Wrecked MSP by me

[MrDiggler]

I'd like to recommend everybody read a book called "Drive To Survive" by Curt Rich.

It's short, and it's an easy read. But it gives you a lot of tips about defensive driving, always knowing about your surroundings, etc.

It also teaches you some crazier stuff like 180 degree foward & backward spins, how to properly ram a car, and the like (only to be used in true emergency situations like when your life is in danger.....although doing a bootlegger's hairpin in a parking lot is fun )

Best of all it's only like $15.

How 'bout a link to where we can purchase it?

DAMN, I go to school by Glades & Federal Highway...that's really close I think. I'm glad to hear you're ok, which is probably thanks to the airbags. That's only the 2nd time I've seen a wrecked MSP where they actually deployed.

That is messed up...GLAD to hear you are OK.

Vultures....wanting to part out his car.... at least start a seperate thread or PM him.

 

[Hercdriver]

can you buy it back for a dollar?

He wasn't being a vulture and How 'bout a link to where we can purchase it? was meant for the book not the speed. Easily mistaken though.

 

[lemacfar]

heh.. thanks guys, i dont think ill buy it back, not enough parts on the car to make the money back

The rear is in good shape even though i was rear ended

 

[mspeedpro]

[MSPinVA]

Eh, I'd at least take off the wheels/tires. It's easy, and you can make some money back off of them. There's at least one thread here that's looking for wheels......

poor you, dude. did the witnesses get the license plate from schmuck? was your speed brand new? that effing sux big time. i'm ready to fight for you. (headshake)
How are you feeling now?
(sad2)

 

[lemacfar]

Heh.. leg hurts pretty bad after 5 days... and no they didn't get the license plate and it was brand new 5 months old just hit 11000 miles that day... FYI i poped the hood today (alot of effort actually) and everything is pushed back, no more hold to see the turbo,

As far as a new car i dont know yet, i woulda loved a mazdaspeed miata but mazda sucks w/ their service so i think im going to crawl back to mitsubishi (across the street from mazda) and evolve a little?

I feel for you man. My girlfriend got hit by a guy backing a trailer into the street, spun her around and she nearly went through a fence and into a wall of pvc. The man gave police his insurance information only for us to find out that his insurance expired almost a year ago.... Bastard! We thought she was screwed because she only had liability, but she was very lucky to have uninsured motorist. The worst part was the fact that it took 6 months before her claim was over and she got her check in the mail. I hope yours doesnt take that long man. And seriously if I get hit by someone without insurance he better be a big mother because its going to take almost all my strength to not beat the s*** out of him.

Actually me and my gf witnessed somebody clipping somebodys car in the mall parking lot and she pulled out and reparked, well we got her liscense plate and gave all the info we had to the driver of the truck, (left our number and what kind of car the person had, liscense plate and such, said we would help out since we were a witness) The person was so happy that we were so nice to help them out that she actually sent us a 50.00 gift certificate in the mail to the mall. Even though the police said that they couldnt do anything!

Sorry for the thread jack.., hope everything works out in a timely manner.
