Alright, So as many of you might know I own a 90 GSX and 93 TSi, So 3 days ago, we had a pretty bad snow storm. Me and my girl friend were driving home from bowling and thats when the storm hit is hardest. So were driving, Going under the speed limit off course because the roads were absoloutley unseen. Next thing I know we go over a railroad track, the bump of the railroad track threw the GSX off spun us around and we ended up getting t boned by a Denali going about
35, from the impact from the denali hitting up threw the car into a ditch! So my poor like GSX is no more, its gone. The worst part is thats not all, so last night I was driving my 93 Talon TSi, and we got HIT WITH ANOTHER BAD SNOW STORM! but this time it wasnt the snow storms fault. So I was just driving getting ready to head home, and next thing I know my car starts to like jump. Its jerking back and forth so im getting worried so I pull over, look under the hood, Nothing really visiable wrong, so I go back in the car and I plug in my data logger just to see If I can see anything unusual there. But nope nothing, So I put my Talon back in 1st and started to go, Next thing I know 2 seconds later, it feels like it wants to come out of first, so I put it in second but then it pops out of second, so I keep trying 2-3 more times to get it to stay in second and it wont. So i pull over in a walgreens parking lot just hoping that my trans isnt toast. Just praying the god that it isnt toast, but in the back of my mind I aleady knew. So I put it in reverse and start to go and everything good, UNTIL IT LOCKS UP AND WONT COME OUT OF REVERSE!!!! So now Im out of both of my cars and ones in a junk yard and the others Stuck in reverse in a walgreens parking lot.

So the DSM Curse finally caught up to me!:notgood:
 
THAT SUCKS... bad like real bad. I bought my car an a week later the timing belt tensioner let go. So that cost me bank i needed a whole new head. Then the week after it gets out of the shop the turbo let go too. luckily my buddy had a spare t to small to use. Then the clutch two weeks later on the way home on the freeway i went to go to fifth and bam click pop pedal went dead and no more clutch left.. And if it couldnt get any worse twenty minutes out of the shop i got rear ended.. I totally feel for you man.
 
ya it sucks im trying to find a used trans for cheap but doubt i will find anything....
 
That sucks I lost 3 DSM'S in 2005 a 90 gsx (wich I still have in 100000 pices) a 91 gs and a 96 spyder due to hurricane Katrina. Also lost a motorcycle and a mirage. OHH and the house and everthing I owned LOL
