    Crashed Your Muscle Car, Now What?

    After taking your classic muscle car out for a Sunday drive, you turn into the main road around the corner from your home and another vehicle comes speeding at you and smashes right into the side of your classic beauty.

    The beauty of a vehicle you’ve been working hard on restoring is now damaged. The shiny cherry black paint has been scraped off, revealing the metal underneath. A huge hole is now on the side of your door. “What do I do know?” you may ask yourself.

    It’s a sad thought. Unfortunately, it’s a thought that many of us have experienced first hand.

    There are guidelines to follow in a regular accident setting and these same guidelines apply to accidents with classics involved.

    Pullover and Check for Injuries

    After the accident, pull over the vehicle safely and make sure to first check yourself and your passengers for any visible injuries. From there, you move to the other vehicle involved and check for injuries of any people inside the vehicle.

    If any person is injured, immediately call 911. The operator will provide step by step instructions to assist you in helping the injured until a medical team arrives.

    Report to Authorities

    The accident must be reported to the police. By law, anyone involved in the accident must remain on the scene until the police arrive. Once the boys in blue arrive, you will file a report of the accident.

    Exchange Information

    According to Dallas personal injury lawyers, make sure to exchange all information with the other driver involved in the accident. This is the minimum information to get from the other driver:

    • Name
    • Address
    • Vehicle registration number
    • Insurance information
    • Driver’s license

    If serious injuries occurred during the accident and you can’t get the information required, you can work with car accident lawyers. They can assist you with gathering information and evidence and help you get the settlement you deserve.

    Seek Medical Attention

    If you are seriously injured you will likely be waiting for an ambulance to arrive and help you.  When you have minor injuries, you can still follow the guidelines as mentioned above. 

    After treatment is administered, gather all your medical reports and auto body repair invoices to prove the damage that was caused by the accident. 

    Dealing with The Aftermath

    Make sure to notify your insurance company to recover compensation for damages. There are many insurance companies that insure classic muscle cars as well as newer model muscle cars.

    Even though you might not be at fault, you have to report the accident to your insurance company. You may have coverage for personal injuries to assist with medical expenses. Even though you may think that you do not require a lawyer, it’s always best to get assistance with your car accident case. Employing car accident lawyers should be a no-brainer because they typically require no up-front payment.

    Last Words

    Being in an accident is never fun. It might have been fun and games leading up to the accident but the result may leave you injured or worse and your classic muscle car may be damaged beyond repair.

    Your safety is more important than recklessly flashing your muscle car and ending up in a wheelchair. You also don’t want to be the next YouTube muscle car fail hit, do you? So, when you’re the one behind the wheel, drive defensively and you’ll hopefully avoid these unfortunate consequences.

    • The Audi RS3 is one of two ultimate ‘mega hatches’, and probably the best of the breed. Its astonishing pace and theatrical engine combine with huge grip and more of a driver focus than previous generations. It’s also a brilliant daily.

Are you parting with R1.3m (or more) for one? Let us know in the comments below.

    • Menacing Frozen Brooklyn Grey Metallic BMW M4 CSL sold by @bmwbryanston spotted in Linksfield recently by @thomasovitale 😎

Would you prefer this or the freshly revealed M3 CS?

    • The BMW i4 M50 is quite possibly the best EV we have had the pleasure of testing.

It's superbly comfortable but at the simple touch of a button, it switches from tourer to tornado and you find yourself instantly doing speeds you should not be doing.

While not all EVs will have the same refinement or scintillating performance, this was both relaxing and thrilling to drive.

The Gran Coupé is a handsome car with a sense of sleek length and disguises its hatchback as a booted saloon rear end and that M Portimao Blue metallic paint certainly garnered a lot of positive attention.

Compared with the BMW iX it’s less of a show-stopper, but comes with a much more attractive price tag – and while the i4 is still quite the financial investment (R1,6m) we feel it gives you excellent value in return.

Yes, we did have a few charging issues (Eskom) and if you don't have a Wallbox charger at home filling up with petrol is MUCH easier. However, that being said if you’re looking for an outstanding driving experience both on the twisties and on the highway, this is definitely worth considering if you have decided to make the jump to the electric car.

    • The totally bonkers Ferrari 812 Competizione was spotted in Bryanston today by Brad Ainge.

It actually makes the F12tdf look quite tame in comparison. Which would you rather have?

Priced around R14m depending on spec.

    • Our time has come to an end with the most potent version of Mzansi’s favourite bakkie, the new Toyota Hilux GR-Sport.

The 2.8-litre turbo diesel powerplant has been tweaked to push out 165kW and 550 Nm thanks to an updated ECU which also responsible for the much needed revised mapping of the six-speed auto.

The sporty Hilux gets new monotube shocks as well as stiffer coil springs which make the bakkie a lot more settled at higher speed and provide great feedback on some of the twisty bits. If you don’t have a full load at the back however, you might find it a tad too stiff and rather twitchy for day to day driving. 

Inside you get a load of sporty touches including “carbon fibre” trim pieces but the highlight has to be the race inspired front seats complete with Alcantara inserts and some GR badging on the headrests. 

For the Hilux customers, this is a welcome addition to the range as the exterior and interior aesthetics align very neatly with the GR brand.

Yours from R891,400. Are you picking this or the Legend RS?
