Ill post pictures tomorrow, but it went something like this... I was hauling ass through Westguard Pass, enjoying myself and blowing off some steam, and I decided to back off it after a while, well i was doing a minimal 45 mph pace when i came upon a VERY steep downhill section leading into a turn, well I got airborne with all 4 tires, hit the ground, did everything i could to save it, hit sand, went side ways and went right through a road side pole. I kept going and slammed the drivers side door into a giant boulder and then bounced back onto the roadway... the car would not move. The front suspension is massively shot, the front tires are pushed back into the wheel well, and the drivers side door and underneith it are heavily damaged... other than that, i saved my friend and I's life with some quick reflexes and not panicing in the situation. I will hopefully be able to pay my deductible and hopefully the car will come out in decent shape. My life is pretty much shit at this point, and I can only hope I can get out of this shit hole town ASAP.

:shock:
Glad to hear you're okay. If it's as banged up as you said, it'll prolly be totaled. When my friend rolled his RS, it was really only damaged on the roof and the front bumper, everything else was cosmetic, and it was totaled. ![]() Good luck man, hopefully things will work out!

Well, its not pretty, but its not as bad as i thought either. The drivers side is pretty messed up, along with a suspension component (the bottom part of the A-Arm) being crumpled, the drivers side door and under panel are shot, will have to be replaced. Its going on the lift tomorrow to at least get the suspension fixed. The rims are toast, bent and marred, so its time for a new set. The front bumper is crumpled on the passengers side, but not too bad. There are rocks that have my steering geometry jacked up as well lodged in just about every piece of suspension work. Oh yeah, and not to mention my insurance will not be covering it because my wife neglected to mention that i didnt have coverage as of the 5th of this month.

Sorry to hear about your wreck, I'm glad you're OK. I'll sell you my 18's for a good price, but someone could probably sell you their stock rims cheaper. Mine are Konig Toxxins, 18 X 7.5 with a 45mm offset. Tires are nearly new 225/40/18 Sumitomo HTR+, which are great all season performance rubber. Oh, and the wheels are painted gunmetal with a polished lip. Check the doink.net galleries, there should be some pics in there somewhere. Make me a reasonable offer and they're yours. You can e-mail me at khail19@hotmail.com. Good luck with the rest of your repairs. If you need anything that NAPA would carry, I can hook you up with a good deal too (I work there). We won't have much in the way of suspension stuff, but if you need anything e-mail me and I'll check if I can get it for you.

I missed you guys, I was running late getting back to work. And that new drive up ATM drives me nuts cause you can never see the screen when it's sunny out. Plus they put it at soccer mom SUV height. Bastards.
