So who has had them? 1. what was it? Car, truck, motorcycle...... 2. Street or track? 3. Scenario around it? goofing around, being stupid, wrong place wrong time.... 4. lesson learned?
^^You? 1. moms ford aerostar 2. street 3. stopped at a 2 way stop, thought it was a 4 way got hit in the front left fender by a 64 buick. everyone was fine, the van was totaled. 4. lesson must of been learned I was 18, I am 27 now and have had nothing since.
1. motorcycle (vintage singles class) 2. at a track 3. being stupid, not wanting to give up the inside spot in a turn to a faster bike. I was a better rider then him but when foot pegs get stuck in some one else's frame you both go down. I still have a messed up knee from it. 4. Learned to give up the spot note, I learned from a few close calls on the street to keep this stuff on the track too. I also have a cousin who is a quad as a result from stunting his bike, but he admits he is the only one at fault for that. When I seen him in the hospital the first time a week or two after the accident the first words I said to him where "You know motorcycles are dangerous, people die on those things" I thought my family was going to kill me until he started laughing in pain.
1) 95 Thunderbird 2) Street 3) I was in the middle of a three car accident, not much damage to the other cars but the tip of my hood was damaged pretty good. My dad ended up taking a sledge hammer to it to straighten it out. Wasn't a big deal or anything but my insurance on my WRX is higher because of it 4) Eyes on the road and not on the radio ... I was 17 Also the nozzle thats all I have to say about that Ohh and many falls dirt biking through the 10 years I've been riding, no broken bones thankfully just bruised ego's. Case in point I was riding down a steep hill that had a very deep hole next to it, as my back tire started to slip I fell into the hole. Resulting in my bike being completely upside down with my tires 6" below the surface.
1985 camaro street i was screwing around, trying to drift around a corner, ended up hitting a brick wall, i was a retarted 16 yr old kid, trying to impress a girl that was with me it doesnt work at impressing some girls
1. 91 Lude Si 2. Street 3. Rolled 3x in a swap trying to take corner faster than i should have on a frost covered road. 4. Dont be a dumb*ss
1 2001 Subaru Impreza RSTi 2 Street 3 Always watch out for DumbA$$ people who are in a rush, especially in a Swapped GC8. * All that hard work gone in a second* 4 LESSON: Rebuild it w/ bigger turbo and a better brake setup then the stock RS
1. 03 kawasaki ninja 2. street 3. first damn real ride of the season. me an my best friend on bikes, and about 15 cars going to rock falls for opening day 4 years ago.... going the back roads in wisc. on a road i've never been on, being stupid doin like 70 or so... coming up to a corner banking left and off camber.... corner was no problem, i saw the sign and was off the throttle, however i wasn't aware that a gravel pit road T'd into the corner... gravel over half the lane, my buddy on in the inside almost next to me and oncoming traffic. geared down to third and about 40 mph, a$$ end kicked out and slid into the ditch... upper fairing got thrashed and front fender, me nothing except a bruised elbow, hip and small hole through my glove 4. lesson learned, don't ride like a dumb a$$ on unfamiliar roads
1. '01 Subaru Impreza RS 2. Street 3. Goofin/showin off in the rain, lost control and overcorrected three times until the Concrete wall decided three strikes and I was out. Totalled without insurance. 4. Keep up on your insurance. and 1. '00 Civic (girlfriends) 2. Street (212 and Anderson Lakes pkwy) 3. Minding my own business in the right lane heading south on 212 alongside a Suburban. Saturn Vue decides to blow through the red light crossing 212, get's t-boned by the burban which drags it into my lane causing me to hit the burban and watch the Saturn flip onto it's roof. 4. Totalling a Civic means buying an '08 Volkswagen Rabbit which is WAYYYY more fun to drive. :biggrin:
Still thinking about my options. Got $6K back from insurance and I get to keep the car. Was thinking about a RHD front clip swap or buying a new GC body to put the swap in.
96' Civic Hatch, being retarded and not buying some new tires, hydroplaned on 94E @ 4 in the morning. Yep it was one of the worst days of my life.:emo: That was back in 04' and I haven't owned a car since due to school/finances. All that should change within a few weeks though. Wrecking the ride was the best thing that could of happened in terms of grades/school, I focused more on studies and making new friends instead of spending everyday 'modding' the ride. It also helped that I was thus stranded on campus w/no ride.
1. 1974(?) volvo 245 wagon. 2. Street? 3. hauling ass through downtown christiansted, took a left right infront of hondo's. rear got loose and i slid into a huge cement curb. 4. lesson learned? drive within my limits.....
1. crashed 3 cars, Ford escort, honda civic, wrx 2. Street 3. crashed into a school, crashed into a school bus, smacked a curb (None were my fault ) 4. hopefully I was 16 for the school, 17 for the bus, and 25 for the curb
1. 04 Xtreme Keywest (50cc scooter) 2. Street 3. Coming home from my friends house i turned onto a side street so i could get home faster. I pin the throttle to hit its max speed (about 45) and next thing i know im on the ground in a bunch of pain covered in nylon string. Apparently a bunch of kids wrapped string between a street sign and a mail box and hit it going full bore. Nothing too serious happened, just a bunch of road rash and a few tweaks to the scooter. 4. You probably dont need to make your scooter do more then 35 and even though you look like an idiot wearing a full face helmet on a scooter, it really pays off sometimes. Oh and dont drive a scooter in hastings at night unless you wanna hate taking showers for a few weeks. The whole string thing has happened to me 3 or 4 times since then in my car since.
