Be safe everone

We all love our cars, and enjoy playing around with them. We always need to be aware in the back of our minds that we are playing with potentially lethal toys.

Yeah. They two guys in the car got out without a scratch, amazingly. Rough way to end a DGRR for sure

was going way to fast on the on ramp to 78...had my best friend Justin in the car..the entire car started sliding to the left....threw it in neutral hit the brakes...the brakes started locking up and the back end started kicking out let off the brakes by that time i knew there was no saving it so let go of the wheel... feet off the pedals...knew i was hitting the truck turned my head and hoped for the best...i remember the sound of the crash...my head getting smashed by the door frame and roof as the side of the truck went across the roof...then i remember looking thru the window out the other side of the truck and everything was dead quite which was only a few seconds but seem like forever...then reality set in and i remember the sound of the truck tires as they were locking up and the smoke pouring in the car....with in a minute we both were out of the car...i had to crawl thru the passenger side.
its the only time in my life that i really thought i was going to die...i cant explain how it felt as it happened it all happened so quick
i knew i destroyed my tires and brakes at DGRR...and i still preceded to act up in the car...i almost killed my self and my best friend for my stupidity..and could have also endangered more lives in other vehicles...a car is a car...im so grateful that we both walked away with only scratches.

Unbelievable. So glad the passengers made it out..

That's a shame for a car to make it that long and look that good and end up like that.

Could have been a lot worse.

when I first open this thread and saw the first post, I completely ignored the "link" to the actual Thread, instead I just noticed the "V-tec Just KickEd in Y0" pic ... I was like damn, now we gotta be careful cuz there are gazillion Civics out there to hunt us ...

I noticed the link about 10 seconds after.

and I just said

Damn, again.

YEa, we should be more careful, mmm, now I'm thinking my FC might worth my time to restore it completely ! Cuz FC is getting kill left and right.

Thanks! Can read the posts, but need an account for all of the pics. Is that the worst shot? Not quite as bad as I was expecting, but still pretty bad.

He owned the car for 9 years so it's either a case of being lucky for the last 9 years or making a bad judgement call one time. Either way, it goes to show that it only takes one stupid moment.

LOL I put that on my car before heading up to DGRR, it stayed on most of the weekend, until the rain came.... I got lots of looks from integras and s2k's in the area
