Default My GT got crunched between 2 trucks!

My GT will be down for at least 5 to 6 weeks! I was hit by F250 4X4 truck from behind and pushed into a Tahoe, they both drove away.I got a N/A PT for a rental, but it's not the same. I never drove a stock PT before buying my GT, so I had no idea how slow they really are!The wife drove it and liked it, but she doesn't have to get on the freeway every morning. The new 2007 model isn't as comfortable with no arm rests, lumbar adjustment and the seat height.I also prefer the under seat drawer to the between seat console.I was also a little upset that Enterprise car rentals don't allow smoking in any of their vehicles!I will call a few other car rental companies to find one that has a car I can smoke in.I know that I have to Quite, but this is not the right time to do so.

As well as Cruisers do protecting the occupants there is a price to pay to the body shop. A 5 speed n/a is more fun to drive but I'd guess they don't rent them huh? Sorry to hear about your crunched GT, hope they fix it better than new.












And yeah, you really should quit.

Hope they fix your baby as good as new.
Think how much you'll appreciate the turbo when you get it back!

It was a ford F350 with duals (4 rear wheels) that hit me. The air bags didn't deploy as my front bumper was lower than the Tahoe's.I really miss my GT!It's too bad the rental companies don't rent GT's.My computer crashed 2 days after my car did due to bad hard drive.What next!

My home computer is still not working yet. I have been trying to work with 8 or 9 Dell techs since 12/12/06 to get it running. It has crashed twice and requires removing all files, then reload. I think it's a hard drive.The system is under warranty for 2 more years, but I am not happy with Dell at this point.I lost some of my pictures that I didn't have backed up, but still have the accident pictures in the camera.
