Re: great, my turn to wreck my itr =( (Ross)
the damn garbage truck was backing out of a lane, but in the heavy rain i didn't realize it was moving until it was almost on top of me... when i steered around it the tail came out on me and the right side/rear went over the curb... and it was all over

Seriously though - that's a **** sandwich man.
Ben - sucks about the car but at least it doesnt sound too bad. Want to be in my sig too?
this crashing thing is getting way out of control. Since Thanksgiving, that's like 6. And I think 3 have come in the past 3 days??? Are we really cursed?

yeah, I thought I would never get in an accident, either...
damn, I didn't trash my rear wheel, but my passenger side skirt is f-ed up from my accident I had a couple of months ago. I ended up buying another set from Radley Acura.

Hate to say it but it's just natural attrition... Statistically we ITR owners are no safer than any other drivers, and no luckier...
lotus... who hopes everybody is more careful..

What is with all this **** happening to Rs?
My buddy with an 01R recently got it back from the body shop less than an month after being cut off by a minivan and knocking down small tree. Someone's already taken some paint off his front bumper and today he woke up to find a huge dent in his quarter panel. All this in less than a month.
Ben, please make sure you a pic of your car against the wall with all the graffiti on it to TypeRmsm. I'm voting for that one.
