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.

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.

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.

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 *** in the semi.

Glad your OK.
