At some time after the NYU Make a Wish Foundation Show today, one of our own was involved in a serious car accident. To the best of my knowledge, Adam is fine, but his newly acquired gorgeous GTS didn't fare as well. I understand that it was caused by an accident that occured in front or adjacent to him which he couldn't avoid, but I can't post facts with any certainty. I was told that he was taken away from the scene in an ambulance as a precaution, but that he is fine.
Maybe some folks in the know can update us? We're all feeling for you Adam! |

was driving back out to LI with rose on the northern state and saw a clound of black smoke. as we got closer there was a traffic jam, then few mins later cops and fire trucks. as we got closer and passed the accident i saw a blu white gts up on the median. first thing that came to mind was Adam even though i couldnt see anything more than a B/W gts covered in dirt. i pulled over and crossed the hwy on food and it was a bl/wh GTS with badvenom plated. i asked the cops and firemen where is the driver of that viper and he said in the ambulance. i thought adam would be all bloody and badly hurt from the loks of everything but he was A OK , all shaken up in the back of the ambulance. few mins later cops kicked me out and told me to leave. i call ed charlie and he told me that he was picking upo adam. im so glad that bad boy is OK. you are a lucky SOB. thank god! screw the car. those are easy to get.

Thank you to all my friends here at the club..Im okay a little shook up but thank god I had my 5 point harness on..I say this from my heart, THANK YOU FOR ALL THE CALLS AND PRAYERS. God spared my life today. I was 10 minutes from home on the northern state getting ready to switch over to the LIE, 2 exits from home when Im passing in an open lane between 1 car on my left and 2 cars on my right. It happened so fast but what happened was the 2 cars to the right of me apparently bumped and 1 of them tapped me by my passenger door right in front of the rear wheel and put me in a spin that I couldnt recover from. At 65 mph it scary. I know how Nascar drivers feel now when they're bumped. Anyways I spun for about 200 feet a few times and ended up on the right shoulder wedged between a tree and the side divider.. I guess Im lucky could have hit the divider and rolled. The cars on its way to Johns shop Mikes partner so well see...Anyways thanks to all especially Charlie who came to my rescue right away. Thanks Charlie I luv ya man. And thanks you D for stopping in to see me at the scene. To all I appreciate the support... Now we will have to wait and see the damage and see if shes salvagable..

As everyone said, I'm glad your okay. The car and parts can be replaced, you can't. Not many safely walk away from a Viper Accident. Rear suspension assembly/Rear axles/diff., Front facia and Paint maybe all that is needed to bring it back to excellent condition again. I'm sure everything will turn out fine whether that one is fixed or you get another. The main thing is your okay. Thats all that matters. Glad I was able to offer a little assistance to help bring her home.

A real Bull Sht discovery happened yesterday when Adam and I were told that we were not allowed to call in our own flatbed. Now I know from past experience that you are not allowed to call your own flatbed into NYC to take your car out of the city impound. But being that it is your property on the parkway you should be allocated a reasonable amount of time that you can call in your own professional to remove your car (especially if it is not on the parkway obstructing traffic). It was extremely frustrating to have to deal with the NYS contracted incompetant tow slugs that severely overcharged for pulling the car out and for the flatbed. We had to constantly plead with the tow boss and his empty skull worker to not throw chains on and tear the Viper out and cause more damage. At the same time we're trying to implore them to try to carefully ease the car out of the embankment but in the process, NYS Parkway Trooper Jackass keep pulling us away from the workers telling us to leave them alone so they can continue their sorry a s s abortion of car extraction before us. For us to deal with the accidental aftermath was bad enough and then to deal with a s s holes treating Adam'car like it was garbage removal was totally infuriating. I have to say that Adam handled the situation before him very well and I give him credit for being as diplomatic as he was. He definitely kept his cool better than most people and I would have. I would really want to see a NYS Highway Official justify why NYS has the power to take our property and do what they want with it without first giving us a chance to take possession of our vehicle if it is not blocking the parkway. Its a real Fcking Racket they have going and no one is going to tell me otherwise. Saddest reality is that we are at their mercy and don't have any rights of our property in this situation.
