Can we fix it?!......eh...probably not.
My beloved "Killer Tomato" is now a dead tomato. The result of a woman in a SUV with two kids in the car while talking on the phone and trying to make the light before it turned red.... I'll be getting the car back and probably parting it out. I highly doubt I would be able to revive the car from this. I'm ok. No injuries other than a headache, a sore ring finger, and a rash on my chin from the airbag. So RIP Killer Tomato. May your parts help other SVXs in need.

So sad to see this happen, but good to know you are ok. When did the accident happen?

About 7:30pm last night. I'm so glad that I hadn't put on my Euro Tailbar yet.

I have no idea how insurance works over there but doesn't the woman's insurance company have to pay for a full repair or new equivalent car?

Awful, such a nice SVX too. It looks pretty bad, I have to agree, I don't think insurance company will be willing to repair that. I'm thinking Wynndi's car would be good for you if you were in the mind to replace it.

Re: Can we fix it?!......eh...probably not.
Anything can be repaired / I personally would fight it . The woman deserves to have to pay for it , and have the phone shoved up ------------
We have repaired much worse. The air bags did more damage than the rest of the repair work. True you have easily more repair than the car is worth . Tell the insurance either repair or replace it . Is that one of the Carbon fiber hoods or just an added scoop |

Hi Rebecca, Glad to see you are OK. Sorry to see such a beauty of a SVX in such bad shape. Of course at this time you can find another and start making her pretty again. I can see down the road some years that we will not be able to do this as a car with so few made will just not be around. Take care, BOBB

Wow that is why I cant stand other drivers. I make my cars faster so I can get away from these drivers. So sorry to see the damage on your , but at least you are still alive to tell the story. Good luck.
