Good Friend Nearly Killed In A Crash. (pics)
(Also Posted over @ 92bengals)
Well.. His project car is gone, his b16a2 EG6 hatch = no more. I was right behind him and we were driving on an open country S bend as we always do and then it happens out of no where, an animal of a decent size (little smaller then a deer) pops out as we are about to hit a S shaped turn in the road, my buddy quickly adjusts and swerves the deer, and regaining control doing about 120km/hr, BUT then his front wheel catches some weak ashphalt and the road crumbles (literally chunks of ashphalt shoot up in the air), his back end slides out about 3 feet from this, his back tire catches the dirt and he loses control, the car swerves and fish hooks into the guard rail and flips rolling down a 15 foot drop/ steep hill) the car snapped 3 solid wooden beams as it goes down and lands on its roof. I was about 300 + meters behind him at the time. I almost instantly stop my car, throw on my 4 ways and jump down into the ditch/ ravine.. I am screaming for my good buddy hoping he is alive and nothing is wrong, I mean this is my best freind and this crash looked as if his number could be up... I call his name, then the car shuts off and he yells to me that he is ok, he gets out with a stiff neck and a cut elbow. The car.. Well as you can see is a complete body loss. We ended up towing the car about 1km down the road to my buddys house and ended up tearing it apart, had it stripped in 3 hours flat, motor out ! suspension out ! Interior out ! Tail lights and headlights out as well. we basicly gutted the car, then removed the vins and cut the car to peices and dumped the scrap. The motro still runs like a champ, in mint condition. The oilpan did not even have any dents in it. I have never felt such relief in my life when my buddy called back to me and got out ok, I felt really good at that point. AND to anyone about to call this car rice, please refrain from doing so. It had full bars all around (strut tower + sway), lowered suspension (eibach sportlines + AGX's), and good summer tires on. we have taken this turn FASTER many many times before, but a freak of nature event just made it nearly lethal. Pictures of the car. Engine was still great. WHICH was what we were most concerned about after finding out my buddy was ok.

speedlimits have purposes.
but i'm glad your buddy's ok. |
it was a 80km/hr zone, he would have had the same fate doing 90 to 100km/hr as anyone else who takes it daily, not to mention the risk still there @ the speed limit. 4 cars have crashed there in the past 2 years.
|
Not much to say except at least your friend is ok.
|
my bro wrecked his civic about a yr ago now. He was in a headon collision with a one of those dually* trucks though but thankfully survived it
|
Glad your friend is ok. Scary ordeal
|
shit's totalled ed: , glad he's alright, did you tell anyone about the guardrail beign wrecked, ..or its just dented or nothing
|
Wow, the car is obliterated yet he only suffers a stiff neck and cut elbow. That's some luck.
|

GG, asshats like this make my insurance rates go up dance:
|
ITs great he survived and all but I am going to say it was a lot of his fault. If there is an animal the size of a deer or smaller go ahead and slow down but dont take evasive action over it just take the hit, you have insurance for a reason. IF its a moose or something, Well Ive never swerved for a mosse but Ive locked up the brakes.
Also going 25 mph over the speed limit has a lot of effect on how fast the car will stop in the given distance and his reaction time to the whole thing. And incase anyone was wondering; 50mph = 73 fps and 75mph = 110 fps |

Well...kinda looks like it is deserved...why go 120 around a corner?
|
Meh, I've got no sympathy for someone who was speeding like that....120 in an 80k zone? That's just stupid. Do you have any idea how much that kind of speed increases your stopping time? They have speed limits for reasons like this.
Your friend is one lucky moron. |

You dont lift the engine over the car when you pull it out. And judging by the missing front end Ill assume they pulled it forward to get it out and not up. Even if they did do that and the engine did fall on the roof it would not make such a well defined V shape dent but more of a bowl shaped dent. |
v-tec NOOB

Shut the fuck up. There is no excuse for endangering other peoples lives on the road by speeding. How would driving enough or not enough make me understand any differently? Speeding is speeding. There is a reason they have speed limits. Your friend crashed. Do you know WHY he crashed? It's not quantum physics. It's not even basic physics. Its common fucking sense. I know too many peoples lives that have been ruined by idiot speeders like your friend....and judging by your last post none of you have learned a lesson, so I hope you all fucking die while speeding like idiots around an S-turn. Oh and btw, just because he has done some shit to his car himself, it doesn't mean he's not a moron. You're a complete idiot for even suggesting that. |

Well, as far as endangering others.......
If he was on a "one way" street then no, he was only endangering himself. If he was on a two lane road, then yes, his actions were wreckless and he lucked out. Either way, glad no one was seriously hurt. Accidents suck. |
I don't see where you reported this to the police. Your buddy wrecked a guardrail, are you going to clandestinly repair that, or did you leave that for the taxpayers to take care of? How about insurance? Was the accident reported to his insurance carrier so his rates can reflect his lack of driving skill? While I'm glad nobody got hurt, I am dismayed that people like you and your buddy are out driving around like a couple of idiots who think you own the road.I recently buried friend who was ran over by some kid in a hopped up Civic. The kid who was driving reportedly said "He should have seen me coming. Why didn't he get out of my way?"

I drive responsibly and don't go over the SPEED LIMIT. I don't speed just because my car can. Dude. He lost. He had an accident. Do you think if someone else was coming along the opposite way that he'd be able to magically avoid them using his excellent CRASHING skills? No. He'd hit them, and probably kill them. ....and he'd go to jail because he was speeding. It's sad that you haven't even learned a lesson from seeing your friend act like a complete moron, nearly killing himself. That accident WOULDN'T have happened had he not been speeding 40 k's over the limit. |
You drive under the influence and you mock him ?!?!. I was nearly killed at the age of 5 by a drunk driver going the speed limit ffs. (ran a red and hit the rear of my dads van).
*also sorry to hear about your cat. |

*also sorry to hear about your cat.[/quote:3720a] DRUNK driver. TOTALLY different. I'm twice as careful when I'm stoned and that's a fact. I literally drive slower, and double check everything. I actually regularly check my mirrors when I'm high something I just wouldn't remember to do when not-stoned. I'm sorry but marijuana effects everyone differently, so don't even bother trying to argue that. Speeding is stupid. There is no argument for it. |
