I'll go first. This is the result of a 30mph spin that sent my right rear into a median. I spun at about 40mph taking evasive action to avoid some old beyotch who pulled right out in front of me...

Toe In? Uh, uh.

I learned something through this experience, and I know we all do every time we get in the seat... I wish only good things for all of my fellow club members... and for those that were fortunate enough to walk away from crashes like me, let's try to show people what can happen when things go wrong.

Peace!

Here's one more...



Sorry... I should add that both me, my wife and the car are all 100% now. It took my dealer about two and half weeks to get all the parts needed to replace the right rear suspension assembly from soup to nuts, but they did it right and you would never know it happened...

Take care, my friends!

Good that there doesn't seem to have been any sheetmetal damage.

Glad everything is back to normal. The funny thing was that I was looking at your picture and couldn't see what was wrong
I think I need to clean my glasses!

Strake removal 101...thankfully, this was all that happened. I reattached it, but it's still kind of broken. Gonna put Larry's old Comptech sideskirts before next season...

OK, for all these amateurs out there...here is a shot or two of my first car, which is now the Body Werks NOS's and blown S2000, in case you didn't know. Some people may not know about this, which took place about a year ago, Jan. 20, actually. For the whole story, check this out...

Anyway, here are the pics...warning, not for the faint of heart. It still hurts me to look at them.
