NgoRX8 04-21-2006 12:38 AM

damn man that front looks nastier than moostafa's.

hope you get it fixed soon.

lesper4 04-21-2006 12:45 AM

wow looks like you HAD a good setup, what exactly happened?

BRGREEN8 04-21-2006 01:06 AM

i was at the 60W and 605S intersect, there was a car in front of me, and a semi on my side with a 40 foot container. when i was turning, i saw the container sliding toward me, i am not sure if it actually hit me, but my car became jerky. so i stepped on brakes ( bad idea ) thinking ill let him pass by first. but i lost control and hit the guard rail.

lazi 04-21-2006 01:53 AM

damn sorry to hear that man. damn

FABRO 04-21-2006 01:57 AM

damn bro, my eyes are hurting from seeing the pics. But look at the bright side maybe it's time for the insurance to get you an authentic mint blue frontend :)

BRGREEN8 04-21-2006 02:00 AM

the police said dont report it to insurance because it doesnt look like the semi hit me at all, might have just been me panicking at the moment. so instead of fixing it, i might replace it with carbon creation full CF kit.

uhhhh whats a semi lol...

dillsrotary 04-21-2006 05:27 AM

^^^^^ uhhhh i wouldn't joke in the thread, the guy seriously banged up a real nice 8

carbonRX8 04-21-2006 06:13 AM

I think he was seriously asking what a semi was. (think 18-wheeler BTW)

Man, I hate to see stuff like that. At least you are thinking about turning this into an opportunity!

I would agree. I say wide body kit would look nice.

Yep...a lot of people don't know what a semi is...most think big truck...or 18-wheeler.

Sorry to hear about the 8 man...the curse of the silver continues. :(

rx8wannahave 04-21-2006 06:56 AM

Sorry about your 8, I hope you get it fixed ASAP. Looks nasty...

Chrisbert 04-21-2006 07:24 AM

At least you didn't end up like the guy in the Audi in that recently famous video of him being crunched against the wall by that ass in the semi.

Glad your OK.

murix 04-21-2006 07:24 AM

i'd like to thank lazi, he hooked it up with a new mint blue front, mint blue sides, and veilside D1-GT rear, and he took me home today because i dropped my car off at the bodyshop he recommended. ill post pictures of my car when it gets done.

XDEEDUBBX 04-21-2006 04:11 PM
