dude man bro...

[bataangpinoy]

whoa. thats a sucky thing to have happen.

[Philo]

I said, "dude man bro" when I saw the wreck pictures. Lesson learned. lol Life is awesome.

BTDT. Mine was a 242 Volvo sideways into a tree with the right front of the car. About 60mph. Spun the car around so fast that the right rear hit the same tree on the other side and blew out the rear window. All 3 of us walked away but that crash used to wake me up at night thinking of what could have been.

Glad your in one piece.

ayy baba! glad your okay mayne. My Peugeot got wrecked twice in 3 months, i know how it feels. Now you can swap errythang over, you have a lot of zee good parts.

[george graves]

frack! Well at least you're all good. Sounds like you'll be able to move all the good bits over to the next car. I assume you're going to trash the struts?

Fortunately the fence was not my doing lol. It was already like that, so I didn't do any property damage. Cop just gave me a "unsafe turning motion" ticket and didn't charge me for speeding. He was threatening me with hit and run since I didn't report it right away and waited until the morning to get my head straight and figure out what to do, but he let it go and just gave me that one ticket.

And it was oversteer, fishtailed a little bit and 4-wheel drifted into the curb I think.

Anyway I found a lady selling a perfect condition (in terms of body/paint) zinnot red 4dr (yes another 4dr!!) e30 that's not running, it's automatic, for $300. So I'm gonna pick that up tomorrow hopefully, my friend is gonna help me tow it home, and begin work.

snap over steer comes quickly. especially with poly bushings and coils.

I too took out a fence with my old car. After my accident, I didn't have anything behind the rear window. Everything was completely smashed. And it all happened 7 days after a complete paint job, and all new bushings/ control arms/ tie rods, and a bunch of other stuff. Sucks. You'll be driving nice an careful for the next six months or so. Trust me on this one. I never want to experience what I experienced and neither do you I'm sure. The cop thought for sure I was dead but I popped my front door off and walked out with some gnarly cuts and bumps on my head. My shoes even came off in the accident. You'll be alright man I promise.

oops, saw previous posts on wheels, my bad

[jahnaboi]

I believe his insurance will be covering that (property damages), if he has insurance that is (pretty sure he does).

[bear]

dude those wheels are sweet, are those rays? nice job on the fence, do they make you pay for that in cali?

[Garageaholic]

Oh boy, that's rough. You could probably salvage the wheels and MAYBE some of the suspension, but that's a stretch.

I'm glad you're alright. I know exactly how you feel, though.

[jahnaboi]

Doubt you were doing 28mph, actually you might have been. Glad you're okay though. Sorry to say, the car doesn't make the driver, the driver makes the car. Based on the suspension setup, you weren't ready to correct the over steer. Doesn't take much effort to get sideways on a stiff suspension setup. Like you said, lesson learned. Hopefully you find another e30 and all the parts/most of the parts are salvageable.

[e30nub]

Damn! Only 28 mph?!?! That's nuts! Did you just go straight off the cliff or what? Glad you're ok man. Cars are replaceable and lives aren't. Remember that! Did you understeer or oversteer?

[Stephen]

OUCH

in b4 thatll buff out
