Angry When life flashes before your eyes...

So Im heading home from work around 10:40 P.M. heading south on the turnpike enjoying my ride home cruising, as I get closer to my exit on 120th street a car just jump into my lane. I jerk the wheel not to much but the road was wet so the car does what it normally does and looses a little traction on the rear but this is old news for me and so I proceed with the usual steps of a slight counter steer and blip the gas to bring the car back to traction but apperantly that didn't work to well... As I realized the car was already going everywhere like a wild bull and headed towards hell. I just closed my eyes I prayed that it should be quick and painless. I did not even feel the impact against the light pole it cleaned out of the ground. All I heard was noise and that the car would not stop moving, a few hours later (thats what it felt to me) the car stopped and I opened my eyes, I could not believe that I was ok. After a few minutes of putting myself back together and checking my undies I tried to get out but the door was jammed. I crawled out the window and was what has become of my baby. ...









I will not stress this enough but guys, specially those new to this car. DO NOT OVERLOOK YOUR TIRES. Keep an eye on them. After 3 years with this car I was stupid enough not to look at them lately and it came back to bite me hard. Learn from my mistake. It takes only a few minutes (not even) Check your tires. This cars are savages with tires. Well carefully and Im fine for now but . I have to start S2000 hunting, thats the of my life.

Sorry to hear that man, I'm glad you came out of the accident with your life, since in the end, its what's most important. You'll be back in the S soon. Hey looking at the brightside, you might want to look into getting the CR.

The ****er kept going, I don't even know if he saw anything but I think he must have cuz HIDs aiming everyhwere are easy to spot. Ultimately I blame myself for this, my tires were my biggest mistake. I got a ticket for reckless driving, the cop says I couldn't just wipe out like that unless speeding. Believe it or not it was one of those night I was not speeding and just cruising home from work tired. SHIT happens even when you are not looking for it. Remember to keep an eye on the baby so SHIT has less of a chance getting you. Thanks for the support guys. I will be S2000 hunting but first I will be S less for a few months until I pay off some stuff I need to pay, which includes my TEIN FLEX that got destroyed.
