No offence, but women driver's (not all, but most) suck at driving. I hate that you got to go through with this, they ended the life of your pride and joy. I wonder what goes through their minds?

I died a little inside

On a lighter note, the payout from ICBC should be fairly good for this one given the condition of your car.

Start collecting ads to present to ICBC as the market value for this car. Use my CL ad for my car too if you want.

Are the frame rails bent? I think you should try to save it if you can. I'm sorry to hear that man I really liked your car.

Unhappy

WOW THAT SUCKS, glad to hear you're ok.

I loved your car...

Keep a daily log of EVERY little ache and pain that you experience for a good long time to make sure you are fairly compensated by ICBC.

I might be interested in alot of parts if you choose not to rebuild it...or you could just get another shell and transfer everything over.

Hopefully you at least yelled a bit at the moron driving the van...

well men... when and if it is writen off... i WILL part it... judging on the next vehichle i purchase... im looking into that nifty little 135 .... i wish...
but i will do my best to save it... but heres why i said it was write off... when i went to take it out of gear, the shifter would work... and i realized it was at the back of the shifter opening.. when it is normally at the very front since it has a short shift kit... PLUS... get this... the glove box was busted... and the HU face plate came off... and the amp in the trunk was ripped of its mount... so yeah... it was pretty hard... thanks for the kind words... we shall maybe see the beautiful beast once again... crossing fingers

You know even though i don't have an e30 anymore. Everytime I see one I still point it out and say "daaang". This sadden's me greatly. I've posted this on the bcmr2 forums and i've already seen a few comments from our club saying how exquisite this car was and how tragic that this happened to such a good owner.


A real shame. Our thoughts and prayers are with you.




Amen
