The Rest of the Story... (from Buttonwillow)

I've seen the car at Fx and I am sad to say, it actually looks worse in person than in the pictures here.

Byron, I am so sorry for this tragedy but I am confident that you will come out of this ok and will probably have an even nicer car.

Byron,
Man, That sucks! When my F40 died on the last drive and the AAA guy said he could call me a flat bed I said "No way!" I think we all have the fear of this very thing happening to us.
If you are still going an the next drive and can't find a car, you can ride with me in the F40.
It is a sad thing, But the ball is in YOUR court with the insurance company. Sure, they will low ball you at first, but in the end they will either fix it or pay what it takes to replace it. It just may take a while.

I fought for 364 days over a '65 Corvette roadster repair and 9+ months getting $$ for a Corvette I crashed in Mexico. In the end, they both paid in full.

Good luck,
Have patience,
Rick

 

Oh my - I am thinking of driving the 328 off a cliff just to ride in the f40 some more.

 

Can I ride in it when you do??

 

Can I have the F40 if you forget to wear your seat belt? lol

 

LOL
Sure.....

But aren't you coming with me??

 

Yep, but I am wearing the seat belt & landing on the passenger side - No offense, I just really like your F40.

 

Byron, all I can say is that this really sucks. There's an old Chinese saying something like 'if the old don't go the new won't come'. Hope the new year will bring you good luck.

Wait a minute...... Could this be the start of a NEW reality show??!! Sort of a Survivor theme???? (in your best anouncer voice) Tune in next week folks to see Rick and Jerry drive an Exotic sports car off a cliff to see WHO survives the crash and wins an F40!!!!

Sounds sorta catchy eh?

Rick

 

Byron,
I just logged on . I can't beleive this!!! I am so sorry to see what happened. As long as you are O.K.
That SUCKS!!!!!!!!!
I'll talk to you more about it in person.

 

Holy ****, I didn't read the post I just saw the Pictures. I fell off the truck.. You should have punched him!!!!!!

 

...so after falling off the truck and down a mountainside, the pics on the first page are all that happened? Surprising....still sucks....but surprising unless I missed some pics.

 

Hello Byron, I just read about your great day at the track with a very sad return home. It's a real shame that so call profesionels, have no respect for any cars. Especialy when it's your Ferrari.
No one needs such agravation and you got enough with your starter.
I recall that you had trouble with the starter during our trip in Santa
Barbara this past Summer when I was there.
Good luck to get all back in shape for the season. Check your e-mail
take care,
Roland

Talk to you later.

Oh man Byron, I feel your pain. I never heard this until this morning when 007 informed me of the situation. I was shocked. Our man Costa will be able to fix it up if that is possible. Luckily you don't have a big red taco like I did. And even better, you were not in the car.

 

byron,

i know im very late on this but im really sorry to hear about your car. its absolutely unthinkable that something like this could happen. whats done is done so I hope that the towing company and their insurance company treat you very fairly and resolve this mess quickly. Once again Im really sorry to hear about your car.

Byron,

I had heard about your loss through the informal grapevine and wanted to extend my deepest condolences. I am in the auto biz and this is unfortunately not the worst I have seen or heard. These guys have ZERO understanding of our deep passion for the four wheel ladies.

The best of luck in sorting this out. If you need anything to get this beast (or a new one) back together, let me know.

I see you are in capable hands with Costa, so at least that is good.

Thanks

Brad
