Are you guys seeing the same picture of the overturned FD?

 

What pic?

Sidebar, that was the most packed Cars n Coffee I'd ever seen today.

 

i see no overturned car

 

r u either or or both????

 

or on her back looking at the monitor upside down, thinking the car is flipped.

 

there's the 'photos you might like' banner at the top in the middle. i keep seeing an overturned red FD

*editted* I think it's showing up because RXeckless has it in his album and I have been in a thread he has (??????)

here it is:

 

it was good to see you, even briefly. when we got there at 5:30ish the last three rows was empty. i figured because of the holiday it would be busy but not THAT busy!

 

from the looks of it, it still has a rotary, i believe crosby has bbs wheels and a v8?

ethier way, sucks to see that happen an FD

 

i believe that should be able to be buffed out.

 

Guys let it go. Dcrosby's incident happened almost a decade ago. He's still tramatized to a point where he wouldnt even drive anywhere near a mountain side.

 

Is that his car? He told me about it but I never saw pics.

He did go on the turkey run last year, you should go!

 

Yeah it's his car. You could dig up some old threads. Believe me, he was the laughing stock for years..hahahaha. I'm down for a turkey run this year. OH wait, my Niners play....so maybe naught.

 

Crosby had black rims with red "time attack" lines on them.

I'm Pretty sure this isnt Dcrosby.

 

wtf?

In the spirit of wackyricer "junk eeet"

 

It is DCrosby. The red FD with the time attack wheels was purchased after he flipped the one in the pic.

 

I remember that run...

 

I remember that run too... I can't remember where it was tho?

 

Ah, and he walks away with his PFC in hand... good times! lol

 

Yes... that is mr. crosby's car. I was there when 1984se came and told me/us that DC had disappeared... i went back and DC had crawled out of the ravine and was standing by the side of the road. The interesting part was when the CHP showed up, and he had to explain what had happened... i remember the officer saying to DC, "let me guess... you weren't speeding, right?". Then we waited for the paramedics and he was wisked off to the hospital for a check up... fortunately all checked out well and he was released.

It happened on Mount Emma Rd. off Angeles Crest Hwy. In a fairly fast section of road.

 

Funny account to the event there Bern but us Belligerents are damn greatful that he escape with no injuries except a low blow to his gigantic ego

 

You guys can thank DC. He's the reason we don't go cruising anymore.

= )

 

it was trully a miracle from God that DC was not seriously injured in that incident!!

well DC and then EB, who wrapped his FD around a tree and spent several weeks in the hospital recovering... it was only track days after that!!!

 

I remember the Ojai/Santa Maria cruise. That was epic, with Jro and I leading the blind. When we got to the restaurant, I didn't even know where the heck we were.

I vote for cruise! but then again, gas was $1.35/gal back then.

 

Ahhh the bad old days...

Yes that was my First FD, Touring Model With Glass Sunroof, which miraculously escaped and was sold, the scoot hood I have to this day, it has some 2-3mm scratches over the drivers side headlight cutout, and otherwise is spotless... and I did walk out with my ECU, but at that time it was an AEM unit, which failed 2-3 years later where the EPROMS self destructed, and got replaced, and then took out my second motor, and then got replaced by a PFC, which took out my last rotary.

The cop might have said let me guess you weren't speeding, but to my memory the >>Funny<< part was that the cop said "You Destroyed MY car !" to which I was "WTF?", CHP: "Yeah I was saving for a black FD, and in 3-6 Months I have enough to go get one".

I was crushed, my dream car was destroyed, and I was scared / relived that I hadn't hurt anybody else in that incident. And you are right, I swore Myself I'd never drive like that again on public roads, and I never have. I do take my skills to the limit on the track sometime, but never again on public roads... To this day I'm grateful for the lesson it taught me about responsibility, in a non life threatening way.
