Sorry to hear about your accident .
But the s2000 can be a tricky car . You have to learn how to drive it . I guess this is/was your first RWD car ?
Its alot of fun but if you are not used too it , it can be very dangerous .
I hope u can work things out .

I accelerated from 2nd - 3nd, at +- 60mph = 100km/u
and then my back spinned;. I thought i could keep it steady..
but then my car turned a few times.. en hit the wall in the tunnels 5x
...
-is it because of self-esteem?
-no experience?
-the way was slippery at that place..
...
-how can I cheer myself up a bit...
because the only thing that keeps me alive now is my family..
suicide was nearbye

Second, the street was slippery and you were at the wrong gears for conditions. The car is light and the rear tire is wide, if the street surface is wet and/or icy you should shift gear a low RPMs, around 3k or 4k.

Are you sure the streets were dry? It's highly unlikely for the car to spin the way you described if the pavement were dry (assuming there are no other variabilities)
Anyway, sorry to hear about your loss. Next time, consider safety before everything and I sincerely hope you somehow manage your financial situation.

I hate that feeling..... when you step out of the car after a crash... knowing that you are physically OK, nothing broken, but after that CRUNCH (or multiple) you know that it's just going to HURT financially.
I crashed my S2k on the N

A few days later now, I feel a bit better, knowing that things could be better,
but also could turn out worse...
It was all my mistake,
I should have driven more careful in this conditions,
I thought the road was dry, but it wasnt everywhere
but thinken is not good,.. we have to "know"..
Now I know that I will manage my problems,
and that God will help me fix this, he wanted to let me learn from my errors,
and change my personality to become a better person..
I have to change from being a freak and addicted person to a "lover"...
I must tread my life with respect and be happy I'm still here to write this message..
so maybe it can help other S2000 owners..
Good luck to you guys
and thank you
