On my way to work this morning, not doing anything crazy. I proceed to enter the on ramp to 101 loop via a long sweeping turn. Well, I round the turn and another car has just merged into my lane via the opposite direction which I didn't see until I came out of the overpass. I swerve to the left, start to lose it and was heading for the dirt/ditch on the left so I correct right and the back end swung around. I jammed both feet in, but to no avail and ended up doing a 540 spin into the meter light, 2 saguaro cacti, and ended up into the fence. Top was down and the police on seen told me I was lucky to be alive because those cacti I hit almost came down into the cabin. Both airbags deployed and the whole car is pretty effed up. I'm a little shaken up and a tad sore but overall good and very thankful I'm still here. Unfortunately I got cited for "Failure to control speed to avoid a collision." Thats pretty ghey considering I was traveling under the speed limit, but the officer said they are required to give it because I destroyed state property. So traffic school here I come.

Here are the pictures I took with my cell.

 

Damn Zach, that sucks. I have an idea of what that experience was like, kinda when I totalled my Civic a few years ago. I can't see the pics yet because of stupid workplace firewalls, but I'll check it out when I get home.

The world says goodbye to another S....

 

Glad you're okay.
What tires are those?

 

Barum Bravius or some shit like that. Really hard tires...and they're 225 and not 245 which is the actual contact path of our oem potenza s02s. Tires were gonna be ordered monday too.

 

Oh man, sorry to hear that... That sucks a lot...

 

Man I too am sorry to hear that. I have had a car totalled before when someone rear ended me, It was an old 84 accord which was no where near as nice as yours.
But I know what you mean by being kind of shaken up.

Good luck dealing with the insurance company too, I know all too well that it is a chore in itself.

At least you are ok, which is the most important thing.

 

time to buiy phils i guess eh? sorry to hear that man. best of luck to ya, and don't forget mine is for sale

 

Glad you're okay, I had an oversteer crash myself a while back. That car is totaled, no question. It's track whore time.

Glad to hear you are ok. Cars can always be replaced.


How much for the takatas and roll cage?
