e30 + realllly wet road +35mph + tree = me crying....

[Mot]

Im fucking besides myself.... I was down in eugene, giving my freind a ride over to Lane Community college, I was driving and hit a huge wet patch of road right on a sharp turn when i was slowing down, car went sideways... almost corrected it, right then I hit the curb and slid into a fucking tree nicely placed in the divider for me to hit. Smashed the rear quarter panel in about 2 inches... Got lucky and far as I can tell every thing in the rear is fine. Ted and Ken are coming over to check it out. Gonna post pictures soon.

that sucks man he just got the car too.....

[Mot]

its not totalled, ted will be posting pics soon.

[KenC]

I'd say it's pushed in a little more than 2", however, the damage appears to be cosmetic. That is, there doesn't appear to be any damage to the suspension components.

[Ryan Stewart]

If it isnt totallted can it still be considered "r3vved?"

That sucks man, hopefully its resigned to cosmetic and can be fixed.

[Sean]

Dang, that's terrible man! I hope it's fixable for not too much! :shock:

I thought more often than not rear qp=totaled.

[nando]

yeah it's been raining like balls out here too. pretty much have to stick to the speed limit in my car or risk having the car pull slightly to one side. :roll:

btw: the ix eats your lunch in slick conditions :P

ps hope it's not too bad, nice early cars are pretty rare.

[Jordan]

Way to go Tom! What was that? 2 weeks?

Quarter panel damage = totaled.

[Digitalwave]

That didn't last very long.

Please give me credit when using my phrase.


its R3ved.

[Jand3rson]

That sucks Tom, it really does. I'm sorry to hear that, hopefully everything will be alright.

Quarter panel damage = totaled.

That may be. But it doesn't always mean it's dead. :D
