Silver Streak Totaled
My wife and I were traveling from Florida to Minnesota for work and we had to go around Atlanta. We chose 285 on the west side and we were making our way at about 60 mph when a Jeep Grand Cherokee slamed into her from the rear
. He had to be going at least 85 to 90. The car did not swerve at all and she was uninjured
. I was driving ahead of here in my Durango pulling a trailer. When we got off to the side of the road I walked back to see if she was ok and check out the damage, I coulden't see anything until I got up to the drivers window. The impact stove in the rear end and blew out the back glass and the left side LED's for the tail lights were hangin mid air

The other driver was a young guy who had been asked by the owner of the other vehicle to take a woman and her baby home from church. He said that he only blinked and then the impact happened.
Then the pwner of the Jeep said that he is diabetic so he could have fallen asleep or goten goofy from not eating properly. Anyway everyone is OK except the car. The original estimate was $7,500.00. I didn't hear anything from their insurance company for two weeks and then they called and said that they had decided to total it.

This is really a good news bad news thing. The bad news is that I need to figur out how to change my user name. The good news is that the reason for needing to change my user name is that instead of another silver sedan we replaced it with a Diamond Graphite Coupe. There is a silver (Maybe a Diamond Graphite) lining in this cloud.

Will you be able to continue the trip in a replacement vehicle?G/L with repairs and I'm glad your wife was not injured.

Silver Streak has been Replaced by a Diamond G Coupe
We just picked up our new DG/Stone Coupe yesterday from Luther Infiniti in Bloomington, MN. They treated us very well and made the whole experience as pleasant as possible under the circumstances. The other owners insurance company called me on a Wed and told me that since they had made us a settelment offer that the rental car that they were providing was going to be cut off Friday.even though they wouldn't get us a check until Mon. or Tue. of the next week.
Luther said "NO Poblem" and told us that if we wanted to buy a car from them that they would give us a loaner until the check came through.
We picked out a leftover 05 coupe and we had to have a few things changed on it so we had the Slate Blue G35X for the week until our car was ready.
