Fd--rip
Some of you might've caught the kills section thread i posted about chasing down that '01 m5. Later that night i totalled my baby on a back road around a tree. I dont remember much, but i think i dozed off and went off on the low shoulder, then lost contol when i tried to swerve back on the road. I'm lucky to be alive, which i realized after i saw my car. Just thought i'd say farewell and thanks for all the help over the last year-- i'll let you all know if gather the ***** to buy another one 
drive safe everyone

don't race, don't need to
I know! I commiserate with your loss, though I'm also sad to see yet another one go down. But how do you doze off while driving? I have NEVER done that, even when driving blind (YEARS ago, stupid thing to do!!!!!!!!)

No I DONT think I am flawless. YES EVERYONE makes a mistake. When I read this:

The first thing I think is, I am very glad this guy didn't kill anyone else and secondly that he is ok. When I was 18 I bought an 82 RX-7, I was showing off to a friend and wrapped it around a tree. I was very shaken up so I know what its like. That was 15 years ago.
Every single day I read a thread about someone that totalled another FD and frankly it makes me sick. I hope that this guy learned the same lesson I learned when I was a kid.
I NEVER said I was a flawless driver.

yo zero banger, i dont need any car-purchase advice or smart *** comments from you, i dont know you and you dont know me, so keep your goddamn comments to yourself. I did learn my lesson, and no i'm not gonna go get a pos civic or mustang, i'll wreck as many cars as i want to as far as you're concerned. I worked my *** OFF to over the last year to have this car, just got it on the road a couple months ago, and i wasnt an idiot about driving it. I wasnt driving fast or out of control, the circumstances of my accident would've been the same in ANY car. I'm not a kid, im 21, and i happen to be a very safe and responsible driver-
Everyone else, thanks, i'll let you know if i decide to pick up another fd. btw, i drove a 350z today and was certainly unimpressed. I have a feeling i'll never be happy until i have another fd.

Yo Den-Man... I know how you must feel! That really sucks! I speak from recent experience! check this link out... http://members.bellatlantic.net/~kar...les/frame.htmI thought mine would be totalled by the insurance company after my New Years day accident....
Caught in a rain storm with Yokohama AVS tires! Not smart... However Costas Auto Body brought mine back from the brink... Dave, @ KD Rotary saw it today and said it's the best resto job he's ever seen... Maybe, yours can be saved!?. Too.
If I hear of an FD for sale I'll send it your way... We're not that far apart... (I'm in Morristown, NJ).... And, if you ever need an FD Fix... give me PM and drop by... I'll tighten you up... I have 2 in the garage,,, mine and goodfellafd3s.... He's in Iraq right now...checking out the Baghdad museum gift shop!! Mine is mild and his is WILD... (B&R's, mid pipe, auh...it's a ******* race car!)
In the mean time, look on the bright side... You're OK... That's all that really counts.
Good luck,
Rich

GO TO CHURCH EVERYONE IT'LL help our stressful lives a little more. and make our FD's a little happier because we won't be abusing them as often.

Hey! Give the guy a break! I'm getting pissed here...
He learned his lesson.
Sorry to hear about your loss man..
I can not imagine anything more painful than trying to stay awake when driving...
