one my BEST friends CRASHED !!! came by Tuesday NIghts

My friend Carlos, some of you guys know him. Kels helped him install his system at his crib. He came by a few times to TNC...

He had a horrible accident, but thank God him and his cuzin riding passenger walked away... Sometimes you think it will never happen to you. But when it happens so close to home its almost sureal.

He needs to sell all the remaining usable parts. he said he will do so for cheap so...

He was making a right turn on a wet floor. He felt the car sliding and applied the brakes, turned the wheel to avoid oncoming traffic. Then lost control and woke up in the car totalled. Both him and his cuzin walked away with a couple of bruises on their legs and that's it.

Man, that's hard to look at. Glad they're okay.

I'm not supposed to be spending any money... but maybe if he's selling the spoiler cheap... ?

hey whats up guys. im the 8 owner. My cousin and I are both ok. His leg is a little bruised up and i think i broke one of my knuckles but im fine. If the insurance company lets me keep the car i will be parting everything out(that survived atleast).Ive already got the tail lights and spoiler off and they are ready to be sold. Omar has dibs on the right rear tale light but the left is still up for grabs. I appreciate the concern and prayers from you guys and yes its true i really did have an rxangel with me.

Good to see that you're ok and no one was seriously injured.

How fast was he going? Must've been going pretty quick in order to wrap an RX8 around a pole that badly.

Glad to hear you're okay. Want to give me a price on the spoiler? Although to be honest I'm pretty broke right now, but can't resist at least asking.

i cant imagine the underside is ok. but if it is, i'd like to purchase the chassis brace that goes across the cat/midpipe.
