I really appreciate the outpouring of support. I’m just sad that I’m the reason this thing had to die.


But, if anyone has a shell you wanna hook me up with for really cheap…or knows anyone with one…hit me up. Looks like I need another 100 page build thread.

I don't know if you want a gb.... But I got one. I'd hook you up. Plus it would give you an excuse to come up for that ride 😉
 
Send me a truck/trailer and you can have this Cory.

Marty
It would need ac, it is missing i found out 😞
It's MERRY CHRISTMAS Red!!!! From Santa 🤶
 
Cory is in Florida.
I'm in KS. 😞
 
If anyone is able and can help, I've listed a few parts for sale that I'd like to sell quick. Check out the classifieds and grab something please. Or tell your friends.
 
Duuude, that's unreal. I'm so sorry about the car, man. Truly glad you're still kicking! That looked like a pretty rough one.
 
Been in your shoes with a totaled DSM. It hurts but as others pointed out, you're here to tell the story and that's what matters the most. You will get hooked up with another one and we'll all be here to feed another 100pages of build thread fun.
 
As we all can see, look at the outpouring of support for you Cory. We all share your loss and are willing to help if we can. I just want you to feel good and hope you are not injured badly. I think we all worry about that!
Prayers 🙏
 
Dude, that looked really bad, and with that concrete culvert just a few feet away, it might have been worse. We're all obviously relieved that it was just the car that was destroyed. It'll take some time to process, but you'll be good. I just hope it doesn't lead you away from the community, as I've seen others move on after traumatic experiences like this (@larryd comes to mind). Take it easy Cory.
 
Man I’m happy to hear your ok
And heart broken to see her like this

What happened to the other shell you acquired earlier this year ?
They look so similar—if you still have you could save her by moving her over to the that shell. “ If you have it”


I saw the classifieds but just now saw this thread …

I hope you can bounce back
Been a fan, hope you rise from the ashes like a phoenix 🐦🔥
 
I can’t express how thankful I am to all of you for your love and support. For the offers of help and stuff it still hasn’t really fully sunk in but it’s starting to. I’ve got the car back home now, and looking at it gives me a greater appreciation for what I survived. Pics below.

There is a perfect circle that surrounds my head that isn’t fully caved in, but all around me is like 12”-18” caved in. The roof was touching my forearms. I thought it was me hanging but it wasn’t.

That great chop in the middle of the roof? Six inches to the left and it would’ve completely broken my cervical spine and crushed my skull. It goes down to shoulder height.

Jesus man.


But once I heal up I’ll post more and reach out about replacement shells and stuff. Thank you so much.

Injury list is:

Concussion
Bone Lesions
Chest and Abdominal Lesions
Shoulder Fracture
Tears in multiple ligaments in shoulder
Cervical Sprain/minor tears in neck fibers.

So yeah. Could’ve been much worse though. That’s crazy.

Looks like damn near everything is salvageable except the radiator and what not.

Glad you're okay seriously. That looks rough.
That's quite the laundry list of injuries.

This was the main reason I stopped tracking my 1g without a roll cage/rollbar. Too much shit can go wrong at any given moment, and I have too much at risk now with my daughters. You never know what can happen in a rollover. You're pretty banged up, but you'll get through it. :rocks:

The injuries were more than I expected. The only thing I really felt/feel is my shoulder. I didn't feel particularly confused, and no one around me suspected concussion despite repeated interviews. I actually refused transport by EMS and they let me.


But yeah. The radiator is boned, however everything with the A/C including condenser looks fine/sealed. I turned the engine off before I got out of the car because I could hear it running still/still had the frame of mind to save the engine. ROFL. I'm kind of proud of that, and the fact that I extricated myself. The cops, highway patrol, Navy police(I landed on a military base), fire department and EMS were all stunned to see me walking around.


But yeah. I'll be back. I really do need to sell a few things like the turbo and the bigger items to pay for fees/tickets/medical bills though...so please do me a favor and spread the word or buy something you may need yourself. I'm gonna post a general partout FS ad here in a few moments here and on social media.
