Tire blew

[stoopid]

The tire pressure could have been high enough to not trigger the low pressure alert. On my Corvettes the low pressure alert comes on at 24 psi. Running at 160 mph would require tire pressures to be near the high end of the operating range to avoid overheating the tires. The other thing is that the tire may have been punctured while driving at that speed causing a loss of pressure resulting in the tire coming apart.

I'm fairly sure the Stinger's low pressure alert is somewhere in the high 20s, as I've seen it triggered when I've gone up in elevation locally in colder times of the year. But the overarching point that something could have been awry (blown belt even) or stuck in the tire leading to the failure is valid. I'd think at 160mph the driver would have experience severe shuddering much sooner and at lower speeds prior to failure. The fact it was fine then not indicates to me a unpreventable catastrophic failure.

There's roads out here in the West where many miles of clear line of sight and quality pavement can afford one some relatively safe 'stretching of the legs'. I'm not sure I'd ever have the nerves to hit 160mph in a street car without at least roll cage/helmet, and maybe a spotter way ahead.

Yeah. Like this one, on it's way to you.

Personally. I much prefer this. Doesn't teat up your tires or beat up your engine, and actually takes some skills to do it right.

I only wish we have more of these closer to where I live.

^^I see a straight line there...

We have those too. Variety = spice of life.

I see a citation for leaving your lane across a double yellow line there.

Don't look to good guys pretty sure insurance will total it .
Its worth 34k
a 2022 with 12k miles on her

Holy crap! Ima not believing. What makes up $12,266 in parts? Seriously, What?

It's actually 4,314.10 in parts
12,266 is with the labor hours and tax on the parts and shipping cost
Tax total on parts =1,592.72
Labor total hours. =6,360.00
Parts plus shipping=4,314.10
That's how it equals =12,266.30

The rest of it is on paint and tax on paint cost .I'll pay 1,225.59 hands down

If I can drop the claim I am and but the parts my self and install it (4,314.10$) in parts
All I'm need is paint match on 3 items
(Front bumper,driver Side panel,driver Side skirt). I'll pay
Everything else I can do my self no problem on the parts replacements .

Total Will be 5,539.69$

I'm in the wrong line of work...

Add this to the short list of AI proof careers

That is one expensive speed run.

This is insane.
What labour if they are simply replacing 3 body parts? And maybe one headlight.

This takes an average mechanic less than a working day to do (except for the paint).
Is there suspension damage? What the hell!?!

At these rates it would cost around 1 milion € to build a Stinger from parts.

I think that somebody wants your car. Insurance company totals it, somebody gets the car and fixes it up for well under ten thousand and sells it for a nice profit.

Seems like a second opinion is on order.

Next shop, get out of pocket final cost -- not insurance. That number will 'magically' be half, and the shop will still turn a good profit. Don't share this estimate with the second shop, even if they ask. Just tell them it was a lot and you want a fair/objective second opinion. If they balk, find another (third, fourth, fifth,..) shop until one of them bite. Someone will want your money.

Ight guys so insurance got back to me today after a week worth of waiting
They quoted it's repairable and 11k instead of the 19k .
I picked up the car on Friday from the shop I ain't got time to wait haha shiittttt I need the car for shit

So @ the end it is getting fixed guys In about ruffly 3 weeks they should be done with this hole process and car should be ready to go like new .

Ooh and if it makes a diffrence the vehicle valve is at 38k so of course they gana fix it
