Yea, thats me in the title, last night i was driving far too fast on a side street and a curve came up way too fast, i oversteered and spun out, hit a tree and fire hydrant, fire hydrant is dead. Yes i know, you dont have to say it, i know i am stupid, im lucky im still walking to tell you the truth, completely reckless on my part and i do take responsibility for it. I guess the one good thing to come out of this is that I am making all of your FD's a little more rare I am parting out my car, the doors are fine as is the hood, and all the engine components are fine as well, fairly new stock turbos. Anything you want let me know. Thanks.

Is there any chance it can be fixed?

Dont just part one out right away!

btw i might want the trans if its a 5speed...miles? lol...

spekdah

hmmm... Ive often though about going on a 'Kill every other FD in the world until mine is the only one left" crusade.

RooR

was this your first car?

Madmax670

I will take pics of it and u tell me if u think its worth it to fix it, other than that, the trans has 79,000 miles on it, works like a charm. (no, my second car, 1993 R1, I am really not one of those average 16 year olds tho, please dont think of me that way.)

what did the insurance company say?

please dont ruin another

btw i had a fd at 16 and never wrecked it...its a little thing called self control...

RotorJoe

I’ll buy the whole car off you for the salvage cost from the insurance?

Madmax670

Liability insurance only.

RotorJoe

Unbelievable!

Madmax670

Don't they only give you what the KBB value for the car is anyway?

r0gu3

They will negotiate with you. Always keep receipts.

Madmax670

I have an inordinate amount of receipts valuing over 20,000 for the car

RotorJoe

For the most part. But it is a negotiation period and you will get enough cash back to buy another FD in most cases. From there swap parts.

Madmax670

BELOW, sorry double post

Madmax670

How much do you think i can get without comprehensive insurance? I was under the impression that i get nothing for my car if i only have liability.

RotorJoe

I think that is correct.

Yes , if you only have liability it covers the other driver and not you. You basically have to part it. Welcome to my world.

thanks gilbertstein, you understand my pain.

I do have to say it. That was really stupid. You must have read about others doing the same thing, and wrecking their beautiful cars. Too bad you had to learn the hard way. I'm sorry that your car is messed up. Hopefully it can be fixed eventually.

I'm glad to see that you are taking responsibility for this, and not trying to put the blame elsewhere. Glad you are OK, and I hope your future driving habits will be influenced by this event.

I would of killed for an FD when I was 16




probably would have drove it stupid, everyone drives that way until they get a ticket or crash luckily I got a ticket well two but one I got out of

HELL YEA. I have an FD and an FB, and I gotta tell ya, I don't really push my FD that hard lol. I leave that for the FB, cuz it's a LOT more predicatable, and a LOT more forgiving. When I become a pro about it, I'll slowly push the envelope a bit w/ the FD. But until then, I'm just tryin to keep her straight

Madmax670, I PMed ya.
