Re: Yet another mach 1 is gone...
Hello,
There is a AB Mach at a local (get this) Chevy Dealership... Would you like for me to visit them and see what the condition, options and price is... The main thing is that you are ok. Naa-V-Doc Last edited by Naa-V-Doc; 06-14-2008 at 12:16 AM. Reason: wrong word used |

First of all, no racing in town of any sort. Second, I don't swerve for anything anymore. Third, I have come home on occasion with blood on the wheels or bumper or hair stuck to the exhaust and brought my wife out to show her my handy work. Her reaction: "GROSS!" or "DISGUSTING!". I've hit 2 deer, a jack rabbit, and countless squirrels with my Mach. Both deer, I was HARD on the brakes and wound up tapping 1 and the other took a trip around the front tire, inside the wheel well. 1 got away, 1 didn't. Last weekend, I was racing with the PHA. The guy at the start line comes up and tells me that there are reports of turkeys on the course between turns 3 and 4. I told him they'll be dead. His response? "I recommend running them over." Lucky for them, they weren't there when I got there. Still a damned shame about that car though. I hope you can get a replacement. Good luck with it!

Re: Yet another mach 1 is gone...
Sounds like the shop may not have got your lugs tightened and one of your wheels was trying to come off to me.

Re: Yet another mach 1 is gone...
I was kind of thinking the same thing. Something seems fishy by the circumstances.

Re: Yet another mach 1 is gone...
Unless the lug nuts on the passenger side are really loose, the ones on the driver's side look pretty tight to me. That front wheel is in the right position relative to the caliper. And you'd have one hell of a vibration from loose lug nuts. You would think your car was vibrating apart at 50mph. I am more apt to believe the tie rod or ball joint failed. Or, you turned the wheel and hit the brakes harder than you thought. That would certainly make your car spin. Anti-locks or not, your car will spin.
Did you happen to get a picture of the skid marks on the street? They would have quite a story to tell.

Re: Yet another mach 1 is gone...
glad to hear you're all right. i had a similar experience with my old cadillac de ville. the car was setup for hopping and it was about maybe 3 or 4 months after my dad and i had purchased it. just had new shocks installed in the rear, and as we're driving home with my dad driving hes noticing a vibration from the right side. we stopped first to make sure there wasnt anything jammed in there, but didnt see anything. we decide to take it slow to be safe and nurse it back home, sure enough something happens, the car suddenly pulls to the right, my dad slams on the break, and we came to a stop with the wheel just bumping the curb ever so slightly. this was like 5 or so years ago, but a cotter pin keeping the tie rod together had broken which caused the nut to back off. so the arm dropped, luckily the nut wasn't too far away from where the car stopped, sow as able to put it on, and use a key chain ring to at least hold it in place till we got home which was just up the street. but not a fun experience with a fire hydrant about 15 feet in front of us and a tree just 5 feet behind us...

Re: Yet another mach 1 is gone...
I still have not heard from anyone from Geico and the accident was on the 10. So tomorrow will be the sixth day. Is there any sense in getting legal advice if i it free? I called and talked to someone at Geico today and they pretty much lost and confused me. One thing he did say is that when they take the car they destroy it, I thought that is were junk and salvage lots got there vehicles from? Also, I asked about all my money spent on mods and I guess anytime you put money in your car you have to call the ins company and report it so they can charge you more money and cover it I guess. I don't know. This is my first accident and I feel like am going to get robbed. I hope not.

Re: Yet another mach 1 is gone...
I wonder if they will let me buy the motor and tranny(which I don't know if I would need) only? I am moving soon, and will be getting a dd. The house has a garage and I would love to find a 93 foxbody in really good condition and drop my motor in it. Should be pretty quick since they are not as heavy as our cars. Any more advice? Thanks for all the help so far, Thanks everybody.

Re: Yet another mach 1 is gone...
Glad you're okay, sorry to see another Mach1 in the graveyard. Think you'll replace it with a used one or go for something newer?

Re: Yet another mach 1 is gone...
Bro, thank God your ok. My wife got into a very bad accident back in March and it still effects her today mentally. She had a Ford Escape and was tboned in an intersection by a full size Dodge ram going about 45-50 mph.
She was knocked out and sent to the hospital in an ambulance, the guy in the Ram walked away like nothing ever happened. She still hasnt gotten over the accident and everytime we come to an intersection I still see how scared she is. I really hope your able to move on more easily than my wife has. We have Geico and they did well for us. They gave us the full value the car and then some. Good luck with everything and take care. Edit, Geico wont give you anything for mods unless it's reported like you said... the major prob we had with Geico was they truly took their sweet time. I think we had a bad case manager though.
