Crashed the S
Well, it's definately a bad day. I crashed the S in a ditch. Ripped the rear bumper off, the front one also. The side skirts are cracked. The one fender in the front is a little bent, not bad. Also the Rad and the other cooler thingy is pushed in. The frame for the Rads are bent, and it's leaking Engine Coolant. The actual car frame is fine. No motor damage.
The car did a complete 360 and flew into the ditch and went a little airborne, and flew over a curb. I don't really need to explain how fast I was going, it was coming out of a sharp turn. MY BAD.
Anyways I need help finding a good place to buy a new Body kit. I don't want to spend a fortune, but I don't want crap either. What a bummer, a couple of more weeks and it would have been sitting pretty in the garage for the winter.

Thanks RED MX 5. Everybody does stupid things one in awhile. It just happens that mine was unfortunate. I understand that I was stupid, I sur don't need others letting me know. It sounds worse then it really is.

Sorry to hear about your misfortune. Good luck getting it right again.

Anyway, I'm glad you got the message.
I'm not sure you're being fair with yourself, because we all make mistakes, and while there are few "smart" mistakes, it's not necessarily a sign of stupidity. It just makes us feel dumber than dirt when we do something like this. In reality, a driver error can happen at any time, in traffic, on the track, or anywhere else, and it only proves that we're human, and falable. As long as we don't let this kind of thing happen in a place where we are putting others at risk I have a hard time seeing it as stupid. We pays our moeny and takes our chances, and hopefully our judgement keeps us out of trouble most of the time.
To err is human; To flame, divine.
