Great news Bill! As they say, thanks for "sharing."

You didn't mention anything, so I presume the Camaro driver is OK. (??)

As for the other driver --- string 'em up at the nearest tree. What a bunch of
crap. No ins + no license. What the he!l's with that?!?!?!?

The only thing that is remotely humorous is that the other guy was driving a F**d. willy

This is the summary info:

The owner was from Houston Texas

It makes us wince to see and report the demise of this 2010 Camaro, the worst crash we’ve seen yet, unfortunately. Forum member Dertybr’s brand new Camaro was wrecked more than a week ago by a Ford Escape piloted by a teenager. Not only did the teenager not have insurance, but did not even have a driver’s license!

Luckily Dertybr’s insurance replacement protection plan covered this loss and will be taking delivery of another brand new Camaro any day now. We wish him better luck the 2nd time around!

I think one will find with the downturn in the economy and unemployment on the rise many more autos out there are rolling without insurance.

No Insurance??!!??

Revoke their driver's license.

And if that doesn't work, impound their car.

There's NO excuse for law abiding citizens to be put at financial risk by scum-bags that drive w/out insurance.
