So I was driving back to bellevue and somehow I lost traction, I felt my wheels spin free and then my ass spun around. And yes I know this sounds familiar.

I hit the steel barrier and broke though and rolled. So I believe totaled is the proper word.

I cannot find any reason why I spun, I wasn't really speeding, maybe 5 over, didn't change lanes, didn't shift... I was even keeping pace with the same guy next to me for miles. Its like I suddenly hit ice or oil. It happened to be in the corner right before it becomes 70mph so since it was a turn, when I lost grip, momentum did the rest. :thumbdn:

I will be going to get my SC, aftercooler, titanium catback, AEM EMS, boost gauge and AF gauge, alpine IDA-X303 off the car tomorrow. If want one wants me to save them or place dibs now, let me know. After going through to S2k's I don't think I want to wreck another so this will be my last one for a long while. If anyone wants to come help or grab what parts you want tomorrow, just let me know. I will end up selling it all eventually though,

I do have to say That for as bad as the accident was, the car protected me. The strong chassis really pays off.

Wheels are toast, definitely. I think the exhaust is good though. Its a Greddy/ trust ti single. I'm not going to be too picky, . I think it was 1200 new. honestly it is the best sounding exhaust I have heard. make me an offer. American goes for most everything I'm pulling. Doesn't do me much good anymore

I really prefer that days that I don't make the headlines, unless its "local man wins millions", but other than that, I go incognito. Well unless you heard be coming.

I'm keeping the shirt though, sorry, it has authentic battle damage now..

I have a peice of junk exhaust to replace your nice one if you need something to hang back on the car. Only item needed will be the rubber hangers. It's a home made duel with N1 style mufflers. Let me know. What about a header? did your car have an aftermarket header and test pipe? What size is your exhaust? I may be interested in the AEM EMS....
