      Einstein, however cool that is, its still a trike....for people without balance. Are you old?


      ;-)


      Good luck that will be a fun yet aggravating project!

      e30trooper, glad you are fine. Just from the pics I assumed you had been drinking with all this b-day talk! Glad to hear that is not the case. I think you got away with the cheapest damage you could have from that. I do wonder what needs fixed/straightened to fix the fender/door rubbing.

        Funny thing is the valance never got touched...Oil pan un touched. Cray shit doh
        And THIS is why you don't run mismatched, used, and bald tires on your car.

          I heard the real story from the passenger, the bald tire only played a small part in Benooper's little "Oh shit brah, "Linda is gonna be so pissed", my whole fucking world is ending" cause fast & fury misshap on a autotragic.

                  I'm 30. Its for commuting mainly and to pull my bike to the track. I would make my own ariel atom type vehicle but i don't want to add DOT safety regulations in to my design. Or have to jump through loop holes to register it. Its going to have a tow hitch. Straight euro status.

                            Ben did the tire explode or what? I've had a front left tire go flat on the freeway in our 96 camry, let go at 80 mph and I was still able to come to a complete stop at the next exit and pull over to change it

                            Best of luck man, at least everyone was ok. Even that pole looks like a very near miss

                                The fronts were a matching pair of hankooks and the rears are nexen n2000's . That shouldnt throw anything off.

                                To tell you the truth im not even sure how fast i was going, I know I tend to speed as it is but not crazy into a off ramp lol. Was going about 60 id say , wheels locked up about 60ft from the turn. no chance or return or saving it. If i pulled the e brake im sure i would have gone sideways into a poll and really r3vd my car. lol
