Was your MP3 in an accident?

[Newf]

Just click yes if it was. Just curious what kind of numbers were talking about. There may have been 1500 mp3's made, but maybe only 1250 of them are still accident free.

i'd hardly call mine an accident, it only scratched the bumper, but yes, it was "hit"...hehehehe

as far as crunched up, no, my mp3 HAS been lucky

DAMN DEER!

at the time i'm writing this... 8 ppl have voted... and its an even 50-50 split... which is kinda scary... even tho its still a VERY small number... half of the owners that replied have been in accidents... anyway.. heres a kind of amusing story for you guys

A deer hit me... I swear it!! i didnt hit him.. he hit me... check it out

I was driving down Angeles Crest here in souther california (in the Angeles National Forrest)... and it was the middle of the night. Now if anyone from around here knows the road... its a really windy mountainous road. near the bottom there is a (going downhill) turn to the right, w/ mountain on the right side, and cliff to the left... halfway through the turn... there is a pullout on the right side.... so even though the turn is say... 120 degrees, its actually more like a 80-90 degree turn if you pull into the turnout.... and keep in mind... you cant see s*** because your turning w/ mountain on your right side... so as im coming around... this BIG ASS GOD DAMN male deer w/ HUGE antlers juts out from the turnout RIGHT next to the mountain (so i didnt see him till it was almost too late) I swerved to the left around him... but the bastard kept running... SMACK right into the side of my baby... took off the right side mirror, dented the two side doors and front fender... so i swerve left, he hits me, swerve back right, left, right... (remember this is all in like 2 1/2 seconds) and i end up straight perfect back in my lane. luckily... as my driving skills are honed I handled it well and didnt go off the cliff. (lol.. this may sound conceited or something, but i am an excellent driver... ive had ppl compliment me in both street and racing) Also... I believe that had I been in a vehicle without the superior suspension and handling of the MP3... I would be dead... so the deer hit me... thats pretty funny... but heres the funnier/scarier part... after i stopped... the deer was cool.. no blood, it ran off... i got out and looked at the damage... then looked for the mirror on the side of the road... couldn't find it.. we (my friend and i) searched for a half hour and didnt find it... we decided the deer probably had it attatched to his antlers... the next day.. we get in the car.. THE MIRROR IS IN THE BACK SEAT!!!! he was sitting shotgun, luckily w/ the window open... had the window been closed, glass could have shattered all over and killed him... he's also lucky as the deer hit, he leaned towards the center of the car so he wasnt right up next to the window where the mirror flew in through

anyway thats my story... anyone else got anything funny/scarry/interesting?? or even just weird?

I had the smallest of accidents involving snow. I hadn't put my snow tires on yet and out of nowhere a big snowstorm hit Toronto when I was there...early December as I recall. That was when I found out first hand that the Dunlops are pure crap on snow. I was on the 401(I think that's what it was) and was all over the place.

I drove as slow as I could but at one point my car started sliding..not forward....sideways! I couldn't do a damn thing about. I ended up giving the lightest of bumps to another car...fortunately we hit wheel to wheel and I didn't have any damage except for a little scuffing on the rim.

see... now that sounds like fun... i mean, if it wasnt your car, and you were just out for destruction... lol... if i had a car that i didnt want, didnt need, was free... etc etc... i would LOVE to go find a big fat patch of snow/ice and just play around... haha, do a burnout on snow HAHAHA dig little holes into the ice.... of course i would have to make sure that i dont die... cuz you know... as fun as no traction is, it could be dangerous in the wrong hands... but you know... whatever =) lol anyway.. ive never had to drive in snow/ice... rain is the worst ive encountered (thats why i love so cal) I should take that deer out on some ice and watch his ass slip and fall GRRRR i dont like deer! oh yah.. but like a week later we had a bbq at my buddy's shop, and had some venison.. so its all good... he hit my car, i ate one of his friends

Peace

I have been fortunate enough to still be accident free, but last week some bastard poped my car. They broke out the drivers side window and took my deck and tube. When the insurance Co. had it fixed, the body shop just did more damge. They scratched my fender and my wheel. I am waiting to hear from them on tuesday to see when they'll fix it. I got the upgraded kenwood put in since only the dealer has the Z828 now and the upgraded one was cheaper from a audio shop. The new one is kick ass, there's a car video and other one's you can download for it too.

 

[londart]

yes

Yeah I got rear ended but not much damage thank god, but it cost his ins. $1500us to fix it they had to special order the rear kit pice from Japan.

i wouldnt call mine a crash i did however get scrapped all along the rear passenger door from some dumb ass pulling out of a parking spot.. he didnt leave info so that leaves me to pay a 250 dollar deductable

at least you got away with half of MY deducible.

true but my insurance would prolly scare you away being AAA premium and a 90 mph ticket on there with another ticket hidden by traffic school
