Default Thank you everyone

Last Wednesday I was involved in an accident. As you can see the s2000 didnt make it.. a lady basically did a pit maneuver on me and I went into a semi. She was behind me then moved into the lane next to me where the semi Was stopped waiting to turn right. She slammed on her brakes and swerved into my lane hitting my back tire and spinning me into the back of it. I’ve learned a lot from this community. Everyone I’ve talked to about anything has always been so friendly and helpful. So thank you to everyone. And please be careful out there

Damn!! Amazing that you survived. Hope any injuries were minor. Looks/looked like a beautiful S. In the aviation/pilot community after a survivable crash, we say "that'll buff right out"!

Glad you are okay. Nail that woman for the full value of the car if you have problems with insurance.
How fast were you going? I am surprised the Pit hit would make the S spin like that at low speeds.
BTW, you probably know the engine and transmission would be viable for sale.

I was going around 40-45mph. I think what made it turn so much and fast is when she slammed her brakes she jerked her wheel. Yeah I just got the engine redone with inline pro about a month ago...i was still breaking it in

Scary. Glad to hear you are OK, and it's fortunate no one was in the passenger seat at the time.

man, if you had a passenger with you, I'd hate to think what the result would have been. Very sad to see your car wrecked.
hope you come back!

Hard to see those photos. Glad you're ok and you didn't have a passenger. I hope the insurance comes through.

OMG! Thank God you didn't have a passenger or that the drivers side didn't go into the truck first. That must have been terrifying and I'm sure your life flashed before your eyes! Hopefully you were not injured too - looks like a lot of intrusion into the cabin right over to the drivers side. Man oh man!
