Well ive been pretty out of it for the past week. Last wednesday, (1-24-07) i was driving to work goin about 55-60mph on somewhat of a highwayish road and something blew on the car, i dont know if it was suspension wise or what the deal was but suddenly i was losing control of my car. It swerved into oncoming traffic and so i yanked the sterring wheel to the right so i wouldnt hit anyone. The car did a 180 and my drivers door hit a tree, if that wasnt enough it bounced off the tree and flew into a ditch as both of my airbags deployed... I was just grateful that i did not hit anyone in oncoming traffic because it was rush hour and i would not be sitting here today, guarenteed.
Heres a few pix from the sceen of the accident:




Under closer observation at the junk yard...




And the last view i see of my car before it got taken to the insurance companies junkyard...


The other night i had to be taken to the Emergency Ward because i had horrible pains in my back and ever since i have been kinda couped up at home. Today i got to take my hardtop, radio, sirius, speakers and some other misc. pieces outta the car before the insurance company takes the car to thier junkyard, for someone to buy the car and try n restore it...

Its not all bad news tho, ever since i crashed the car ive been test drivin all kinds of cars, sti's, evos, g35s. all are nice but i decided to go with another s2000. i mean cmon i loved this car to death. Hopefully by this weekend this one will be in my garage


I already put a security deposit down on it, an 04 Silverstone. Its only got 20k miles as well and it'll look as good if not better than the old one.

Scary thing is, i was looking at my bill of sale for the car, i bought the car on 1-24-06. exactly 1 year and i got in an accident the same day.

So soon i will have my Volk Gold GT-Cs up for sale, but i know what all of you are asking, yes im keeping the hardtop and repainting it. heh just thought id throw it out there cuz i know itd be asked

 

wow crazy, something blew on the car? will they be able to tell you what it was after looking over it? hope those back pains aren't too serious and don't stay long...

 

Wow, glad you came out ok in the accident. How did you take just the HT and not the whole car without buying it back from the insurance company ?

 

Well, that's definatly NOT going to buff right out.

Sorry to see her go down like that, at least I got to drive it once before that happend.

Good luck with the new S.

 

Glad you are okay and on your way to a new S. Might I recommend a winter beater?

 

Glad to hear you're ok.

Libertyville is a good place to deal with. I almost traded in my S there for an M3. They sell and have quite a few S2k's there at all times.

about the backpains, I'd recommend seeing a chiropractor for a bit to help ease the tension in your back. After my accident I didn't feel to bad initially after the soreness went down. But later on down the road I got cramping pains in my lower back and neck. I don't think the chiro solved it per se, but it did help to ease the pain and helped relax the muscles. Plus your insurance should cover the expenses of that(if you have medical payments coverage).

 

whats the buy back on it?

 

oh my old baby... is now gone for ever.... sniff sniff..

well i am glad to hear you ar ok..

and i 2nd the chiropractor they work wonders

becks

 

you cannot buy back a car from insurance unless it is atleast 7 years old...thats what i was told.

i have an appointment at a chiropractor next week, thanks for the advice

donnie, i wish it was somethin i coulda controled but unfortunately goin that speed there was no way i could stop safely.

they said they were gunna sell the car at a private salvage auction, all i know is the car is somewhere in chicago now.

thanks for the concern guys
