Default Traggic Lose..

Went out saturday night with me and my friend in my car, and two other friends in there. Decided to take the griffith park and then I missed seeing an upcoming corner , I thought I would be able to control it but I felt my rear go over some debre or leaves on the road. My ass fish tailed and I started sliding towards the cliff, I realiz4ed we were ganna fall over so I countered and hit the gas bringing it away from the cliff, at that point my car was sliding completely sideways(inertia). I avoided the cliff but because I gassed it I got closer to the wall on my right, i hit the brakes and locked em and just held on trying to turn into the spin. Did one spin without hitting the wall and thought we might stop after but did another and BAM!! That first hit sent me on two more fast spins with me hitting the wall three more times then coming to a stop. My poor S is ganna get checked today but I'm sure it's totaled. The car from the rear to the beginning of the door is straight but the whole front is slanted to the left. Fram is bent badly. Just glad neither me or my friend were hurt. I will post pics soon.

from your story, it sounds like there is frame damage, but i doubt it is frame damage. i've been there, don't worry. it will get better. it may take a while, but everything will be better

Ouch, sorry to hear that. Glad you are ok. Looks like you need to put a S2000 on your kill list.

thank you, and actually I was the only one injured. After it happened I couldn't move, I had this encrfedibly pain in back, and I just sat there for a while till it got a little better. My main concern was my friend, during the time it happened I know at some point that I had no control anymore so I just automatically through my right arm out and grabbed him pushing him back against his seat. It just sorta happened that way, a natural reaction I guess.

Sorry to hear about your S, good thing nobody was hurt to bad.

If you passenger was a girl then that was a good natural reaction.

Glad your alright and your passenger too but it's sad to see another S2000 get totaled. By the looks of your signature it was bound to happen sometime.

(BTW, thanks for helping to increase everyone else's auto insurance rates.)
