To live and die in L.A, California
I crashed my dsm going about 20 mph nothing to bad, my fmic is fine but my sub frame (radiator support) is bent so when my fans go on they rub on my turbo and stop how should i fix this prob?
 
I haven't crashed myself, but i've been crashed into a couple times. Both times the body shop straightened the car out (the 2nd time the car was undriveable)
 
i use to have this 95 auto eclipse rs i put into a ditch about 40 by the time it went airborne....the ditch was about 4 feet lower then the road ...it sucked but it happens
 
Havent really crashed yet... I had 5 people in it, being a complete moron going 65 on a road I shouldnt have been doing more than 40 on, way curvey. Back end slid out, 180, managed to keep it on the road through the curve, then went into the grass on the opposite side of the road, 180 back onto the road. Man was that an experience. My old honda accord saw a 5 foot drop going about 50, got ran off the damn road. Car was fine amazingly and I went off this drop sideways!
 
yeah,i crashed,I'm pretty good at it.Let me just tell you the last time.Well i had just gotten my talon a few months ago.This was the first Turbo all wheel drive car I've had after a long time of dreaming.There's this beautifully curvy road on my way to my folks house in Fremont.it's in the middle of the mountains,the area is called sunol.Everytime i took this road there was always a basterd sunday driving on it.Until one day i finally got it all to my self.It was memorial day.Anyways,I'm headed thru the turns,not crazy,but not slow either.so i hit a series of S turns right after the bridge that goes over the river.right before the S turns there's a beautiful straightaway.I got a Collin Mcrae attack and started going pretty fastthen i take a turn that said 30 at about 75.I could of made the turn if i could of used both sides of the road but since it was a blind turn i decided not to.Anyways I'm trying to negotiate thetight right turn but it closes in at last moment to a change of altitude as well.So my car goes from FWD to RWD and it starts pointing to the right kinda sideways and if the wheels decide to grip I would be headed over the cliff,so i try to correct towards the other way,were the mountain is.So after a couple of fishtails and me not being able to correct,I finally hit the mountain.I also only bent the radiator support and it had to totally be replaced.This all happened in a matter of seconds, i got thru this curve daily,and always remember that instance.You could still see my tire marks a couple of months ago.I blame the falkens,the falkens blame me.be carefull out there guys.keep it on the track.or PS2.peace.
 
ok his question was have you ever crashed... something like this happened to me, when i bought the car the drivers side front end was pushed in, what i did was take a crowbar and pulled it out myself, if you can manage to keep the speed slow, you can get it to the right position.... wiht me it was just the bumper so it wasnt that bad...
 
I've never REALLY crashed, but the closest I've come to a 'crash' was I was trying to pull my Eclipse outta a tight spot in between my boat and garage. I was slowly backing out and misjudged the room between my car and the boat. Drove the tail lights into the prop of the boat and smashed out the driver side tails. My parents learned that I knew some more vocabulary then they are used to that day. :D
 
i have had my dsm for about 2 month now and i haven't technically crashed but Ive hit 2 animals on the SAME EXACT ROAD different times. There is this road by my house that is 5 miles long and pretty straight. No cops sit on it because it's state police jurisdiction. State cops can really care less around my house about it and they never go there. So naturally me and my friend race up and down and pass car's because there are passing lanes. the road is called route 993. Well the first time i was with my friend and he was in his 3k and we were going about 110 down the road and saw a white cat sitting there in the middle of the road and i swerved to miss it and hit something else :(. It was night granted and apparently there was a grey cat on the other side the side which i swerved to and hit it instead of the white one. My friend ran it over after i did. I felt bad and wanted to see what it was i hit because at that point i didn't know. I turned around and went back and pulled over and got out of my car only to realize my drive side foglight was gone. I no longer felt bad for the cat and was extremely pissed about my foglight.. OEM foglights are not cheap. So then about 2 weeks later I'm going down the road only doing 50 the speed limit is 45 granted and i hit a damn raccoon that ran in front of me. I get out of my car only to see that my OTHER foglight was hanging. Its still good but the bracket broke and the side of the foglight that attaches to the bracket cracked off. The only thing holding it was the wire. SO i have no foglights and don't plan on buying new ones unless i find someone around me with OEM foglights for cheap.
 
I ended my 91 gsx's life in the back end of some lady's geo tracker 7 years ago. She pulled out in front of me and stopped to make a turn at an uneven intersection on a highway. My gsx needed a new front clip. Her tracker's frame was broken. If you have to crash it at least win the damage war. And wear your seat belt. :thumb:
 
Got rear ended and fractured my f*$@ing neck once. If they can pull out a rear end, they should be able to pull out a front. Stupid lady loked down to light a cigarette. At least she was smart enough to tell the cop " I looked up and he was just there!"
