a big THANK YOU to the people that cared for my well being... but to all the other people, what the hell is with all the criticism.... i wrote that thread to see if ill feel better with the support of my fellow s2000 owners and to warn others with my story not to make the same mistake that i made.... All you guys act like you drive your s2000 at speed limit...come on....people like us all have that same need for the rush inside of us... I know that this was my mistake and i will learn and pay ALL consequences that follow... but GEEZZZ are you guys my freakin parents? some of you guys act like yall are SOOOO perfect, well im REAAALLY sorry for making a mistake.


P.S. to the people that understood my point of view...thanks

 

Damn, I made the same mistake before on another car (non-S2000) trying to engage through a U-turn at similar speeds. Lots of broken parts, but chassis untouched and the car was repairable to orig specs. I felt pretty invincible and had done stupid-ass maneuvers like this before. Didn't take into account the extra weight in the car which adversely affected handling.

Glad you're ok. Glad you didn't plow into anyone else either. Not worth taking someone's life and screwing up yours.

Here's a big hint that will help you with normal driving and the racetrack:

Slow in, fast out.

Try fast in on the track and you get slow out. Try that on the street, well...you already know.

 

Same thing happened to me. First month of owning the S, I crashed it because of showing off w/ a drift. One thing is for sure though, once you get into your first accident (you driving of course) you will always be aware of stupid a$$ mistakes and things you do. By the way, you should've just holla'd at the girl; I bet she thinks your an idiot for crashing in front of her.

 

I'm reminded of a saying that goes something like, "Good decisions are usually the result of experience. Unfortunately, experience is usually the result of bad decisions."

 

That saying reminds me of another one -

Take care!

 

Anyone who no longer feels this should think about trading for something with 4 doors maybe
LOL I think people were quick to condemn you because as S2Kguy said we all have selective memories, no-one who criticised you ever made a dubious decision, right?
but anyway you'll know better in future, no drifts on old tyres joking You'll be a more experienced driver next time you're in that situation after seeing your beautiful machine damaged like that, its just unfortunate that you had your learning experience in such a nice car.

Hope your back in an S2000 and in the land of VTEC soon

 

With all due respect, the tone and verbiage used in your original post does not read like the penitent words of one who has realized the gravity of his mistake.

It reads more like an old Mickey Spillane, "Mike Hammer" novel.

It impressed me as a thinly veiled attempt to obtain machismo-laden electronic high-fives for your recent excellent adventure gone wrong.

Glad your okay. Grow up before you get behind another steering wheel.

 

these are really good!! i may have to use these some time.
