I kinda remember this in the Fb group, I just suck at matching up faces to usernames. 13 Impala is what I was originally up for but they sold out and was fully stocked with $30k-$45K new gen ones.
NYCruze2012 was wrecked but I'm still here!
Hey all,
I'm sure as most of you know by now my Cruze was wrecked back in the end of August. I'm still here although I no longer own a Cruze Eco. I spent 2 months trying to decide on whether or not I wanted a new Gen 2 Cruze which meant bank payments or just to purchase a used car as a commuter car. I was in no rush as I drove my Suburban until I made a decision. Anyway I ended up buying an 2013 Impala LTZ with leather, nav, and the Bose sound system for $10K. It was a Chevy certified pre-owned with 50,000 miles on it still under the 6yr/100K power train warranty and came with a 12month/12,000mile bumper to bumper warranty. It has the 3.6L V6 vvt direct injection motor in it supposedly rated at 300hp. I like the fact that I was able to pay cash for it and have no payments. We have 1 yr of payments left on my wifes 12 Sonic hatchback which is good because we are replacing our Suburban Z71 after 15 yrs of faithful service with a much newer one next year and thats going to be a heavy expense.
Anyway this is what happened for those of you who didnt know. I was on my home from work which is a 75 mile drive one way. I was only 2 exits on I-84 eastbound from my home at 3am when a tractor trailer decide he wanted to occupy the same lane I was in which was the far right lane of a 3 lane interstate. All I know is that he hit me and sent me into a spin, I hit him again, and my car skidded to a stop in the center lane in the complete darkness. Onstar called me right away to say they detected and crash and asked if I was ok. I told them yes but I had to evacuate the car immediately as I had more traffic approaching me quickly. I ran to the shoulder and watched the entire left side of my car get pummeled by 2 more cars that couldnt see me in the dark. Thankfully this was in front of a rest area and several witnesses told the NYS troopers that they saw the tractor trailer hit me and that he caused the accident and just kept going and never returned to the accident scene. That was good because I was kind of in a state of shock because everything happened so quickly and I had no clue what just happened other than my car was wrecked. I was also completely unharmed and unhurt in any way. I was wearing my seatbelt but the airbags never deployed. As a friend and a fellow forum member I ask you ALL to please always wear your seatbelts! Our Cruzes can be replaced, you all are irreplaceable!
