I saw this second photo on Brian Watt's web site. The first photo was taken on Friday night at Nick's, the second photo after the VW Classic on Sunday night. I believe this is Zach's prized GTV car. So sad. I hope everyone is okay after this huge crash...

Metal can be repaired or replaced but people are much more complex.  I pray everyone in the car was able to walk away.

That sucks, Zach. Glad that you're okay, though. Hopefully, you'll either get the car back on the road or pass it to someone that will.

Thanks guys. I don't know how that picture got out, only a select few have seen it and I'd prefer it stay that way, but it's too late now I guess.

I can see why you didn't want to share this pic, but for me it sent home how bad the crash was, and why you are so upset.  Just be thankful you drive on the wrong side of the road.

I don't know how insurance works in the USA, but it would be nice to have a go and fix it.

I hope you find the time to plan what you want to do with it, no knee jerk reactions.

Simular looking "crash incident" that almost took my life in my pride and joy 67 ruby red Empi equipped sedan way back in 1977, being hit broadside by a red light running 70 mph 1977 full size Dodge and ended up having to endure 1 1/2 years of intense physical therapy.... Glad YOUR OK Zack...your car looked AWESOME at Nicks..!!  Dyno

I don't understand why people think accident photos are sacred.. I think it serves as a reminder that bad stuff happes.. A wordless to the wise as it were. I don't think hiding something like that serves anyone anygood. Now IF some one were badly hurt.. that would be a different story...r

Really glad to hear Zach is OK, but that photo is painful.  A very cool car.  We all have to drive and enjoy our cars, but when they get "hurt", many times due to the other driver's actions/mistake, its a shame.  A crying same.

My heart goes out to you, Zach.  Take "uncle" Keith's advice.....put it aside, let the wounds heal, and slowly go back to it.

I seriously doubt Shag meant any offense in his post... I agree on the context of the thread, but let's all cool off and breathe a bit here.

I am sure he didnt,but he already posted one "look at me" picture and didnt get it then,even though he got ignored,it isnt difficult to start your own thread is it? and I fail to understand how he could have possibly read this thread and the context of it and then posted his pics,the same pics he has posted with the same words elsewhere on other forums,only my opinion but its just rude.

I was thinking the same thing. Hey Shag, let us know when your dog dies so we can all send you pictures of us having fun with ours. DICK.

A little soreness on my left side cropped up the last few days, but nothing bad. I keep telling myself that I'm lucky, but I haven't been convinced yet.

Even if I do let the car go, I'm not getting out of VW's. My mind is working on another project, something that isn't bounded by parts from a decades old catalog Wink
