I slammed my car into a brick wall at approxiametly 120mph.
I managed to brake and slow my self down, but I still hit.
The road was wet from rain that had just freshly fallen, I was not very familiar where I was exactly speeding.
I think I must have slowed my self considerably before hitting the wall because if I would have hit at 120 the bricks would have tore through the windshield and killed me.I thank god I did not get hurt, I walked out without a single scratch, except for my feet that were numb.
My car is trashed, the entire front is gone(hood,side fenders,front bumper,radiator,windshield, roof is slightly caved in, and a large gash on the drivers side. :cry:

I hit a sidewalk before I hit the wall which exploded my front tires and wrecked my wheels.I wanted to know since the car is FWD did the sudden impact damage the transmission?I hope not.

ALWAYS WEAR YOUR SEATBELT:thumb:
I know if I had not, I would not be writing this down right now.

The only good that came from this is that my parents did not want me to take the engine out to paint and modify but know I have an excuse to go wild on my car.

I am sorry DSMTuners that I have disgraced our great site.
What made the largest impact on me was towing the car home and finding the grey DSMTuners decals in my mailbox.:cry: Ouch!
 
No sh!t...I find it hard to believe that a car which hit a brick all doing 120 mph can be repaired, you're one lucky f*ck if the frame isn't bent! Good luck, glad your not hurt...
 
I'm glad you are ok man......

Now for the real talk......I was an EMT and I'm studying to be a Medic, so beleive me I've seen this before. WTF were you thinking going 125mph? Yes these cars a very safe, that's why they are so heavy. Man I have seen to many families have they kids, moms, and dads taken from them because people do stupid crap like this. Not to mention that, you said it was wet! People often wonder why cops are the way they are, well here is your reason! You are lucky you walked away, and you are VERY lucky that it was just your car and not someon else you hit. I'm truley disappointed in you, and anyone for that matter that will put themselves or another in danger by driving like this.......!
 
I wanna see some pics!! did you have insurance? are you still a DSmtuner>? if you have insurance your wreck could be fixed for $500, you could of filed a police report then called insurance and told them what happend, If u dont have insure you out prob. 10,000 AND that SUX ! i feel for you man i got in a minor accident filed a claim took the money bought a CF hood, Projectors Z3's and a body kit (no money to paint car!) but insurance pays itself off atleast in my case it has ive gotten more money back from my insurance Co. then i have paid them LOL!!!
 
Scrap the car and get a beater so you can't drive fast anymore there might be alot more damage than can be seen I hit a car sliding on the ice and I wasn't even going fast but a new fender and headlight is all I need.
