so yeah, i'm having the worst week ever, FOERST my school is sold out from under us to a school i hate, and now my car is totalled. i had just dropped one of my friends off at the ACA dorms, i drive down 15th and into arts center way (formerly lombardy) from 15th make a u-turn so i'm perpendicular with 15th and i'm planning to turn left and come back the way i came. i look and don't see anything so i proceed to pull out and next thing i see is headlights right in my side window. that horrible car on car smashup sound occurs, my side window is on 15th in lots of little pieces, the front part of my door and front left fender is pushed in a good 6-8inches. the engine is dead, i can't push the clutch, and barely open the door (or close it after i get out). the front left wheel has like -20 degrees of camber and pretty much the car is just fucked. no one in either car was injured thankfully. the new beetle that hit me airbags deployed and did more damage to the girl than anything. i'm really suprised my legs were hurt at all, the side panel and clutch pedal were pushed wayyy over.

important thing is no one was hurt. cars can be replaced but people can't. too bad it happened to me this time. anyway, i'm going to sleep because i have work in the morning :? and i feel like shit. i'll post a more detailed update when i'm not as depressed and tired.

Wow!! This has been on hell of a month for killing cars. Atleast you had no injuries!! Having a zipper head is no fun. Makes you think how fast it can be over for you. Anyone get a ticket?

Dammit man, that SUCKS. This really is a bad month. I'm REEEALLY glad to hear you're okay, kiddo. We'll find you another car. Hopefully insurance will give you something decent for it and we can get you an R32 GTS. :D

Keep your chin up playa.

thank you guys for your comments, they made me feel a lot less shitty than i was feeling. this was my FOERST "real" car accident. i mean i've hit curbs and shit, and ran into some random ass stuff, but never had a car plow into me and fuck my car all to hell. i was just starting to really bond with that car too. me and it had plans. we had a whole formulaD takeover in the works...oh well, looks as if i will have to with my original FD plan of prepping my friends MKIII supra with me the driver, him the owner, and some friends for pit goons. FD 2007 LOOK THE FUCK OUT!

well i've been thinking of what to do about a vehicle for a little bit, and i don't think i want another car. i don't have a wad of cash like when i sold the FC, so older cars are kinda out. cheap new cars are shite. the cheapest i wouldn't mind would probably be an xA or xB, next thing up would be a WRX, witch i don't think i could make the payments when school starts and that pretty much makes 350Z, G35 4door, evoVIII, rx8, or even miata out. i could maybe get some financing for a sc3000, kouki 14, used wrx, or something but i dunno. i think i'm going to try and get another motorbike.

i think with 2 jobs and my name on a lease i should be able to get approved for financing. i'm thinking SV1000 or a used RC51 or r1. i'll probably look at some 600RR's, gixxer6/7/1k, 636, triumph speed four, etc. i'd love a 749dark, monster 900, SS900 or 1000 or whatever ducs are at now, but i think i'd put too many miles on them, and with valve service every 6000 miles i don't think i can afford to maintain it properly. i put 13,xxx miles on my SV in a year and with the new bike being my main form of transport i don't think that 10-15k a year being unreasonable.

so come on cody lets go buy some bikes and them me, you, and hooman can start up grip technicians :lol:
