he's a lil sore and scratched but ALIVE and that's all that matters
iim sure my bud needed a fresh change of underwear and pants

HOLY SHIT!

Glad he is okay!! That is scary as shit!

gawd damn

Lucky guy.

WOW! Glad he is alright. This rain has been crazy in the south east.

i've seen worse:

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

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

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

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.

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.

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

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):

poor Elizabeth. he's already ready for another '03! that trunk slash looks scary shit!

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

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.

Wow, glad everyone's okay.

Hope it's relatively clear for me when my SE tour (Jax and Augusta) starts tomorrow.

expecting 10-18 inches of snow in the next day. the miata will remain parked!

Time out: So fast and furious lied about driving under trucks?????
jk. On a more serious note:

I took out the miata today for 2 seconds to avoid flat-spotting the tires cause its been sitting. It was scary to say the least. Boost = loss of traction.

Good thing he is ok. My friend was in a near fatal accident with a semi on a highway in saudi at 90 mph in a volvo last year. Any other car and I think he would have been dead.

I'm glad he buffed out.

An old guitarist of mine had the same thing happen to him in some 4 door car. They were dragged under the trailer for over a mile before the truck driver realized what was going on and stopped.

yet again
volvo ftmfw
miss mine :(

That'll buff out.

Good to hear the only damage was metal on metal.
