Green Machine Posted April 6, 2013 Share Posted April 6, 2013 The title says it all. My Magnum R/T is officially gone. Last night at approximately 22:50 she lost her life and almost took me with it. I was driving to work and another car blew through a stop sign then stopped then continued across two lanes of traffic and I braked doing about 45 trying to avoid her and bam front impact for me and drivers side door of her new BMW X5. I hit her spun her around and then she rolled backwards.well the mag took the brunt and she was a trooper airbag deployed doing its job seat belt kept me in the seat. Airbag burn on my hand and face and seat belt bruising across my shoulder. That's the good news. The bad well car is gone and I have ligament damage to my light foot along with some shattered bones that are gonna need some screws and plates to get me good again. A lot of rest and rehab ahead. Going in Monday for a consult and Tuesday surgery? RIP Magnum!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Green Machine Posted April 6, 2013 Author Share Posted April 6, 2013 Whaaaaaaaaaaaatt??!!! Chase an you believe it???? I am no longer an LX owner. Might look at the new Durango R/T but my wife is very turned off to dodge right now. Lost my first Mag and now my second one. You know what the next step is SRT. May go for a good used Challenger in a couple of years. I have a really good surgeon lined up!!! One of the best from what I am told. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaveVY Posted April 6, 2013 Share Posted April 6, 2013 Ouch! Hope you heal well and have a fast recovery! If you end up having PT, be sure to ask the therapists how you can use polishing time on a new ride as part of your therapy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We will see its my wife's choice now and the only replacement for the mag would be a challenger srt8 of course. But I am not gonna be able to drive for a while.
