He got cut off by someone in an escalade, he swerved, and then spun into the curb.

Same shit happened to me, some jerkoff in a big truck didn't even look.

I learned my lesson. Next time, let him hit me.

Needs more F1-style wheel tethers!

I hate when that happens, it's the reason I upgraded my horn too.

Jesus, what kind of wheels are those? It sheared the axle and broke a chunk out of the rotor, but the studs and wheel didn't fail? :O

On my way to work, I turned across an intersection to head north bound. As I was in the middle of the north and southbound lanes, the lane for me to turn north bound closet to the median was open with nothing more than a cadillac escalade in the middle lane heading straight. As I went to turn and my car was 3 quarters of the way into the lane, the person in the escallade decided to go into the lane i was starting to turn into, basically comming head on into the passenger side of my car at at least 60 mph. In order not to get myself killed, as the idot was about no more then 2 ft from my car, i hit the gas to basically slide the car in tandem with the angle of his car as he was passing.

That worked...for the asshole. I ended up at the last second having to choose weather to let off the gas and steering wheel and hit the front of the car or keep on the gas and spin the car to hit the rear passenger side to keep myself, and the front end (more expensive to fix) safe. I chose the latter and this is what you see. My wheels are the shit btw. Anything lesser wheels would have been shattered.

DontPassTheFence 02-12-2010 03:10 PM

thats the most amazing thing I have even seen.

Excuse me while I jock on your nuts and go buy a set of enkei NT03+M

kewilso3 02-12-2010 03:42 PM

that's why I never trust a single open lane when people are in the other lanes, they dont use blinkers and they dont care... glad you're ok and didnt have to deal with other vehicles being involved.

leatherface24 02-12-2010 03:52 PM

Doppelgänger 02-12-2010 07:18 PM

So is the diff getting replaced? I'd be surprised if it's not fuckered up.

Full_Tilt_Boogie 02-12-2010 07:55 PM

Good to hear. Hopefull it'll be back on the road soon. Until then....make sure you (ab)use that rental car the way it should be.

magnamx-5 02-13-2010 11:30 AM

man i would track down the mofo in the caddy and beat him to a pulp this sucks man get your shit right :) and make him pay.

chicksdigmiatas 02-13-2010 12:24 PM

I hope that dumb shit spilled his starbucks all over his lap, that ass. I deal with the same thing here in SA. I am going to buy a 78 chevy c10 to drive every day. That way if someone pulls that shit, i just let them hit me. Old shit FTW.

Pitlab77 02-14-2010 11:23 AM

wow

Bond 02-14-2010 11:35 AM

Same thing happened to me, but I just busted a wheel and bent a control arm. Fuck SUV drivers.

turotufas 02-14-2010 11:47 AM

Damn that sucks. Happened to me too. Not much damage though.

A super fine girl driving SUV cut me off at a roundabout. I slid a around after I hit a water puddle from the sprinklers. She was about to stop and I waived her by, I didn't want to bitch at her.

dgmorr 02-15-2010 02:05 PM

Damn, that sucks. Would a weaker wheel cause less damage though?

leatherface24 02-15-2010 02:29 PM

i think a weaker wheel would have been worse. i dont even want to think about that.

Heres some more pics of Enkei WIN

That sucks that the idiot got away. I hate drivers who change lanes in intersections and change lanes in double turning lanes.

gospeed81 02-15-2010 06:46 PM

I'm glad I finally found the story...has been killing me.

I was about to start a thread...but apparently that searching shit works.

Seems like Florida would be a great state to own a Miata in, but you guys keep running into the worst drivers, or having them run into you...whatever.

Sorry to see it happen again, but atleast he didn't drive off and has insurance. That car deserves to be taken care of.

hustler 04-10-2010 09:39 AM

That sucks. My sister tapped the wall at hallett in her car then 2-days after body work someone in an SUV ran over the front when it was parked at work.
