it says they are ok, which is most important.

then the next question is, what does the car look like?

 

Holy crap guys! I'm glad you're ok! SO sorry about the car, Jamin. If there is anything I can do to help let me know.

Now the big question is: Why didn't you throw Toby in front of the car to act as an impact absorber? I keed, I keed!!

Reese

 

Ha ha.
Answer: There was no time.
I think I was high on adrenaline last night when I posted that.
So in further detail...
We were on I-26 around mile marker 75 or 76 going toward Irmo.
It was raining lightly. Time was around 9pm.
We were going 70-75mph.
We are passing a 18 wheeler, then the car started going sideways, I think the back end started coming around to the right.
There was a point in the slide that I knew it couldn't be control.
At that time we both said "Oh ****!!"
I covered my head with my arms so I didn't see exactly how we spun.
Then I heard all the destructive noises as we plowed into the cable barrier, I think we took out 5 posts.
When the car stopped, I looked around and saw the cables on my side of the car (passenger side).
Still on our side of the hwy, but facing the wrong direction in the median.
No injuries.

We think the cause of the spin was due to balding tires and the wind coming from the 18 wheeler plus wet hwy.

I probably got 3 hours of sleep last night. lol.

 

Damn that sux! I'm glad to hear that you guys are fine, that's the most important thing. Cars can be replaced, people can't. At least the cables stopped you guys tho. When I hit them I just went under them and they chopped my car all the way across the top. I guess the blockish stance of the FC came in handy!

Oh yeah there was also like 35 mph winds yesterday, that probably helped. I know it was blowing me around on 20.

 

Pictures.

 

DAMN! Hey it doesn't look much different, just added a little grass and glass! j/k. I hate to say it but that looks totaled. Time to find a shell!

 

Damn, I know you must be shitting jamin.
What did the insurance company say?

 

Holy sheeeeet guys! Glad you are both ok.

But what's the 7's hospital room number I need to visit her. :P


Seriously glad you two are ok.

 

Good news!
Its drivable!
We cleaned it up an drove it around the block. Drives good.
I think jamins going to take it back to charleston.

So on another note, anybody going to the autoX?
We will take my car but wont compete.
Ill be taking pictures.

 

hey thats great that its still driveable --- Nic... sorry forgot I was logged in under Reese's acct

 

That is good news! Hey make sure he puts something over the hatch area or he will be pulling in mad CO2 driving down the road.

 

Jamin, give me a call when you get the chance.

Reese

 

i think he has an extra hatch cant remember. as i said in my message your welcome t the 87 its got a clean title and wouldn't be to hard to swap everything.

 

thanks for the support everybody, reminds me why scrx7club is such good group of people. I arleady got three offers on shells. it could have been a LOT worse, and this body was kinda shitty anyway. Im not exactly sure what kind of shell i want.. im thinking a gutted S4 maybe. im just pissed my new TII lip and sideskirts are in pieces now lol

 

i got the 10ae that you can buy and swap into. i actually need some money right now, since the engine gave out on my car last night. just call me

 

reese told me, that is crazy. have you found out the cause?

im thinking a 10AE shell would be nice, it would be awesome if i can get Ryan to sell me his 10AE.. the body is in very good shape, but engine need rebuild, and i wouldnt need to tow it very far. I dont know ill think about it.

 

i think ren still has the T2 skirts under his house. if you want i'll call him find out how much he wants for them. also i think ryan is still standing at $4000 firm for his 10AE(of course that was the last time i saw it on chriagslist). LOL

 

ill know for sure tomorrow, but im leaning towards bad gas. the good news is im pretty sure i just cracked an apex seal instead of blowing it. it will be back bigger and badder.

ps, i just got a new turbo hookup, so when i say bigger...

 

Hey that's cool Jamin, you've got some ideas and offers already!

Masin, wtf? Sorry to hear that man you only got it tuned like month ago right? I hear those NRS seals are the best if you're looking to get some more apex seals.

 

Jamin that sucks man. I'm really sorry that happened to you guys. I just found out from Reese after Masin calling me about his car. Pretty shitty day for the rotary community I guess. Hope you guys are doing well and glad you both are ok.

holy crap Jamin. Glad to hear that you and Toby are ok! They must fix that stuff fast, because it wasn't even torn up when I went by there earlier today.

 

Damn those look worse than they did when I was looking at them on your camera.

 

Hey haven't been in the 7 seen for a while and no longer have my 7 but looking for another one. would it be alright if i droped by at the lake or downtown

 

my 10AE is for sale if anyone is looking for a car.

 

im not sure if i will make this one cash flow might not allow it.
