Default my turn... crashed!

So I was going home last night heading West on Sunset when I see a classic, fully restored Honda S600! A young guy was driving it with his an older guy in the passenger seat, who turned out to be his dad. I look over and said "Hey nice car." The guy replied "Thanks, wanna run it?" I said "Alrite!"

The roads were wet with light rain but I figured oh what the hell!

So the light turned green, I dropped the hammer and took a big jump off the line. Hitting redline, I shift into 2nd with a 5 car lead and increasing. Then suddenly a WOOSH sound came out of the S600 (maybe NOS?) and he comes along side and passes me. Upshift into 3rd and I'm getting killed.

We'll going over 110MPH towards the 826 on ramp. The S600 suddenly loses the rear end and I t-bone him at full speed. Air bags deploy, we careen off the on-ramp, I nailed the guard rail and flip over. Finally the car landed upright on the driver's side.

The cops came, we didn't tell them that we were racing since we probably would have gone to jail. We blamed it on the wet roads.

Everyone is OK, I'm sore and beat up but Whitie is totalled. The rear axle is broken, suspension on all 4 sides are damaged, top paritally caved in, even my new Amuse exhaust is bent.

I'll post the picture I took of the accident later on when I download it off my digicam.