1) 92 Legacy 2) Street 3) some guy in s civic takes a blind turn going 50 and flys through the stop sign, got t-boned (he hit me right on the front passenger wheel) and totaled the leg. 4) umm...watch out for them ricers in civics.. and 1) 01 jeep grand cherokee 2) street 3) middle of a three car accident 4) don't follow so close? well the first one was when i was 16, the second i was 18..now 22 and nothing since
1. My 02 WRX 2. 35W North 3. I was driving home from Burnsville in the a.m. rush hour traffic. We were inching along in the rain...you know, advance 3 car lengths, stop, advance 3 car lengths, stop...and so on. Top speed was maybe 20mph. The windows started fogging up on me and we had just started moving forward. I reach down to turn on the defroster (ironicly at the same time the car ahead of me was slamming on his brakes:roll instead of 3 car lengths, we moved about 1 car length and "WHAM!" I rear-ended a Lincoln LS. It caught us both by suprise(he was apoligizing to me!)! $3600 in damage to my front end...one small scratch on his bumper. 4. I learned to never reach for accessories(radio, Ipod, defroster...etc.) while in stop and go traffic...unless I am stopped.:biggrin:duh.
1. My 02 WRX Precious Wagon 2. Jay Cooke Road 3. My first accident ever and it had to be with practically everything I ever wanted in a car. I was taking the curves as I thought I could handle them, trying to keep up with the boys. Slid out and straight into a sign, then into a ditch, and then tipped over. 4. I learned everytime I step foot in a car I must understand that there is always one foot at home and one in jail. Give up the front spots. If I wanna learn how to drive my car don't follow a Mazda Speed 3, lol. And don't try to impress the boys when they are suppose to impress me.
Forgot about this one. 1. '80 Jeep cj5 2. block from home 3. tipped it over in a neighbors yard a block from my house coming home to put the winter tires on. 1st dusting of snow that year, 1/4". 4. 33 X 12.50 super swampers are worthless in the snow on a 2000lb jeep. It is like throwing a fat man with roller skates on to an ice rink.
1. 96 Impreza L 2. Street in Grand Forks near college 3. Got hit by some jerk in a pickup going around a bend and threw me into a spin. Hit a utility pole sideways at about 50 mph. Fortunately I dropped off my friend shortly before that happened as she would have been killed had she still been in the car. 4. Don't drive with passengers and everyone in North Dakota has a rusty white pickup truck.
I would have to say that is the funniest visual I have had in a long long time... no stories for me... NEVER crashed a car... snapped my shin bones when I was 8/9yrs old riding a 400cc Dirt&road bike... wrapped my leg around the handle bars.. not pretty
1. People like to turn left from the oncoming lane right in front of me. Twice. 2. Street 3. First time guy just pulled right in front of me in moderate traffic. Second time guy ran a red light, sideways through the intersection, and into my car, which was maybe 2' into the intersection and < 1 mph at the time. 4. It doesn't matter how good a driver you are (or think you are) the other idiots on the road will do things that you have no chance of avoiding. All you can do is make sure you're not adding to the problem.
1. my '06 wrx 2. street - 169 northbound at anderson lakes 3. everyone, yes including me, was following too close and everyone had to stop, i took a shoulder dive and so did the guy behind me. however i had much better brakes than he did and he got me in the rear 4. back off and never trust other driver's and this has me driving a loaner which leads to 1. the loaner forester from morrie's 2. street - 94 westbound in morning rushhour 3. idiot passed me on the left shoulder and cut me off/would've hit me and I swerved and lost control ending up backwards on the right embankment 4. comprehensive coverage covers this type of accident and always watch your rear view mirror for morons
1. 96 Corolla 2. Huron and Fulton, UMN, TC. 3. Driving home from my gf's, decide to run a yellow light, as I proceeded through the intersection at 35-38mph an old Mercury Sable on the opposite side of the road (who was also in a hurry) decided to take a left (without checking for oncoming traffic). And boom!! My car was totaled. 4. Lesson learned? Always have an eyewitness. The accident ended up being nobody's fault. Although I had the right of way, and she obviously didn't yield for me.
Most retarded FAILURE of a system EVER! It can be 90-10 in your favor, and the cop will still say it's 50-50.:roll: Idiots.
1. 2001 Audi S4 2. Street 3. Wouldn't call it a wreck per-se. Driving 60mph on a highway and all of a sudden the gauge cluster goes bonkers and I lose power. Come to a stop and smoke is billowing out of the hood. Pop the hood and the entire engine bay bursts into flames. I basically had to watch my baby burn to death... 4. Don't ever buy an Audi It gets worse: 1. 2005 Saabaru 9-2x Aero 2. street 3. Giving four buddies a ride home from the bar. Going about 60 through the tunnels in Duluth and switching from the right lane to the left, my driver's side front tire blows. The front end dipped to the left and the rear end came around before I had a chance to hardly try correcting it. Hit the wall head on at I'm guessing 55, the rear end came back around and hit the wall because of the momentum, then my car rolled across the highway out of my control to end up nose against the wall on the right side. Everyone way okay, somehow, but I had a little to drink that night too- which only made the night longer. That part ended up ok though. 3. Never drink and drive first of all, even tough I was under the limit and ended up ok. Second, always be prepared for anything. I never thought of anything like that ever happening to me, and it's been really tough. My insurence dropped me because it was the second nice car that was totalled while I was driving. I was on top of the world in a way when I had my saab, now I'm driving a '96 ford ranger with liability only.. Life can change quick.
