just putting some finishing touches on it before tuning, i still need to construct some sort of crankcase vent system as well as a catch can for the fuel tank vent.

putting plates on it today so i can go get the front end aligned soon.

hard to believe as this may sound...i got hit in the ass today in 7...with 15 miles on it....punk kid not paying attention in traffic slams into it, surprisingly little amount of apparent damage, but a lot of cumulative damage, and i think it hurt the engine as well...its only happened an hour ago so the full spectrum of damage is yet to come...i am...quite unamused with the whole thing.....it was running perfectly....for 15 miles...details to come but looks like DGRR is out for me, i cant afford any more work on the car now at this point and im worried about a sound the engine is making.

GySgtFrank 02-06-2013 03:51 PM

WUT?

No, No, No! You wants I should rub'im out for ya? This sucks, I really wanted to see this at DGRR. :(

Wow.... sorry to hear than man..... that is so very uncool. Insurance should pay for EVERYTHING, even mechanical issues that arise from an accident..... it's not like you don't have the proof of how perfect the thing was running posted on YouTube prior to the accident.

trust me..i wanted to pinch his head off...i was furious...still kind of am.....but at least it spared the sheet metal, ill get pics up eventually, got a lot of stuff going on now, ill still try to make dgrr if the engine is ok, but its making a funny noise now that it wasnt making before the impact, so it will either get worse or not i spose, if its a bearing or something it wont take long to find out.

that is the second time i have been hit by a redneck in a pickup truck, the other one backed into my miata with his ford 4x4 and mashed up my front bumper, because all of a sudden while sitting in a line in a parking lot he decides to throw it in reverse and nail it....i think they need to ban pickup trucks from anyone without a CDL...maybe it will weed out some of these morons.

im floored at how my tail lights and rear sheet metal escaped damage, but it fucked up the paint at the door jams and hood/cowl where panels moved and impacted, kind of dented my exhaust tip and broke one of the hangers for the muffler, the bumper...is under scrutiny...i took it off, its not badly damaged but its not the same shape, i will attempt to straighten it, otherwise i will need to find a straight one...that might take a while...

pisses me off, that road is such a pain in the ass but it is the only road that leads east out of town, so everyone has to go down it, this ass hat was a kid, bout 17, probably on the phone, he had no biz doing what he did, traffic was stopped, been stopped, he was simply not looking forward....i had to tell him to get away from me...i wanted to knock him out..i was furious..as soon as it hit i just envisioned an impossible repair job to my once perfect shell.

now the insurance battle begins, but thankfully..being a car guy i have car guy allies, that have car guy lawyer allies that know people...car guys stick together...

I'm real sorry to hear this man, makes me sick!

speedjunkie 02-07-2013 12:32 AM

Negligence is one of the things that pisses me off most in an accident. Oh, so because you had something more important going on while you're DRIVING, your dumb ass hits me and possibly ruins something that JUST got out of the garage?! JUST BECAUSE YOU DIDN'T WANT TO PAY ATTENTION?! WTF?!!!!

If you get his address, let us know. I'm not into dudes, but I like Brian's idea. And this dipshit DEFINITELY deserves it.
