Fred, I'm so glad to hear you and your son are allright, even though the GT isn't. GTs can always be fixed or replaced, but lives are a little different. You have the right attitude. We'll all see to it that you have a good time at Rally III. Look forward to seeing you and your son. Hang in there TEXANS ARE TOUGH! See You in Vegas. Tomy

Guess Rally 4 will have to be in TEXAS and we can put a posse together to find the creep who wrecked my buddy:mad
If someone gets him B4 then we can all pitch in and rebuild the GT for the event.......Or have Bony supply the makers and we can all chip in and watch the GT guys do it:thumbsup

Glad both of you are OK. Hope they get leads to catch the guy before he causes even more damage.

On a related note, aren't there enough GT's out there to form a posse?? Enough time before the rallye to hunt 'em down -- and -- somehow traditional old west justice just seems fitting.

I am sorry to hear this incredibly bad news and at the same time overjoyed to hear that you and your son are doing well. Realisticaly, as everyone knows, this could have been a lot worse. This is what insurance is for and I'm certain that there's another car out there for you. I'll see you in Vegas.

How about hanging them where the tips of their toes touch the ground about a quarter inch. They live until their toes cramp.
Or some of our northern GT brothers can bring pliers and a blowtorch for a little party.

Really sorry to hear this happened to you. Fantastic there were no injuries.
I cringed thinking about your son directing traffic in the dark. Glad you two are OK.

Fred, I'm very glad that you and your son are alright. The car can be fixed, but I'm very sorry that you had to go through this.
"About 6 miles from home [yes only 6 miles from home] at 6:45 AM [still dark] we were hit in the left rear by a pickup truck at 60 to 65 mph.
Truck hit us in the left rear, went up on the left rear side of the clam shell of the GT, it broke the trailing link of the left rear suspension, bent the rear rim, along with who knows what other untold and unknown items."
Glad to hear you're ok. What I really gather from this is how battleship tough the GT must be. A 60+ MPH impact by a TRUCK on a 44 inch high car and you both managed to get up and walk away? Big stones on your son too by hopping out to wave off traffic.

Spirit, I have read many of your posts. I hope you continue to participate in the forum and you get your girl up and running some day soon. Moreover, I am happy to hear you both are safe. Heads up by Clayton to try to flag others away - been in those situations and some people rise to the occasion very well.
