  • Sad Day

    Some ***** who barely spoke english pulled right out in front of me while she was making a left turn through an intersection at Berkshire and 14th ST NW this morning. Impact speed was 45-50km/h as I had not even a second to react to her stupity. My brakes were never applied. Witnesses say that the front of my car was airborn during the impact. Was out for a few secs. Got checked out and only have some sore muscles in my neck, back and arms, and a slight concusion. I'm going to miss my VR6. Best sounding engine I have ever owned and now its all gone. I was going to start building it into a rally/autoX car, but now thats all gone away. One thing I'm happy about is that I didn't put my new rebuilt VR6 engine in the car yet. That will need a home, so if you know anyone looking for a fresh VR motor and some other misc VR stuff, PM me. Enjoy the photos....

          Oh man, sorry to hear, glad you're alright. Think of it this way, everything happens for a reason...just be glad you're ok and cars are a dime a dozen. You'll be able to get another one and build it exactly how you want. Sometimes you need to let go and move on to another one...like with women lol

                      Your going to feel it tonite..shock wears off and then the impact sets in.
                      Take some advil.
                      P.S take a look for seat belt trauma as well.

                        Yah my neck/back were pretty sore 3-5 days later - don't do anything sporty for awhile even though you might feel fine in the next 2 days.

                            and yet my girlfriend couldn't get a license, but every day i see the worst driving imaginable.

                            shannon's a good driver, just not so hot on a stick shift. failed because of that.

                            was unbelievable.
