Default gone in 10 seconds

Ok well i was cruising the deerfoot today at about 3:00. I was just crusing about 120-130kph getting ready to turn off at my exit. I noticed a brand new m3 BMW in the fast lane and didnt think anything about it. But he came in my lane and slammed his brakes. I put my brakes on but didnt fully stomp on it, he came with in 5 feet from my car and i turned the wheel slightly to the left. As i did that my backend kicked out and i went straight into the guard rail. I hit it 4 times before stopping. I knew that i needed to get off this main road, so i started the car and drove off to the side. when i first hit where my 4 point harness was mounted the bolt snapped. Then i smacked my head on the steering wheel when i hit again and got thrown around after the next 2 times. Im pretty sad that my baby is gone but im more happy to have my life.



















This is where i hit the wall

On the bright side the BMW driver probably finished her cell phone conversation.

Yeah please tell me you meant kilometers per hour and not miles per hour... If you meant miles, well, i hope you learned your lesson. And ill echo what someone else said, dont use a harness unless you have a properly mounted roll cage or at the very least have the bar welded to the frame seperately. That bar could have come and bashed the back of your head in.

Sucks about the car though man, even with the body kit it looks like it was pretty clean. And glad youre ok too.

I'm glad your ok. 75mph is not that fast but you have to be careful in these little tin cars we drive.
