Considering at the beginning of that post it stated "Personally I think it's bs with the debate that 16 year olds shouldn't have a fast car." Thats what you call a topic sentence to wich my whole post was directed toward...I never stated that it had anything to do with the accident wich has occured.

Ok here are some updated pics of the car, it is kinda funny, the interior is virtually perfect, i can still sit in the car and listen to music, the engine turns over normally, but will not start, should be something very easily fixable. If anyone buys these cars, PM me please, i will definately consider any offers.

hate to say it but i belive that FD is done. Ur whole back end is gone and the back end is no longer straight. It is cocked. I would say frame damage. And not trying to start anything but why does everyone say that 16 year olds shouldnt have FDs? **** happens, People make mistakes. I got my FD 1 month after i got my license which would put me at 16 and 2 months. I never wrecked it. I got a few free lessons of what the car can do but i learned and respected it. And i never had a problem. And now because some idiot in a sentra wanted to help me with my idea of fender flares rear ended me. So my car got totalled because of someone elses ****. I do say there are 16 year olds out there that drive like ****. The guy that hit me was 23 and had been in 8 accidents. And a few of my friends got **** car to crap around in just to get used to people. Just my .02 cents. Some 16 year olds can be very good and responsible drivers. Dont judge a driver by there age, judge them by there driving record. If they get in tons of accidents u can say that they suck at driving.

And if you're going to argue grammar of the English language with me then you may want to work on your spelling, sentence structure, paragraph seperation, etc...

The whole thread hasnt been geared toward just the accident that this thread is about. Many have stated that 16 y.o. should not have an rx7 wich what my post was directed towards. My post simply showed that age doesnt come into factor in all cases where an accident has happened. Even if no one under the age of 25 owned an rx7, there'd still be alot of wreckless accidents.
I might need to work on my grammar, but where does that fit into this thread?!

Edit: Really sorry to hear what happened with your car man.

sorry bout your loss guy. what kind of wreck did you have exactly? what got messed up?
btw, learning in fwd does not help whatsoever to be able to drive rwd. for instance, i've been drivin my civic for about 3 yrs now, and every so often i had to take my bro's 98 firebird for any number of reasons.. to change oil, or what not. anyways. i got used to gunning it in my frontwheel since nothing ever happened except maybe a little burnout when your going in a straight line. but in my bros firebird, the back end started fish tailing a couple of times. i was luck though, i kept it under control when it happened. so i'd just drive it a bit more cautiously.. btw this is NA much more predictable than a turbocharged 7... i've never driven a turbocharged car.. but i think common sense would tell you it takes a second to spool up, and if your impatient, that second is goin to determine whether your car is goin home as a whole or wrecked. bottomeline. just BE CAREFUL next time. nothing can replace hands on experience....
side not: my FC will FINALLY be running tommorro!!

Nice reply dude
Cha Ching with the money shot!
But on one hand its better than some of the other **** they import over here, like lowriders and the like. Imagine this, a Japanese trying to rap in a mixture of English, and Japanese send the Enola Gay his way pleeeeeeese!
cheers!

man....i hope YOUR FRIENDS learned from your mistake. Thats how my friends learned. I had a ford Probe V6 when I was 16. I put ever penny into it and put it in the 13's. Then I rolled it when i was 19 because I decided I was hotter the hot. Guess what....fwd cars cant drift at 90. All well... I learned my lesson....just remember your lesson everytime you get in a car.

See how good I am?" Come back in 5 years, and tell me how many people you've killed THEN...
on another note.... Sorry to hear about your car man. I know how it feels to loose ur baby.
