Death of an 87 in the 707 (lol)

Well, two weeks ago, I brutally crashed my 1987 RX-7 into a curb in a residential area O_O; the front right wheel completely disconnected, the brake disc shattered the right fender nearly came off, the front end is badly dented, part of the hood is pushed a little under the front end (hood still opens)...anyway it was a mess...but I am getting a new one tommorow...goes to show you how spoiled I am >_<; I'm really going to take care of this one coming up

somewhat...it was more of an accidental drift, but I was in countersteer, then somehow that RX7 snap shot me the other way an I ended up in the curb, after my last crash I havent really been into drifting on street espically in a residential area, I could have damaged someone's house, car, and other stuff...and I had no insurance...I know it was stupid and crazy..so please spare me the flamming

well im swapping it to one of the two rx7s im getting tommorow; basically im going to revive the car into another shell

and remember that I did not drive in that herman crash, that was jason with the red S5, and I will be posting pics of the car tommorow its a red S5 I believe aftermarket turbo, intercooled, blow off and a bunch of other nice mods, good mileage too...we'll see how long this one lasts RX7 + Turbo = Matinance

Lol.. Definitely that video was funny. Bring it to the track. It cost money but not as much as getting another car. Good luck with your next seven
