hit a tree trying to miss a deer tonight, tried to upload pics but it keeps f'ing up i need to know what you guys think. i hit the tree... about 5 feet in diameter at around 40mph on the passenger side headlight, of course bumper is gone hood is done pass fender is tucked behind the door, pass wheel is tucked up into the fender and the whole pass side seems to be a fair amount lower including the rear, which the rear tire is now tucked up into the fender well. the engine is knocking badly seems all the coolant ran out and when i stumbled out of it i forgot to turn the car off, and it over heated, was smoking and the whole bit. the pass side airbag deployed the driver side did not, broke the windshield, it seems the radiator core support is pushed back pretty far, there looked to be no room between the motor and fan. any guess' until i get some pics posted? im gonna try doing smaller batches at a time, i will post and let you guys know as soon as i get the pics up. btw im fine, lil shook up, and broken hearted but ok all the same.

 

What can anyone say here.....this sucks. You had a awesome modded ride.
I was looking forward to meeting you at the Dragon too. I do hope you are physically OK and can get past this heartbreaking loss. Hang in there and focus on the positive thing here... you walked away from this tragedy. Gary

 

you could tell me how to get pics to upload! apparently its f'ed up and they are too busy moving my post around to fix it.

 

That totally sucks!!!!!!!

Glad to hear you're ok!

Did you at least catch the deer and bash it's brains in? (I know I know.....awful thing to say.......but I live in Michigan......we whack thousands of bambi's a year!)

 

Thanks for not hitting the deer!!!!!!

 

Irwin, that's terrible news but glad you're OK. Your car was so unique. Let's hope they total it so you can move on with your life.
Good Luck


You could always check around to see if ya can find a "rental" Crossfire for the Dragons Tail.

 

By your description of the damage, it sounds like a total loss. Your XFire is wrecked but at least you're okay. Time to go XFire shopping and start anew.

I'm sure like the rest of the forum members, I would like to see the pics of the damage to see how your car stood up in the crash.

Damn it! I just looked at your gallery and that was a NICE Xf! Sorry for your loss but based on your ordeal, glad your still around . On another note, at least you don’t have to sell it now .

Strange place for this thread

 

Erwin, sorry to hear of your accident. I'm glad you're fine though. That's the most important thing.

What kind of problems are you having loading your pics?

 

So sorry to hear that! That was a nice car.

What counts is that your are okay!!! You can find another XFire........

 

Sorry for the bad news irwin. As others have said, at least you are OK.

 

Irwin,

First, I'm glad you are unhurt.
Second, I'm glad the car performed as far as avoiding the deer.
Third, you have my deepest simpathy for your bent Crossfire, it was a true gem.

Now you just need to find an SRT6... and put some of your stuff in it.

 

The devil isn't dead at all. Just sidelined temporarily. Maybe that's why this is in the "how to" forum. Glad you're okay, though. That's the most important thing -- by far.

 

glad your ok can't wait to see you in a new SRT6, if not are you parting anything out ???

 

bill set up another thread in the general xf area where this one originally was before it was moved, i have pics posted there, thanks for the support

 

I'll provide the bat!!!
Sorry, Coupegirl, you should NEVER attempt to weave out of the way of a deer because then trees will appear out of nowhere. Slam on the brakes & hope for the best, odds are they'll move.

 

Irwin
Sorry for your lost, but i'm glad you're okay.
