ok.. so heres the story

i went out to sunrise highway (in san diego/socal) to run it and take more pictures after last weekend with my friend on his bike.. well we were out there, on the first run, we ended up meeting another guy on a bike, so he we hung out with us and did runs too.. (me in my R, ben the guy we met, and andy, my friend on his bike).. so we were doing runs, and i was taking pictures of them.. then it was my turn for a few runs.. andy was going to take pictures and ben was going to ride with me.

so we go do 2 rounds.. and he was LOVING it.. anyways, we pull up and talk to andy for a minute, to let some slow truck get farther up, and then i take off again, up ahead i can see an STi coming down the hill, and we were about to hit a turn, and i see this evo come out of it VERY VERY wide.. straight at me.. in my lane.. i like "oh ****" and ben is like holy f*** and i slam on my brakes, the STi comes at me, and doesnt even try to stop, he tries to swerve around me, and sideswipes me.. i stop, pull off the road, and the STi takes off and never looks back. we run back to where andy is at and were like yelling at him to go catch the STi, so we get to the bikes, where they left them, and ben gets on his bike and takes off.. STi gets away.. he had a good 5 minute head start..

so basically.. hit and run.. whole left side is gone.. insurance place is calling me tomorrow

oh you have to be registered to view the full size pictures, but its free, and fast to sign up

 

so those two a**holes were racing and ruined a perfectly good R. thats fcked up man, but atleast nobody got killed or hurt . hope you get her back to mint. take her to the finest bodyshop you can find.

 

Hopefully now you've learned that "canyon running" is stupid.

 

no.. the two guys on the bikes werent racing anyone..

the sti was trying to get through it too fast and the retard couldnt stay in his own lane.. and hit me. then didnt have the ***** to stay around

 

sorry to hear that man, thats really sucks. you shoulda turn around and chase him....good luck with the repair

 

no..

canyon running is good. street racing is bad. canyon running and not knowing wtf you are doing is bad

just because you drive a STi or EVO.. it doesnt mean you know HOW to drive.. if you cant stay in your own lane.. stick to initial d

 

its like the guys that go and buy a sti hop on a logging road and roll it thinking its a rally car. its too bad about the accident man on the upside theres some nice before pics

When one is trying to push his car to the limit, one will inevitably go over that limit. If one never goes over the limit, there is no way to know where the limit is.

If one goes over the limit at the track, there odds of injury to self and others is far less. Nevermind the fact that the police won't write you any tickets. This is why you drive on the track. It is a safer and more controlled environment.

Since you obviously would like to hone your driving skills, why not take it to the track?

There are numerous nice tracks in California.

 

sorry to hear that accident man , hate those who think they got good driving skills

 

i wasnt there to push my car.. i know the limits on my car, and i stick to them. i was there mainly for the cruise, and to take pictures of my R, and my friend on his bike..

and when i say the limits.. im talking about the car handling, and MY driving.. im sure if a professional racecar driver got in my car, he would be flying around the corners at a buck+ .. i know my limits and i have no need or reason to push it on a mountain road.

anyways.. i totally agree with you about the track..

Your reference to doing "runs" in your first post made it sound like you were there to do the same type of jackass driving as the EVO and STi drivers.

 

some people are just stupid. especially if you hit someone and you dont have the ***** to stop. i hope karma catches up to him and fast


oh and get this.. my friend that wasnt in the car, he ended up leaving his bike on the side of the road, and his jacket too (full bike gear) and hitched a ride to the bottom of the mountain to get reception to call the cops.. within 10-15 minutes, someone driving by who had to have seen the accident, and the bike, stole his $300 jacket.. how jacked up is that?

ugh.. well i talk to my insurance people tomorrow, hopefully theyll tell me something good

 

thats sme fucked up **** very nice r ruined by stupid people. Good luck on bringing her back the beauty

 

Idiots on the street and now you got Idiots of next generation initial D wannabe!

 

I hope you can find those jackasses!

 

make sure you sue that STI driver's ***

 

Color of the STi would help

let me take a guess was it blue one?

 

I "run" my car all the time in this manner. I "run on freeways and local twisty roads etc. I see no harm in driving your car in this fashion . I can get a great feeling just driving at speed limits and cruising . Not to say I dont drive over the speed limit ever. People who preach track only track only mean well but not everyone who enjoys driving on the street is high on fast and the furious and drives like an idiot over their limit. This joker in the sti is lucky he didnt kill you and wasnt driving in the manner I have done safely for 12 years now. Hope he comes forward and admits his mistake.

 

Man that sucks about the car and the jacket.

Never should've left the jacket like that though. I don't trust anything anywhere let along a $300 jacket.

People suck

 

it was white.. theres a small picture of it my friend managed to shoot as it flew past him.. but too small to get any plates.

i took off his rear view mirror, and thats in some of the pictures as well, plus some yellow paint on it, so you know its from my car

 

That sucks man.

 

ouch, let us know what the insurance company tells you

Sucks that you were hit, but what were you doing out there in the first place? I don't get it.

Sometimes you make your own luck.
