I definitely haven't lost interest in fwd, they're still fun and I'm sure I will always like them, but it's definitely not a serious platform. basically what I'm trying to say is that there are absolutely no benefits that fwd has over rwd or awd.
holy s*** that was a mean ass pole there. the whole 1/4 panel and roof too! Man thats crazy, good thing you didnt get jacked up in that accident. It looks like the car held up well. Now for those wanting pillar guage pods they can see where the airbags come out of.
Wow man. That sux MAJOR a$$. But glad you're ok! You took quite a wack. I'll tell you what though - you'll probably feel like crap tomorrow. When I hit a tree, my knee swelled up and hurt like a b*** for a while afterward when it hit the dash. I hope you will be more fortunate. Count your blessings.
OK like you stated the stock tire did contribute to your problem but also I dont think the snow helped either. They are summer tires right? Anyway I am sorry for the loss and glad you are ok. Good luck with the future rides.
DAMN........thats a nasty spin out. In your pics, there is a 30mph sign in the backround...lol...you said you were going 40. With the condition of the road and such it was almost inevitable.. Glad your ok though. You should sell me your fuse box cover too... (drinks)
Also the car is now probably owned by either the scrap yard or the insurance agency, so selling parts off of it are not really up to the OP at this point.
