I was on the way back from looking at a potential project car that was for sale a few minutes away from my house. As I was going through the intersection at about 45 mph, a 1991 Oldsmobile runs the red light and clips my front wheel and bumper. My car was still in contact with his car, and at that time, I come in contact with his rear wheel/fender area (tire/wheel mark on the center of the front bumper).

I do a 180 degree spin and end up jumping the curb, rear-end first (where the right turning lane is). He does a 180 degree in the (north) direction he was traveling. He sits there for a split second, does a U-turn and flees the scene.

There were 6 witnesses to the accident. Keep in mind that this was at 1220am on a weeknight (lucky)! One citizen shortly follows and locates the fleeing vehicle (missing a taillight, hubcap, that was rolling on a rim, sending sparks everywhere), abandoned in a residential neighborhood. About 4 to 5 police officers arrived several minutes after the accident occurred.

I was able to positively identify the car. They did a search (the doors were unlocked with the windows down) and impounded the vehicle.

So now, it's just a waiting game. Enjoy the pictures.

 

 

whatt!?! thats unbelievable!! it was such a beauty! i hope they catch that SOB.. you should go get checked out..

this was on expressway and portland?

 

That sucks *****

 

suck a gorgeous GS gone to rest

 

wow, what a ****ty night. that was a beautiful car...sorry it happened to you.

 

$hitty situation...that sucks bad!!

 

Damn bro, you had a nice GS! That sucks!

 

10 to 1 odds on that car that hit you was stolen - which is why the found it abandoned...

IF you have non-insured accident coverage - put your claim in as soon as possible.

Just on a side thought, find out (local Police) if they were actively looking for that car that hit you... does seem (from your description) that a lot of cops showed up rather 'quickly' ... if they were actively looking for that car then you may have a case against the police (under a 'non-pursuit accident' clause)

 

Sighs. Thank God your still alive.!

 

Sounded like it was a fun ride what with all the spinin'!

 

wow I'm sorry to see that, it was a beauty of a car. Hopefully they catch the bastard. Keep us updated!

 

Man that sucks

 

Glad you're okay man. Sad to see the car go. It was absolutely gorgeous, and I hate lowlifes like this who ruin your hard work.

 

Yes, exactly. It was crazy! I will get checked out tomorrow. I will post pics of the Oldsmobile shortly.

 

I could tell something had gone wrong with that sort of a cawky title lol.... sorry to see man, at least u are not hurt.

 

Damn that sucks. Glad your ok.

 

#&@*#(@* s.hitty drivers...sorry to hear about this man

 

are you ok? a car can be replaced, even tho it looked as nice as that one. as long as your ok is all that matters...

 

Damn man are you ok? I hope you had full coverage my man so they can replace your vehicle for you

 

Yeah, I have full coverage. I am doing okay. Most of the car is parted out now.

This is the car that hit me and fled. Notice the missing passenger-side taillight:

 

That's ridiculous man...I loved your car. You had one of my favorite GS400s due to the fact that it wasn't over-played and overdone like some of them.

What are you going to look to get now? I take it that the insurance company will total it

 

That sucks... Sorry for your luck. Glad you are OK.. And hope they catch the sorry a**

 

I just bought a CLS550 today. Great news: the OCPD"s hit and run division has found the owner of the 1991 Oldsmobile. It is insured with liability! I am waiting to hear back from them.

 

 

damn bro srry to see and hear... at least you and the fine lady is o.k

 

Like the rest have said, I'm sorry to hear and see about this and the main thing is that you are ok.

 

Damn that sucks, was a nice ride and liked those rims!!
