First Damage :(

em5 · 09-08-2008, 12:21 PM

Here is what happens when some idiot runs you off the road. No body damage thankfully but the suspension is messed up and the rims are scratched to hell.

MikeCCrutchfield · 09-08-2008, 12:30 PM

Hopefully your suspension isn't as jacked up as mine was (2300 Euro in damage)

Stratos · 09-08-2008, 12:36 PM

Thats why we all hate fucking idiots.

coco_m3 · 09-08-2008, 12:40 PM

That sucks, replace with CSL's?

128ian · 09-08-2008, 05:01 PM

Why do you say your suspension is damaged? What is the difference that you notice in the ride/handling after this incident?

ONE · 09-08-2008, 06:48 PM

Thankfully, it could have been worse -
Hope you and your 1 recover soon!

Thunder Dan Majerle · 09-08-2008, 07:58 PM

How exactly did you get "run off the road"?
In my experience, any story that ends with someone being "run off the road" usually starts with a few MGD's.

Ok for all of you who think I was drunk I wasn't, I was completley sober. It happened like this, I was driving home from dropping a couple of my friends off and as I was attempting to get back onto the highway somebody decided that I wasn't going fast enough and proceded to pass me on the ramp leading to the highway; keep in mind that this is only one lane with a cement divider in the middle of the on and off ramp. Anyway he proceded to pass me on this one lane road on the right hand side, so I swerved to the left hand side to try to avoid him hitting me and I went too far over and hit the cement divider which is what did the damage.

Look at it as an opportunity to purchase something better like CSLs.
