...you get cut off and hit a lamp post at 70kph (approx 45mph).
Long story short, I got cut off at an interscention (he turned into my lane from the turning lane), avoided the guy and hit a lamp post. Car was a total write off. Since the guy took off and the cop didn't see him I got a careless driving ticket (fighting it, cop wasn't paying attention). My insurance has also dropped me but I have hope.

She's seen better days. After looking at this pic I'd glad I'm still here to post this. Car didn't have air bags and I cracked my sternum on the steering wheel.


I hit with so much force that all the exhaust hangers broke off the car. Notice the muffler sticking out so far. The piping was fine though


Here's the engine bay. Notice that the engine is off center and pushed back to the fire wall, again because of the force I hit it with.


Another engine bay shot.


Finally the pole itself.....well, at least I dealt with that ****ing pole. (Sorry some of the pics came out shitty.)




I miss the car, especially after looking at these pics. I wish it never had happened but ah well, on to bigger and better things. I'll have a new ride with in a few months (start/end of Sept, I hope as my insurance is up in Oct, then I be screw with no car to drive). I miss being able to work on her :cry:
But on to better things, you'll see

 

wow man, it is good to see your doing well,
and your going to get another hatch right

 

Might be getting something different, still a honda though.

 

Good to see you alive and not hurt.sorry to see ride like that.

 

ouch!

Sorry to hear that man!

The guy that cut you off didn't even stop to see if you were okay? Damn that's messed up! Why didn't you hit your brakes and stand your ground or something... just stick to your lane so it would have been his fault and such damage wouldn't have happened...

Guess you can't say anything (or I can't) sense it's already happened... hope you win against the cop.

Good luck on your future car!

 

you got screwed with the ticket. i got a careless ticket cause some guy driving in front of me decided to stop for no reason and i had to swerve out of the way. the cop said that there was no car in front of me and that i was was just being careless. sorry bout the car but at least your not dead. cracked sternum, the seat belt caused that?

 

I hit the steering wheel, that's how I cracked my sternum.

The cop said he wasn't paying attention and said he would say it in court plus my dad witnessed that when he picked me up.
Next time I'll hit the bastard.

 

That really sucks, at least you're alive to post about it.

 

Cracked sternum? No seatbelt?

Hard luck, you really would have been better off hitting the guy then an immobile metal pole. You were really lucky in that one. If you did hit the guy, he probably wouldn't have gotten away, either.

That ticket is just stupid though, I hope you can defeat it in court.

 

damn man, sorry to see that
