damn that sucks, thats why i dont take my car out on the rain

RotorNutFD3S 12-18-2009 04:39 PM

Worse maybe. It hits you harder when it's a close friend.

NA6C-Guy 12-18-2009 04:41 PM

Glad to hear he is OK. That could have ended much worse for him. As always, cars are replaceable.

x2! kind of shitty of him to say that

10AEHooked 12-18-2009 04:51 PM

Damn, glad he's alright man!

Should have bought a Civic. If I learned anything from The Fast and Furious it was that Civics can drive right under tractor trailers without incident.

I'm glad he's alright. I think about that kinda stuff all the time when I'm driving. I'm sure he's hugging his family tonight.

Doppelgänger 12-18-2009 05:49 PM

damn. wow. :(

I was out driving in this shit today and it was pretty bad at times.

hey sorry. didn't mean to discount your friend's pain and suffering. for what it's worth, the guy under the rig in my post walked away.

Joe Perez 12-18-2009 06:50 PM

Dibs on the engine. Also the tranny (if it's a 6 spd) and the diff (if the carrier is intact.)

scandmx5 12-18-2009 06:51 PM

yes its a 6spd
insurance gets to pick first, though
he also has a white hardtop sitting at home
i want GV lip spoiler

Vultures. :laugh:

Here's some more pictures of the damage (our cars hold up pretty well vs. a tractor trailer, even when they don't hold up, like the one that y8s posted, people usually walk out of them ok somehow):

turotufas 12-18-2009 07:27 PM

Highway and rain not for me. That's why my sig says what it say. Very lucky.

Bassmachine 12-18-2009 07:37 PM

Damn that was a nice nb too, the interior was really to my tastes. Tell the guy he had created a awesome car, but sorry for the bad luck.
