Full Version: Last Night Sucked
DSMCentral > Forum > General Talk
JBone
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. mad.gif

What the hell happened!? sad.gif

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

...So does this hinder my chance of being your co-pilot, Nate? wink.gif
natedogg
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. smile.gif

Sorry to hear about your wreck though. sad.gif
ncgalant
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?
JBone
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.
Mike

resalturbo

KOU In3
Sorry about the bad luck there man. sad.gif You do have full coverage on it right?

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? biggthumpup.gif

JBone
Well, here's the update. The car is going to be totaled. I am now going to be looking for a new car. It blows. I was just starting to like the car. oh well. I am hardly on the internet these days, so i will keep you guys posted. thanks for the sympathy.

Time for a DSM? cool.gif
AWD DSM 1
Definately DSM Time!! biggthumpup.gif
resalturbo

ncgalant
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.
ncgalant

I am thinking about gettin a '95 AWD Auto. The tranny will help keep me in check and I won't have to worry about the dreaded "CRANKWALK." So please keep your eyes peeled for any you may know about. You can hit my home's email machine: mpelmhurst@mailstation.com. It's text only.
90GSX
Actually the autos are just as suceptable to crankwalk as the manuals. Hey wouldnt you like to drive a somewhat familier DSM? HAHA biggrin.gif Just kidding, im sure you wouldnt want the loser back, plus its got tranny problems again. mad.gif

Honestly, Jbone, from what little I know of you, you probably won't like the auto. But hey, at least it's a DSM!! biggthumpup.gif

In case you're interested, my dad's got a 93 FWD manual with a 6-bolt in it and some basic mods for sale. It's that electric blue color, and in really nice shape!!
natedogg
Yeah. Screw the auto man. And screw the 2G. (no offense to any auto or 2G guys) You've been around us long enough to know where the real lovin's at. biggrin.gif

Dan, Rob, and Travis all have 1G 5-speeds to hook you up with. I think its time to play who can give Jbone the best deal. wink.gif I personally think you should buy the factory freak fwd.

THat sucks soooooooo damn bad. Same thing happend to me the week after I paid off my 97 saturn. It was the only wet spot in Maryland and I hit it. Going the speed limit, too. Shit happens in the worst way. I'll buy you a beer if I ever run into you. My condolences.
