[alexdoubleu]

Just wondering but what kind of vehicle did you hit?

i hit a pickup truck.....well, kinda slid under it, hit the spare tire, and bounced back out.....almost NO damage done to the truck. I was going aabout 25-30 mph

Sorry for your loss, but I do agree with nwvb bmw, hopefully you can turn this into a learning experience on looking ahead and giving yourself enough room when you drive.

Sorry for what happened, but I agree with these guys. Hopefully it wont happen again. Looking forward to another build thread;)

Sucks. One of the first things a lot learn is following too close. If I am in any kind of traffic I leave multiple car lengths in front of me. Of course random people will dive bomb in front of me and slam on the brakes but that is better than people stopping short. Live and learn. It definitely sucks.

sorry bro

[CHIF8008]

did the same but i had time to slam my brakes and slide a bit before hitting. just pulled it out- still looks like crap, but im cheap

sorry man

[HarryPotter]

Fucking beat me to it damnit, I can't contribute shit.

That's no light hit, had to be at least 40 mph.

Damn that cop is HUGE.

[RainierHooker]

That sucks man, I hate to see a silver E30 go to the yard...

eta brakes? if so i hated those brakes sooo much.

Que? Etas have the same brakes as any other E30 except the '84/85 318i and the M3.

That sucks. Maybe no you will learn to look ahead when you drive.

maybe you should learn when to shut the fuck up. on another note.. sorry for your loss bro, hope you get things worked out.

Really, my E46 was totaled by someone who was not paying attention and rear ended me while I was waiting to pull into my driveway. The OP is lucky that he learned his lesson in a $1500 e30 and at a lower speed with little or no injuries.
