DOMINION

Hey Jorady, Last night, My bro was going to walk to the market. I was playing PS2 doing nothing. Having a love to drive the Rotary every chance I get played a big part in this. So me and my Girl gave him a ride. On our way, right down the street we see a car that just wrecked on the side walk that took out 3 trees where he would have been walking. She made up some B.S. story what every, her *** not mine. But she was going 55 took a turn and lost it.
Thank God no one got hurt but yeah you never know when its your time to go.

Wheels can be fixed for a lot cheaper than new wheels, check out wheel technologies for more information.

Sorry to hear about the accient, unfortunatley i have had a few of my own. My first was my moms m-benz when i was 15 yrs old, and if i learned anything from that accident it is that experience is the best teacher. Cars are easier (and cheaper) to fix than people. glad to hear that you are alright, best of luck in the future

i'm way too lazy to read all these pages, but in short: glad youre ok and getting a new 8.

Some serious conversations ensued in here Morgan......but you are right. We are lucky everyone is alright....

People need to learn how to drive....

People shouldn't give him crap just because he's young and his parents bought him the car. Hell, my parents bought me my 8, and according to the insurance guys, I will definitely be killed before I am 25 if I drive a car like this.

Well guess what. I have a completely clean record. Not even a speeding ticket.

enforcer

Sounds a bit far out for an Insurance broker to say something like that dothakRAVE....and if he/she said it like that they are out of line.

On the other point you are very lucky not to have got a speeding ticket...hope you can stay that way.

I was sarcastically referring to the statistics. Younger than 25 + Sports car + Male genitalia attached to insured individual = insane premiums.

I've never gotten in trouble with the cops. It's about driving sensibly. 100% of my "close-calls" are from idiots who were driving while talking on their cell phones. That, or they were pure idiots.

God, nothing on the road angers me more than people who drive like idiots while on the cell.

Personally, basic signaling and being aware of who's around you at all times saves trouble.

I have a feeling that after I say all this, I'mma get wrecked today. BBL, time for another rev.

enforcer

I agree with you on the premiums. Its a joke. You appear to have a good head on your shoulders and for that reason you also won't get wrecked....!

Take care...

i seriously have no idea bro, i'll try and contact our local car auction place, its where my car is being auctioned off to whoever would like to buy it AS A WHOLE. A single buyer is going to buy the car as a whole and he/she can do whatever they please with it. I will do my best to keep track of the vehicle and give you guys the contact info to the buyer to see if he/she is parting it out.

why i didnt take out the exhaust and only the intake??? well the insurance company was going to give me 200 bucks for the exhaust (which was half what i paid) and they were going to give me very minimal for the intake (which was 500 bucks) so i decided to give them back their cash they were going to spot me for the intake and put the stock 1 back in it. I dont have the stock rims so i couldnt swap those out either.

Thats good, but how long have you been driving the 8?

Also, to Ivory8, I'm glad to hear everything worked out in the end.

How do you loose control of the car at only 35. This car handles like a dream. The only way i could see you loosing that much control of the car is if you were flooring it/ had your DSC off (witch is bad to do if your a beginner) with some gas added to it.

the only way i have lost control of the car(and that was on purpose) was when i had the DSC off and truned hard and floored it while in a low gear.
