Wrecked my f**kin car
Well, on a rainy day in FL, I hydroplaned my car into a ditch. Good thing is, I did no property damage or bodily injury. Bad thing is, I totaled my car.
While most people won't give a damn, I was told by a friend that starting a GoFundMe may help me get into another camaro6 quicker. https://www.gofundme.com/q8wfqf-need-another-car Thanks in advance to anybody who chooses to donate. |

insurance paid off $22,000. But I'm eating the 5k gap and the money down I put down. The gofundme is for 8k. That will take care of the gap and gofundme fees.
I figured with the camaro6 forums having 131,000 members, if less then 5% donated $1, I'd be set. I'm getting another one no matter what. The idea was that this would shorten my time table. |

stock summer tire....all nannies on....just a freak accident.
once the car hydroplaned...the nannies kinda did the wrong thing by tapping the brakes and throwing the car sideways. After I cleared the bad spot on the road, the nannies started to pull the car back straight, but by then it was too late. wet grass and street tires are a bad combination. 35mph. not hotrodding it. airbag in the steering wheel and driver footwell went off. but it was such a low speed crash that the bags never touched me. No tickets or citations on scene, got in no trouble with the law. Since I didn't run through somebody's fence and hit their house or sheer off a $10,000 telephone pole my insurance company ain't even mad at me. |

That really sucks about your car bro but at least you're okay. Instead of starting a GoFundMe page why don't you just look for a used 2016 like the one you lost you should be able to get one for your payout.
To each their own though |

I'm sorry this happened OP, personally I always try to put GAP on my vehicles, its not worth not having it and in most cases only adds like $2 per month to your car loan.

sorry to hear. But my opinion with gofundme is for people who come across tragic events and aren't financially prepared. You want bonus money to get into another camaro. This isn't really your life or some elses life depending on donations for medical costs, food or shelter
