Back in early April, I basically totaled '02 SS #243 in a violent crash into a brick building. The throttle stuck wide open, sending me out of control.
I was cited and jailed for suspicion of DUI based on being unsteady when exiting the wrecked vehicle.
The car was junk; warped the frame on both sides; the wheels, tires, facia, hood, windshield, front fenders, lights, etc. were all bent, shattered and trashed.
Friday, in city court:
Verdict: Not guilty.
The officers testimony lacked confidence and validity; his verbal report contradicted the written report. It was demonstrated that the officer was negligent by not calling EMS responders. BAC was insufficient sample.
We were able to prove a vehicular malfunction caused the wreck, not impairment by an intoxicating substance.
Computer diagnosis at the repair shop demonstrated the cruise control module failure code. It is being replaced.
The SS has been in the shop for over 2 months. They have straightened the frame, replaced the front fenders, hood, windshield, wheels and tires but still have a long way to go before it is completely repaired and driveable.
SS 243 will live again and I will NOT have a DUI record. We will be VERY careful when driving in the future...!
Have a good day. I'm definitely having a good day. Thanks for your support.....
Drive carefully, ya'll......!

on headers, cam, and a few other goodies to get here. Debating on which electric water pump to use and whether or not MSD is that much better on these cars than the opti. More to come later.
