Default Well another one is gone...

It appears I totaled my S2000 yesterday. The bodyshops quote was... "oh yeah go car shopping".

I ran across a deep stream of water on the service rd and the car came around... I thought I had caught it when the left front hit a short median, this brought me around more and across the median where a commercial van had no place to go so he hit the front right(removing the front suspension...), this spun me further and the back of his van now hit my right rear... I ended high centered on the median pointing the direction I was going...


The police office made the comment... wow the front and back are gone... but the passenger compartment is perfect.

Sounds like you are okay though, that's what matters. What are you going to shop for? If you aren't in a hurry, maybe wait and see what the S2K 2004 is all about.

BTW, got any photos? Especially of the driver/passenger seats? I'd like to see how well the car held up.

What is so hard about this statement to understand. Perhaps a picture needs to be drawn for you? His car ended up spun around and bounced into the other lane in front of oncoming traffic. Basic physics here. He was the object that was in the way and the other INNOCENT car struck him. Don't be a d*ck.

Why the hell is that so hard to understand ?

It may sound cliche, but it isn't. (I guess as you age you realize how insignificant some of these material things really are)
Sorry about the car, but very glad to hear you are OK.
Cheers,
Daniel
