~ the car is owned by the lease company... a lessee has no rights to it & its parts.

Yeah, I think it done pretty well, I was probably running 35 to 40 mph. I drive this road home from work every day and it has two back to back sets of 90 degree curves in, and it's always been fun to take them fast, that's what these cars were built for. When my wife picked me up from the crash site we happened to follow a guy she works with for a few miles down the road and she had showed him and a few others at work the pic's of the car. One of the people said "do you think he was driving too fast", the guy we had followed said no, the person that asked the question said how do you know? He replied he made it through the first 90 didn't he? It was nice to be defended by him.

Well, I thought I was ok, last Sunday in the middle of the day my left arm, half my hand and three fingers went numb, (feels asleep and tingly). I've been hopping all week that it would go away , but it doesn't seem to be getting any better. I usually don't ever go to doctors unless I think I'm going to die, but if it's no better by Monday I guess I'll be making an appointment. It could just be Crossfire withdraws.

Cool Re: Crossfire Meets Telephone Pole

Could be nerve damage, I am not a doctor or anything but I would check it out ASAP. I am not much older than you are and the same thing happened to me, minus the telephone pole and accident. Walked around for 4 days with the sensation or lack thereof and found out that I had a heart attack. My cardiologist said that these things can creep up on you, even if you are in good physical shape. Don't want to see any thing happen to you, so go have it checked out.

So after the news that surfaced from todays featured pic it brought me back to this 1 year old thread with the loss of your coupe.
I see here at the end of the posts you stated you were having concerns with injury.
How did that all turn out anyway ??

I ended up okay, it took about 2 months to get back all the feeling in my left hand and fingers. Probably caused by neck whiplash.

I just checked this thread. At first I thought it was your SRT6 and then I saw the photos. Glad you're O.K. It's bad enough, but it could always be worse.
Maybe now you can order a Spyker C8 Spyder...
O.K now the Caymen seem more reasonabe. ...
