completely totalled...

just another bit of advice for you guys... I hope you'll never be in this position but,

if your car is being held at a city tow place of something after an accident, GET THE DECK, SHIFTKNOB, and all that other stuff outta the car right away!

it'll get stolen quickstyle

l8 all, might have pics for you all soon...

I must have missed it but what happened to your car?

 

i let my friend drive it... completely totalled, he was racing it on Geary in SF, hit a car, spun out & hit a tree... =\

he's better now tho... i'm thinkin bout dropping the engine in a CRX er something now...

 

yea tow yards can be like that

well look on the bright side, at least u still got an A4

 

yeah hehe, i just found out they made a chip for it that produces 46hp and 100 torque

 

I don't get why euro cars can benefit from chips but our japanese cars don't. Sorry to hear bout that loss man.

 

I know what you mean..When they said they were holding the shell of my car, i just let it go because i didn't think anything would be left by the time i got there

 

yeah it's coo, =\ this isn't over yet tho... I still have my baby's engine
****, you guys are so much cooler then the people in the audi forums...

I think they benefit so much cause the chips turn up the boost, and the euro cars can boost a lot higher than honda's ... ?

 

okay... I just noticed the subject says "I the the", I think you guys figured it out already but it's "I saw the" hehehe

 

Sorry to hear it Good luck with the project if you decide to do that.

 

fixed

so did j00r friend buy j00 da S4?

 

cool! what's up yosh, thanks 4 fixing that for me

naw I bought the A4 myself... I'm inbetween decisions on what to do rite now, uprgade the turbo & mod the A4, or go for a type r hybrid

i was gonna buy a S4 but the one i wanted was bought the day before i found out about it

 

I see you got the WRX urself... those are nice, was gonna get one but I couldn't live with the looks hehe, but either way a kick *** car also...

 

i say pick up an eg hatch and use it as a fun track car. put all of your itr stuff on the civic. my friend just picked one up yesterday for $1500. 92 white vx, and it ran! no major body damage or anything. just my .2 cents.

 

sorry for your car man... its one thing to let your friend drive your r, but to let him race it

 

Dont forget to buy the car back, before the insurance company sends it to the auctioneer.

 

I would borrow your friend's car, and smash it up, and call it even. *******

 

huh? he's not tryin to sell it? he is just telling us about his future plans, anyway congrats on the a4, and thats why my R will never be driven by anyone else

 

Which is the reason that nobody else drives my car...there have been some very rare exceptions...

Man this totally reminds me of what happened to me. I was at a party and had a couple of drinks, nothing major. My friend begged me to let him drive me home in my car. I said ok, let him drive. He took the car at 90mph thru a left hand sweeper, with me yelling at him the whole time to slow down, he then nailed the breaks and looses control the car sliding sideways at 90 thru the desert, the car straightens out in just enough time to go head on into a tree. We then carrum off the tree and end up in oncoming traffic. I am so lucky to be alive. They didnt total the car though, ended up rebuilding it and it looks great now. They did a pretty good job. Only took them 4 trys (I refused to take anything less than their best work), 75 days total, and $14,000 (from insurance). The guy who was driving still hasnt paid me back my deductable, it has been 6 months.

Moral of the story, dont let your friends drive your car (unless you completely trust them).

 

that sucks.. did the air bags deploy? mine did.

 

Doesn't sound like the best of friends, eh?

 

No my airbags didnt deploy which is very strange to me. The impact was severe enought to bend the frame rail and even damage the engine mount enough to push the engine back farther into the engine bay. We both had seat belts on, I dont know if that affects the sensitivity of the airbags or not. We came off the road doing 90 mph and hit a tree dead on (probably traveling at 35-40 when we hit the tree) ending up in oncoming traffic and noone was injured even minorly. Just amazing. Kind of disconcerting though, that the airbags didnt fire.

 

I let him drive cause he hadnt had anything to drink, seemed like the smart thing to do at the time. And I was yelling at him to slow down before we entered the corner, in my post above it kind of sounded like I told him to hit the breaks mid corner (that was not the case). I still cant believe that it happened and I am the most pissed because the car can easily handle the corner at that speed. How can someone think they can try to take a car to the limit the first time they drive it? So disrespectful to me and my property. He was a pretty good friend, now I just like to kick his azz everytime we play basketball and football games.

 

Well, in this case if the airbags went off you might have gotten more hurt. At least the driver would have gotten burns on his hand.

Yeah, I would be righteously pissed off at my 'friend' for doing that. I hope you guys get over it, and that everything works out well for you.. but you know he feels shitty too dude. Cuz he knows it was all his fault.
