Default Who here has crashed their R?

Post if you've crashed your R. Tell us about the situation and the extent of the damage.

I myself have hit a curb while driving on a wet road. Took a turn too fast, make the mistake of braking while turning, lost control and plowed straight into a curb. Broke my front axel.

Your turn guys...

Default ouch!

tried taking a 90-degree turn at 70mph, but should have done it at only 50mph.

car tried taking on the curb and the curb won!
I ended up with the back of the car against the tree and the front almost up against the pole. Luckily I didn't roll into the tree poll or the wall. My buddy ended up in my lap. I say to him, "On a scale of 1-10 how bad did I just **** up?" He is drunk and says.....,"Duuuuuuude! You're off the charts! You fucked your **** up!" I was like yeah thanks alot now get off of me!


you can see where I took out chunks of the curb and you can also see my skid marks on the white of the ground

Going to the bank at lunch from my office. You turn onto a on ramp to a minor highway to connect to a main one. Then as soon as you are on the main one, you take the first exit to go to the Mall and my old bank. They just had a light, so it often backed the exit up onto the highway, and often times onto the OTHER merge.

That day was one of those days.

There were a few cars trying to merge left from the first ramp onto the smaller road, so I zipped around them to get the exit to get on the highway to go to the bank, well, I always hit that ramp at about 75-80 because it is a nice banked sweeper (that I've donwe at 110 at night with no traffic).

As I looked back to hit the corner, I saw the line of cars stuck waiting to get onto the OTHER ramp off of the highway that you can't see in the corner because of high banks. Rather than plow into the back of the line of cars, I swerved to the shoulder still in the corner (doing only about 35-40). Right wheels went off into the grass, and the car got loose. I ended up tee-ing into a new '99 'Stang Cobra. The owner's Mom was driving it for the day ...... she never saw me coming since she was just sitting in traffic not moving. She was ok, but the right side of the Stang was fucked up, and so was my front end.

End result, new front end, lots of work, $8,500 in damage, but got it back two days before my wedding day! What a wedding poresent that was ............

Car drove fine afterwards, shop did a great job, you could barely tell it was in an accident except for the overspray in the wheel wells.
