2004 Bentley Continental GT Wrecked

Well unfortunately last week an icy road and a tree did not mix well with my B car.

I've been driving this car full time for a year and a half and it is truly the best car I have ever owed. Unfortunately the tree got the best of it. So it's available to anyone who wants a project or wants to piece it out. I don't have the patience...

I'm glad I was in this car. My guess is if I was in my S550 or my Lambo id be dead. So now selling this and shopping for a new one.

Anyone wondering about the integrity of these cars.... Worry no more... Bentley's rule the world!!!

vettegood is infamous around these parts
Congrats on your survival! After viewing pictures I would not suspect you would be able to use your keyboard. I am happy for you that is just a car that needs replacing, although I know that hurts too!!
and Remember
Happy Motoring...

Ugh, black ice I assume. Very glad you're ok my friend. Am curious, which tires were on her at the time. Surprised insurance isn't just taking her and writing a check.

Tires are
275/40R-19 PIRELLI P ZERO ALL SEASON PLUS XL
They have worked very well for me and I like their endurance, taking into account the weight of this ride. Full performance tires don't last long with me on those cars.


Insurance wise, I have many cars, boats, properties and companies, most have no attached liens so no insurance requirements, so I self insure my first $100k with all assets and have umbrellas to cover for catastrophic events, in the end that matrix works for me instead of carrying dozens of policies and premiums. It is unconventional but makes sense money wise in my current situation.

No airbags deployed. I was surprised that the A frame airbag didn't blow but the hit was further down the car. I don't think it would of changed how I was protected even if it of deployed. Just my guess.

Ah yes, it does make sense insurance-wise. As we all know insurance is just a numbers game. Am **very glad** you're ok as cars and stuff is easily replaced.

I am also glad to hear that you are ok !!


I am bidding, anyone need parts ?
I will not be needing the hood, grill and surround, fenders, trunk lid, rear bumper, side mirror, 95% of the interior, ...


Just asking to get a feel of what it's worth as far as time and breakdown and the fact that most parts seem to be not moving as far as sales on EBay and some other sites, I think mostly to the sellers asking crazy prices.
