Coming home last night I took my normal route home. No crazy drifting or "high performance driving." Took my exit off of the interstate, and... BOOM SCREECH BOOM. What the hell was that!? Got home and the car looks horrible. Take a picture of my car and move the entire bumper, lights, grille, everything, and move it to the passenger side by about 6 inches. Yeah, it sucks. No autocrossing or enjoying my new race header. Have fun, fellas.

Remember the pong game where you watched those two "boards" play ping pong? Substitute my car for ball and guardrails for the "boards."

How'd you end up on the guardrails? Blown tire? Broken tie rod? Broken suspension part(s)?
I'd have let you drive her around the course once or twice, but I gotta have something to drive while I'm down there too. ![]() Sorry to hear about your wreck though. ![]() |

dude, that just sucks. Did you just hit a wet patch or what? Wouldn't you feel better if you had been driving fast so you could blame it on stupidity?

No, I can still blame it on stupidity. I hit a wet patch last night at the beginning of the ramp, was going "too fast for conditions" and... BAM... Ping pong with the car.

Sorry about the bad luck there man.
![]() You should still make it out to AutoX school to take out your frustrations on the course. KOUmotorsports can throw together a loaner AWD for you for the weekend out of some spare parts we've got lying around. Up for it? ![]() -------------------- |

sounds like its time for you to get yourself a DSM again. You'll feel all better about your totaled car when you take your 1/4 mile down 2 seconds.
