Post my car wants to be rambo

bad news but i think of it as a good opportunity to mod my car....

today i was driving down 280 normally. as i exit 280 on wolfe, running about 40 miles per hour i downshifted from 5th to 4th. and then disaster strikes.... i spun out. hitting a tree... then my car went rambo by the bushes. stuck, i have to jump out of the car and the bushes getting scratched up more than i was when i spun!!





i messed up 2 axles, my shocks and springs, brake lines, my front bumper (salvageable but fakkit i want new ones.), my right front fender, my hood, and my rare ( i say rare for only me and carlos are the last ones running it i guess) work s2rs.

i expected it that this would hit me, but not like this. well i only took one picture for i dont see the damage at all.. as for the engine, it was still responsive, hopefully i didnt damage it

please if you have any parts lmk. so at least i would pay less. i believe my car wont be running until next spring. and maybe ill show up in a different color . worst comes to worst i have to part it out and buy me a GPW.


as for me, i think i messed up my neck and my back. i have to go to the hospital tommorow. but thanks to my friends paula and jenifer who took me to the movies, drove me to mt hamilton and feed me in and out.. you guys will be good nurses. lol. i still thank god i walked out of this accident...

ive been into two and this is basically god's warning i guess.

well guys i already have a mechanic to look at it. just please lemme know if you have parts thank you please help me revive my s2000.

well, i promised myself ill come back bigger and better.

how did i spun:

1) driving without paying attention..

2) downshifting with tires that are in bad condition.

3) gunning it while wiggling..

so guys guys guys, better pay attention. let me be a role model. if you have bad tires, dont push it... now i believe all the gurus and veterans on this forum... the s2000 bites you when you least expect it.
