    **** man! That's horrible. Get as much money as you can. Any reason as to what happened, what made him hit the wall? I'll bet he's fired. Sorry to hear and see that.

    PChop,

    I don't even know you, but I do know your beautiful car because Noah had it that day of the Lingerie party...

    All I can say is... basically what everyone else has said: I am greatly disturbed by this. But we're on your side and I'm sure this wrong will be righted somehow...

    Regards,
    David

    if u take a look at the damage to the car...
    .
    it seems like the car hit something like a pole or something....unless it was crashed on a corner edge of a wall.

    if the garage says that the attendant drove straight into a plain wall, they are lieing. the car hit something jutting out.

    Holy Crap. Sniffle. I, I, can't.....

    sigh. Your car is/was one of my favorite f-cars. Period.

    Don't forget when seeking damages to point out that your car is an ROE concourse trophy winner. That'll make their wallets quiver.

    I am no detective or bodyshop but if you look the video closely you can see that most of the damage is above the front bumper and the hood. i bet you that this idiot took the car for a joy ride and rear ended an suv or a truck.

    I agree.

    i dunno what the garage claimed. when i was there with pchop...he said the guy hit a wall. but dunno which part of a wall....a corner wall?...a flat wall? dunno.

    but pchop was there first so he may know exactly what they 'claimed' happened.

    John... my heart goes out to you. Ive always regarded your 355 as one of the most beautiful Ive seen. As Rob said... best thing you can do is to get things sorted quickly (but not carelessly) to ease the pain.

    PS - check you PM

    Should be able to see the other car's paint or bumper rubber in that case.

    PCHOP - Sorry to see your baby in such bad shape. I remeber meeting you at Lime Rock, and seeing your gorgeous 355 Spider. Hope all works out for the best, and if I can help in any way, please post up.
    - Hutch

    - Could we start up a "take PCHOP out for a night of heavy drinking" fund?? To help him through... Funds generated could also be used at SCORES strip club, and that might also help...

    wasn't it "SCORES" where a local business man ran up a 10K bar tab?
    and a foreign "dignitary" ran up a $30K tab? Both went to court to fight it as I recall.

    I think we'd best avoid that place. But we've been to many other wonderful places. Pick one, PCHOP!

    John, I've been at work all week, and barely even able to read any posts. I just picked this up. I'm so sorry this **** happened to you bro. Unbelievable!!

    I'll call you in the morning, and we'll talk strategy. Bottom line: you gotta go after these guys hard. But it will have to be in a certain manner to get maximum payout.

    I'll call you soon.

    Vik.

    John: Keep me posted. I see some people here suggest speaking to lawyers. That's fine. Just might want to touch base with me before you spend any $$

    Thanks all for your kind words and support...but my weekend of bad luck have just turned for the worst:

    I was waiting at a red light on 2nd Ave (at 36th Street) around 11 p.m. When the light turned green, I started to drive my Jeep. Suddenly, I saw a red bus speeding towards me from 36th Street. I slammed my brake but it was too late; the bus took out the front right of my Jeep. If I had braked a second later, the bus would've slammed directly into my Jeep and I probably would not be here typing this. So in a nut shell, both of my cars are wrecked in a period of 48 hours, and I had my near death experience of a life time.

    I hate my life...

    How does one consoul such bad luck? And Noah wasn't even around, was he? ;)

    I saw the pictures yesterday of the 355. They show far worse damage than the video clip. But then to get nailed again! That really S#CKS! My offer is still on the table. Call if I can help with anything. As we were chatting yesterday, I'm very glad to hear we aren't going to have funeral services for the 355. It's just far too gorgeous a car to bid farewell too.

    Hang in there. It's only got to get better.
