It's Happened again! Another accident victim.

OH MY GOD! Why does this keep happening.



Another poor driver was too busy eye-balling my car that
she didnt notice the car in front of her was stopped. All I heard was a loud boom with the accident occuring directly to my left.

The poor soul may have just totaled her little GTI!

The previous victim was a mustang driver. I was driving by when I glanced over and saw his jaw dropped wide open before he pummeled his new mustang into a large SUV.

Please someone make it stop!

Its funny as hell but I really do feel bad.


MY ride is'nt 1/2 as nice as many at the rx7 revolution, but heres a pic anyways!

I have had the same thing happen to me once, it scared the hell out of me. I was on my way to a club meet and all I heard was tires screaching and then a wack. Luckily I wasn't involved in any wacking.

As much as that sucks, I love it. Its never happened to me, but many jaws drops and eyeballs flying when I go by. True mine is now where near as flashy as others. Stock R1 with rims look. Looks clean and shinny though.

The only time ive seen that was one time i got into like 3mph fender bender in freeway traffic (this was NOT in my FD but was on the way to check it out), well aparently the guy passing was either looking at us or just not paying attention and hit the back or another SUV in his 4runner at like 20 mph. Looky loos, fsck them. I hate getting traffic on the freeway because some asshat decides they need to slow down to 30mph so they can check out the action...

it has happened to me too. the only difference was that my and my buddies were in a mini van acting stupid when we pulled up to a red light.

a convertable with 4 hotties pulled in the turning lane next to us.

we had them being silly and flashing us.

the light turns green, we take off in the van and the convertable take off and starts to turn...
then all the sudden, the convertable gets SLAMMED by a big *** F350 because they didn't have a green light.

don't think badly of me, but it was kinda funny the way everyone flew around...
but we all pretty much **** ourselves.

no one was hurt... well...they were all walking around when we left.

good story though!

funny, but i actually wrecked my old car gawking at some woman bending over while she was working in her yard. tore the hell out of that parked truck!

I havent gotten the car retuned yet. A-Spec is going to put a bung in it for me and retune it for me for free. I just need to call and make the final arrangements with them.

I just don't want any hard feelings about it.

Anyone interested in buying that cool charge intercooler? I'll let it go for an even 1k. it's a
huge frickin intercooler and is a quick easy install.

I'll start a new post about it here soon. 1st come 1st serve.

I love getting eyeballed everywhere. Its a great looking car, but I think much of the gawk factor exists because they're so rare in most areas.
