e30 is gone!

[ben312]

Knew it wouldn't be long until this thread turned into a partout thread hahaha. Is the rear sway okay? Or did it get the same treatment as pretty much everything else on the car?

edit: nvm, looked at the pics again, everything is toast.

wouldnt say everything. the seats look ok, the front wheels look stright, parts of the engine could be saved. maybe the head lights.

[deutschman]

JESUS MAN! thats bad! thank god your ok. hope you get better fast and the same streak of luck that saved you throws a new car your way.

Good to see you are alright, but that sucks about your car. Get all healed up and get another e30.

glad to see you're ok man, get better soon

[Unearth078]

you should fight those tickets... 3 tickets and an accident...? imagine your insurance.
really you have witnesses. use them to your advantage you dont have any dumb tickets prior do you?

[z31maniac]

For fucks sake, you did a number on that car!

Sober, dont really know exactly what happened

You were driving to fast for conditions or your skill level.

[Jean]

That's impressive!

Good thing you didn't hit the telephone pole square in the door. We wouldn't be having this discussion if you did.

Hang that bracelet up, it'll remind you to keep on top of everything on the road. Good luck with the recovery and replacing the car!

My brother is going so if i can get out of bed ill ride with him, thanks for the offer though.

[xwill112x]

yep, no problem.

Wow glad your ok. Sorry about your car. I know you were one of the few others with an 88 ix. My friend just rolled his honda civic going 70 mph on a dirt road. He rolled 3.5 times and landed on a county fence. He got away with only a scrath on his forearm

You lost control of an all wheel drive car on dry pavement and hit with a shitload of force. You also "don't know what happened". That statement right there should scare you. I've been driving for 14+ years, lots of track time, autox, inclement/dirt conditions and other stuff. I've spun cars, I've had "offs", all sorts of little things. In each and every one of these incidents, I can tell you exactly what I did wrong, and why it happened. You took an underpowered AWD car that understeers massively by design, and spun it off at a high rate of speed, and you have no idea why.

You were driving stupid and way over your head.

glad you're ok, but I have no idea how you managed to do that. firstly, you had be going way too fast. it almost sounds like you panicked when the car got a little loose, and lifted off the throttle, which will throw any E30 into snap oversteer (yes even the ix). By that point it's too late and nothing is going to save you. both feet in and hold on..

I'd reccomend some track time for your next car where they teach you how to recover and why you lost control. I've spun my ix a # of times, and every time, it was lifting off the throttle that caused it. luckily I've only ever done that in a closed enviroment.

I have to agree with charlie, the fact that you have no idea how it happened should scare you.
