WHAT HAPPENED To The Mid-Engine Eclipse :( (Patreon)
Content
This is obviously going to surprise a lot of you. The Mid-Engine Eclipse has been MIA for awhile and I was ultimately wanting to wait until everything is figured out with insurance, the giveaway, etc, BUT I'm tired of waiting and keeping ya'll in the dark. I'll be making a video to explain it all and posting it on YouTube once everything IS figured out. Please try to keep this here on Patreon until then.
This happened the day after the car finally got street tuned and was ripping properly. Kurt and I were driving to get some supplies from Home Depot when, a driver who was on their phone, pulled out in-front of us at an intersection. We were way to close to him to avoid the accident and hit him directly on his passenger side front wheel. The accident was pretty hard. We we're travelling 30-40mph and he was probably traveling 5-15mph. The car was instantly totaled but, as you can see, the fuel tank was punctured and caught fire. Within 5 minutes it was completely burnt down. THANKFULLY Kurt and I were completely uninjured. Not a single scratch.
This happened awhile ago and I've gotten over it at this point. Just incredibly sad to see thousands of hours of work destroyed in minutes due to the incompetency of a driver on their phone not paying attention. Just thankful we're okay. Sorry again for not sharing with ya'll immediately. I'll try to answer some of your questions later tonight!
Also new video later tonight on the tow rig setup!
