dude that sucks for your loss man.

and :werd: to the quote above. When i had my last accident and the accident with RiceburninVTEC (when he lost control of his civic), that really changed me. First it was cause it was my DREAM HONDA. since i can remember, i've wanted a black 91 CRX Si, when it got hit, i was devasted, and it put my PT Cruiser in perspective. I don't want to lose that either. Then after Brad's accident, i relized how lucky we were to both walk away. we both couldve been injured or worse. I started thinking about all the times i drove crazy with people in the car, and then i finally thought about how they felt about me doing it. Cars are a big part of my life, and after that, i really appreciate my cars more now. more for what it is, not about how fast it will go. i treasure my vehicles now.. performance mods are still ok, but i will now only test them in controlled environments, ie drag strip, autocross.

Also my insurance is playing another role in my mindset now. I basically have 2 car payments a month. 400 for the Cruiser, and 400 for the insurance. The fact that i i could lose my priveledge (which it is by the way) to drive my cars scares the hell out of me.

Im very sad for your loss, and i hope you get everything resolved as quickly as possible.and thanks for this post, i hope a lot more people understand now.
