What I didn't say in the convo:
When I put the car, in reverse and reved it nothing happend, it felt as if it was in neutral (the RPM just reved up), then when I put it back in park and tried again it worked. So I think I fucked with the tranny. I may have fucked up my tranny too.

damn, at first I thought someone was on a Duc and hit a cinder block. that would suck! I remember how scary it is coming up on something right in front of you, gotta keep calm and duck around (in a bike, obviously. little bit more restricted in your lane in a cage)

damn road obstructions :? Im a little worried about my 325ic after I drop it a little. Shit like a cinder block though, what the fvck???!? I wouldnt clear that anyway even at stock height :shock:

[Ducati]

here's a pint outline hehe...

Damn.....holed oil pan. Been there, done that. It sucks too. Your gouge job looks more severe than mine. I was able to patch mine with JB Weld. Yours looks like a replacement is your only logical option.

Glad to hear you're ok and nothing worse happend. Of all things in the road....a cinder block.

Yeah, right on the exit the caltrans was doing repair work.

[Digitalwave]

Are you sure that wasn't just an oil "leak?" That is big enough that all the oil would just dump out. There is a chance you did considerable damage to your engine just like Armen.

[MR 325]

Was it the same one Armen hit or what, sheesh

[Ducati]

I'm sure I still had oil in it, because when I got home and parked the car there still was oil in it. This happend about 30 seconds away from my house.

Nah, armeN hit it on a different part of the freeway.

[DEV0 E30]

I'm never going to Glendale, California.

You guys need to not have concrete blocks on the road.
Or just need to know how to not hit them.

[armeN]

FUCK THE 5 PERIOD FUCKIN CALTRANS GET YOUR SHIT TOGETHER!!!

[Ducati]

Well this morning my step-dad drove my car into our driveway with zero oil in it ...

[MR 325]

That'll teach you to go on the 5
