- VY Calais, WHII Statesman V8, VC L 202
My wife was driving my VSII Statesman last night and was in the middle of a 3 car sandwich on the freeway. She was fine, no airbags went off and she didn't wake up this morning with whiplash or anything else. So that's good news. Her car was hit in the rear and cannoned into the car in front. Towbar of the guy in front punctured her transmission cooler and brand new radiator. Front bumper,headlights, and freshly painted bonnet trashed. Bumper at rear was mangled, boot wouldn't open and driver's door was difficult to open. No photos because I haven't seen the car and don't know if I want to see it :cry:.
Got the news this morning that it's a writeoff :rip: , not sure if it's an economic or structural writeoff. Agreed value is $14k so it must be structural.
If anyone attends the auctions in Melbourne, keep your eye out for a 1996 V8 silver stato with 188,000 on the clock. Engine and transmission have never been pushed hard and would make a great conversion. Interior is impeccable as well.
Not sure what car to buy for her now. It will be a used car: VX to VY era but it could be anything from a dual-fuel V6 exec to another statesman. Won't be anything modified or wild so rule out SS and HSV. So within the confines of what models I've just said let's open the suggestion box. Tell me what I should get and why.
