need i say more. state farm gave me 3800 after they dudected 500.to you all be safe on the road.

Umm...that sucks i guess.

Just one question tho...how the hell do you lose control of a front wheel drive econo-box?? Even while racing, common man. Get a bike.

Sorry to hear that. What caused you to swerve off the road?

He was starin at my Civ as I flew by him at 2 hunut milez and hour :icon16:

Seriously though, that does suck. My Civ was totaled out over a year ago. Not cool at all.

Here I am thinking that FWD cars were "safe" and almost uncrashable. I guess not, you crazy kids keep wrecking those things left and right. Damn.

i hite a rather steep curve on the highwat an 110 an that made me hit the guard rail then it slung me across off the road scary but came out scratch free.funny thing is it dint tear the car up as bad as it should have.the thing that came in my head really fast was o no this isnt happening its a fwd an it handle good then rail then to other side of highway then into sign

Good the hear you are okay, and that everything kinda worked out with insurance.

But why are you racing around in a Corolla? Racing where conditions can cause something like this happens, we all get into it.
Did the front tires break lose on a 2-3 shift or something?? :lol:

Sorry...

This is why I should just go to bed when I am tired, instead of sit in front of a computer.

Sounds like you ended up coming out on top. Four grand for that piece of crap. j/k








Ok, not really.

Sorry...

You should see me then :). Ask Kris. I just start saying all kinds of things without any thought. Well, in any case, I'm like that all the time, but it's worse when I'm tired...

i was jut runnin to see if i could keep up an i did till the curve lol

Mind me asking how old you are?

probably 16 and change

He'll be 20 in a month or so. His profile says so anyway.

dude u crashed at 110 and walked away without a scratch, count your self very lucky.
sorry about the car but lets just say that it was a sacrifice that saved ur ass.

race safe all

BTW, did you crash at a buck ten or had you slowed significantly before impact. I think that your car would look a little worse than it does.

BTW....I wonder if he needed to read all three posts to get the message. http://pmv.phpwebhosting.com/jlh/smilie/punchballs.gif

:werd:

LMAO!! "LAGGG!!!!!"

Wow yeh he must've deffinately not crashed while going 110 - there wouldn't be much left. He must've slowed down significantly from spinning, before doing the notorious "OH SHIT!!!" ditch slide where you're sliding the wrong way fast and you see something you're about to hit, and there's not a damn thing you can do about it.

ya when they drew it up i hit the rail an i slide side ways acroos the highway so most speed was killed the way i hit an the way the car slid. the impact knocked the front completely offline bent the frame an the car ticked all the way home but i made it

Well good thing you didn't get hurt, look on the bright side now you have 3800 to pick out a new car of your choice.

Wait...did you get ticketed??

And why exactly would you be sad that the car was totalled?

I would have figured you'd be happy to get rid of that monster machine.

no i got lucky i told them i came around da curve an the carve swired like i hit loose gravel an it went off the looked at me funny sat in there car about 20 min then i move my car off the sign an backed it up an raised the hood to make sure nonthing was leakin s i could drive it they came back an gave me a paper for my insurance companie.

Surprised they couldn't tell you were speeding by the skid marks.

Not that it matters, just good you are here to tell the story.

no he didn't get ticketed...but it still sucks...he was just bein stupid drivin the car like that when if he had driven that road before he should have known the turn and the car's capabilities. and just to tell you...bendin a frame isn't a cheap thing to fix by any means. i can easily see how it got totaled...hell, my best friend's 92 SL2 got totalled just by havin the windshield smashed n all 4 tires popped...supposedly $800 worth in damage...when they had previously dropped $3K in the car to basically rebuild the engine n trans...and it was totalled by 800 worth in damage...

just wondering, how is this the bad side of street racing when there was no racing involved?

"well one da comming home from college i was racing a mirage after a rev encounter at a stop light i totaled my corolla in another state from where i live." <<<<<<<<<<<<<<that was the first sentence drftk1d

:confused: .... Huh? Is it just me, but I can't figure out what he's trying to say in that sentance...

what im saying is that in the first sentence it stated i was racing.

didnt you crash AFTER the race? or ami i reading wrong?

$3800 and you buy a 92 prizm... and put an mr2 engine in it why not just buy the mr2 weighs less therefore would be quicker...

1. It's an old thread
2. a 92 prism for $3800 :lol:
3. put an mr2 engine, yeah, it only take 15 minutes to swap those
4. how about handling and traction issues?

at least your ok dude! it coulda been worse

I always wanted to say this....
