Totalled my car...Figures...

Maybe you should have thought of that as you were speeding around the corner? All I'm saying, and like everyone else told Tom.....if you can't pay the fine, don't do the crime. I'm tired of hearing how everyone wants to get out of it for this and that reason....well, if you can't afford to have insurance skyrocket, drive normal. That's all....

I would try to get out of it. The fines are going to be expensive along with the insurance hike. From what I have heard, a wreckless is just as bad as a DWI. I would try to say that someone cut you off or something. Say you didn't bring it up at the time with the officer becasue you were not thinking strait after the accident.

Well, I totalled my car tonight...Going a bit too fast sround a tight corner that I knew was there, locked up the tires and bam hit a curb. Proceeded to spin 180 degrees onto a sidewalk at which point my car was laying on my $200 18" rim in the rear and the front tire was inverted towards the body of the car. The rear hub completely snapped off and all of the control arms in the front snapped...

As Enes would so perfectly say: Why does life suck so much?

Anyways, since my car will more than likely be totalled I will be going back to stock in the next few days...Here is what I have and what I still need:

MBC - Have the stocker
BOV/UIP - Have the stocker
Intercooler - Friend has a 1g
Ex Man - Friend has a 1g
O2 - Friend has a 1g
Turbo - NEED A T25!!!
Exhaust - Have a 1g, but let me know if you have stock 2G FWD!!!
Injectors - Have some that will fit
Fuel pump - Have the stocker
ECU - I'm keeping my damn dsmlink! Leaving it out...
Air Intake - Still have stocker
Clutch - Have a stocker
Tranny - Anyone have a broken one they want to sell/give me?
Flywheel - Anyone have one?
Shocks and Springs - They are pretty jacked, I'll leave em on I guess...


Basically I need a T25 for sure, the tranny and exhaust aren't necessary but let me know!

Anyone know if they will try to start the car or look at the engine when they come to appraise it?

It's been a lovely day!

BTW, what other damage was done to make you assume you car is going to be totalled? You didn't mention rolling it, or any other body damage...just the control arm snapping which wouldn't cause enough to total a car out. Just curious.....

I'll take pics tomorrow, and I personally think that destroying my pride and joy was lesson enough. I won't do it again, and I don't think me paying some fine will make me realize the err in my ways anymore than I already do...Everyone makes mistakes, to err is human...Live and learn, live and learn...
