was even slightly hurt. NO EVEN A BRUISE! The seats held us firmly in place. Mircle is all I can say. Blue has been the most interesting car I've owned. It went out in spectacular fashion.:( Now I have the tough dicision if I will get another sports car or something a little more grown up.

Blue - I'm so sorry man!!!! I truly hope that you and your wife and dog are ok.
Any idea on how the wheel came apart and off just like that? How bad is the damage? Total loss? Again, I feel your pain man. I've had two cars totaled. I hope you are ok. To be safe you should go to the hospital or a doctor and get check out. I still have a bad next from my accident this past Jan. Luckily I go checked out right away. Merry Christmas and best wishes. just think of Bolton humping a bottle warmer :D -chris |
Damn that sucks :(
Its also one of my biggest fears with all that i have dont to my car. Something breaks on the interstate cruising at 80. Glad everyone and the dog was ok. Merry Christmas and try to enjoy your weekend and worry about the car later |

We should have a service here at MF remembering our favorite moments together. No nned to grow up either. Get what you want. I mean get a mustang! |
RIP
Get a new GT. :) |
That's sucks....but it could have been worse.
Weren't you getting tired of the old turd anyway? Buy a Cobalt SS/TC!! To me, it just seems like if you have owned a fast car for years, there will always seem like a certain emptiness if that car disappears without a proper replacement. |
First and foremost, I'm glad that you guys are ok, a life cannot be replaced. She was a good car, she gave you joy and fun. I'd vote for the 2011 GT if you can swing it, or a Terminator.

extremely sad to hear this!
I'm glad you are ok! Hopefully no injures surface in the weeks to come. I doubt you will be able to not own a performance car. atleast not for long. good luck in any route you go in. |
Wow man sorry to hear that! glad you guys are ok! your car was one of the coolest cars on here! but you HAVE to get something sporty, preferably a stang haha!
|
Glad everyone was OK! That's pretty amazing. But sorry about the Car!
|
Glad you and the wife are ok D.
the 5.0 is def a great choice for the new ride! or you could buy a nice low mileage blown vert :-) |
Blue I'm sorry to hear that! Most importantly, glad to hear that the family is safe. Blown GT Vert next? new 5.0?
Merry Christmas man! |
When you have finished mourning your loss. You may want to consider a used GT500. I've seen them go for bottom 30s on autotrader with 10K or less miles. Tousley had an 07 w/7K miles on it for $31,500 listed a couple weeks back.
|
Ouch, :(
5.0/GT500 would be a good choice. SUV wouldn't be bad either. After I pay off the Neon I'm pretty set on a used Escalade or BMW X5. ...Really like the Benz Mini Van as well..haha |
Sucks to hear, Blue. But, atleast you and your family are ok, and that's all that matters. Cars can be replaced.
|
Glad you and you family are ok!! Really sorry to hear about all this happen man, go get you another good fun car to drive!
|
Parting out, let me know about the Meth Kit, etc. Sorta tight on $ right now, but maybe.
|
So sorry to hear about this buddy. I'm glad you and yours weren't injuried.
|
Sorry for your loss Blue. I'm really glad you, your wife and your dog are ok....
|
glad to hear you guys are alright.

oh Damn ! sorry to hear about your car B.B. . for sure it was what u named it ...BEAST !!
But certainly glad that u and your family or not injured . you can always replace the car , i'm hoping you go for the 5.0 ! good luck and keep us posted |
srry to hear that. glad everyone is ok.
|
Thanks again everyone. Didn't really feel to bad about it til my daughter seen the car this morning in the light and almost broke down crying. She loved the car as much as I did. I was just glad my wife walked away without so much as a scratch. She has decided we're getting a grabber blue 2011 GT. Of course it'll be named bluebeast2.0. I'll post some pics and a walkaround video. Going to need it when I try to part blue out on the SRT forum anyway.
|
you mean "bluebeast5.0" right? ;)
