Salsa with Abyss Sport package Pics, Before and After shots...RIP VIBE

[06salsa]

Well here it is almost done.. Looked good. The day after I got all the facias on I was hit. Stopped at a light and someone hit me at 40 MPH. I walked away but my poor car is dead, totaled, after 1 month of service. But just to show you, the black package on a monotone car looks pretty good. Now I just have to figure out, do I get another one or not?

No doubt your car looked great with the black! Sounds like no one got hurt in the wreck and that is good! Boy did that Vibe get crunched! Yikes!

[michaelgt]

Glad that you could walk away. I bet you had a sore back.

[BlueCrush]

Sorry about your Vibe! Hopefully no one was hurt too bad. Your Vibe did look great with the black sport package. I would say get another Vibe, of course!

looked good with the sport package. I like the front 2 pieces. but man, are they expensive.sorry about the accident, glad you weren't hurt.

The rims we can see still look good. If the FL rim is good too, hope you get to keep them.....If you have any pain, see a lawyer. Exact same thing happened to my bro-in-law 2 months ago, but they totaled his '73 LTD! He walked away with a sore shoulder, but it got worse over a couple of weeks. He didn't want to see an attorney, but ended up doing so and got more $ in the settlement.

Man... your vibe looked sweet and got me thinking of wanting to get those!!! Too much $$$ though And im really sorry bout the vibe, it did its job and you walked away from it! Definately get another one to show your appreciation for the other one that saved you

[NascarXprt]

i agree the vibe did its job on protecting you from serious injury. def. get another. those rims looked sweet and the salsa w/ abyss sp looked sweeeettt. the rims look salvageable and some (very little) parts look salvageable. glad to here you came out unscaved.

[northvibe]

DANG that car is sweet looking, did you powder coat the roof rails? sorry to hear about the accident but glad no one was hurt.Get another vibe!

[4X4CHICHI]

man, you got crunched.

[NascarXprt]

i didnt know there was two different sized vibes regular and compact?!?!? when this happen.

[damronjr]

That was an awesome looking Vibe! Really sucks to see what happened to it, but glad to hear you're OK!

[GMJAP]

Looked great! Totally blows about the accident. Only a month old! RIP 2006 Salsa & Abyss

[eSSjAy]

wow... sorry to see your poor baby all banged up! I know the feeling... but mine wasn't as sad because my accident is what allowed me to get the vibe! Glad you're alright! Hope you come back to the vibe!!

[AKLGT]

[GrayFox]

That sucks Get another one to honor the fallen vibe!I think it would look even better if all the cladding was black ...still looked awesome Do you have any pics of the rear-end (pre-compacted)?

[Lancer]

Hello All,Thanks for the support. The accident was on Thursday, the 1st. I got the police report yesterday. The guy that hit me was on his CELLPHONE!! I was in contact with the dealer that I bought the vibe from. Asked if he could find me a GT. He found 3 within 300 miles. Abbyss, Salsa ,and Lava. So I am definetly thinking of another Vibe. Someone had asked about the roof rails. They were painted with a textured auto paint. Kind of looks like powdercoating with a little texture. All I have left is the original salsa colored side moulding for under the doors. If anyone has use for them let me know. You can have them , just pay the shipping. As for the wheels, they arent bent, but the insurance adjusted said I would have to put tires and rims back on it. And I already got rid of the factory steel wheels. And just to let you know, the car still starts and idles like a clock. Just cant move it because it drags the rear tires because they got locked inside the fenders. Me, severe concusion, neck and back pain. Here is a picture of the drivers seat. It actually snapped in two. only the fabric is holding it together..I will be back!!!!!!!!! I'll keep you all updated.Thanks,Forrest

Ouch! That seat looks nasty! Hope you get well soon.

[NascarXprt]

Holyyy!!!! that seat looks ugly glad your ok. by looking at that seat it could of been much worse.

[xssiv1]

With the way that seat looks i would get a lawyer. You may have back and neck pain for some time. That Vibe really took a beating though!

[BigMac]

Wow... Congrats on actually walking away. I hope you're all right, and the pain goes away. If you bent the way the seat did... ****!

[slvrvibes]

Wow, that seat sure did bend. I hope you feel better soon. Glad it wasn't worse and that you were able to walk out of that crash.

[burkeyro]

(removed), I'm glad to see that you walked away, Wish I could have seen it before the accident, seeing that I'm basically up the road. I hope you get another one. They are tough little cars, I know, I had a pretty bad accident with my old abyss 2003.Just to let you know I was looking at one up here, it's 2004 with like 20000 miles. Here is the Link if you are interested:http://www.autotrader.com/fyc/...ist=5I test drove it and it runs really good and it's just up here off close to Blue Ash.

Sorry to hear about your Vibe...and glad to hear that you came out of the accident walking away (and thanks, joatmon for unzipping the file) I too think you should get another-you know Vibes are safe.
