I'm glad he is okay, he put a lot of time and effort into all the customization of his Monte and it looked great!
If I'm not mistaking wasn't he turbo charged?

WOW!! Thanks for updating us David! I'm sure right now the last thing he wants to do is hope on MCF (as you mentioned, he's still in shock). At least he's OK!!! Cars can be replaced.
Man, what gives!! This year is a BAD year to be a Monte owner. After mine got a hit-n-run, I think 2 others on MCF had issues, I saw a 6th gen that I pass frequently on my ride to/from work now has a messed up front end, I'm sure I'm missing a couple, and then this!!! I don't think I've heard near so much bad luck for Montes in one summer!!

Hey guys just wanted to let you all know I am ok. Like Dave said some idiot in a F-250 ran a red light while I was making a Michigan left turn and slammed right into me. I never even seen him coming and didn't stand a chance. So sad all these years working on this car and it comes to this. This past spring alone I put an entire new turbo kit, intake and fuel lines on it along with a full revamp on the suspension. Just pissed off for now but I will get over it and come back even stronger.
It is just a car afterall and I am fortunate to be alright, thanks everyone for the well-wishes. BTW the monte took good care of me these cars are tough, it did knock me out for a split second but I feel just fine today. I did go to the clinic to get checked out and get x-rays too and the doctor said I would be just fine. What a ride though!! RIP slowmontecarlo 2003-2013

Sure do man I'm not gonna let this hold me up, I got love for the 5th gens I do have a 98 Z34 beater I am going to pull out now and start fixing up a bit and also plan to buy a super low mileage and southern rust free 98 or 99 Z34 here in the near future to be a replacement for my turbo car, all the performance stuff will go back on the new car.
