Pics don't work.

Driving too fast for conditions, eh?

pandaCRX · Jan 22, 2007

yeah, and i was a bit tired...just getting off work in the morning...

how do i make them work? is it possable using ones i've gallery'd to this site?

Neil · Jan 22, 2007

If you already gallery'd them to the site, I would just link to the gallery. Otherwise, use photobucket or tinypic.com

Holy Hell!

Sorry about the CRX dude, hope you feel better

there...

pandaCRX · Jan 22, 2007

HackAbuse: thanks

i was told if it hit any further up....but that hasn't really sunk in yet, and im not sure if it ever will..

Angry · Jan 22, 2007

At least your alright dude. But I feel your pain.
You'll find another...

Wasuri · Jan 22, 2007

WOW! Glad you're ok. Plan to get another?

pandaCRX · Jan 22, 2007

hopefully, i was planning to put a Z in this one..but..well..things happen...right now i'm looking into how to list parts for sale to fund for my next rex

What engine was in this car? I may need a couple things.

It's sad to see another one go but it can be replaced. I'm glad you are okay. It must have been one crazy ride.

HackAbuse · Jan 22, 2007

Hey man, dont feel too bad. I totally screwed up my cobalt last year. Here a a couple pics:

While it may not look like much, the car was completely screwed. The entire Unibody was twisted, causing over 10k in damages. Although, at the time I had 3 girls in the car with me, so it would have been the way i wanted to die :wink:

Edit: I picked a fight with a guardrail too. I lost

pandaCRX · Jan 22, 2007

it was (and still IS) a D15

coldtotouch · Jan 22, 2007

Good to know you're ok man! Thats the main thing. CRXs (as much as I love them) can be replaced.

Tiersin · Jan 22, 2007

Anotherone bites the dust

. But at least you didnt. Are you planning on getting another one? I hate snow.

jmart · Jan 22, 2007

Sorry for your loss man, I feel your pain. Happens to the best of us. Mine looked the same when I slid on an icy road into a gaurd rail... but it was the left front instead of the left rear.

rex2nr · Jan 22, 2007

That quarter was shot anyway

Good to hear you're ok, but man I can't imagine that... Time to find another one

i couldnt crash in the snow if i tried unless im being careless or someone else hits me, but most of the time driving in snow im super alert and know what to expect. i just know how the car handles and i instinctively drive as per the conditions. lol kinda sucks cause i wish i would crash the teg and get a settlement from insurance. im ready for something new, but dont have the spare money. and i cant in my right mind crash it on purpose :twisted:

we had lots of snow yesterday and i took my brothers blazer out. popped it in 4wd, and went drifting on all the unplowed streets. and hit up some unplowed parking lots for some fun as well

not trying to belittle you or anything, but i hope this teaches you to be more careful and aware of the driving conditions. i go to college in WV, we get a good amount of snow sometimes. with any college town theres lots of drivers from out of state, and probably areas where they dont get as much snow, or have better plowing (some roads here dont get plowed at all) and the amount of people who arent capable of driving in bad weather is insane. i swear one morning i was driving to class and in like a 50ft section of road i watched car after car slide into a ditch or crash into another car. and i drive by without a scratch. at least the tow truck companies are making lots of money those days.

I hope you find another rex to replace that one, and I'm sorry to hear the poor thing suffered the way it did, but such is life.

I don't know if WV or MD takes the cake for idiot drivers in snow. The city around here people drive like complete tards, tailgating and swerving around when its icy out or snow is beginning to fall, melt and freeze. I'm amazed at the sheer idiocy I see on a day to day basis out where I live, but it just teaches me to drive safer and more cautiously. I've only had snow issues once, and that was in an old Lincoln with bald tires.

People here (I live in Bmore) drive like that all the time. They just dont know you are supposed to stop when it gets icy. Having lived in 11 other states and having visited 42 others... I will vouch for the DC area having the worst drivers. Although I think the NoVA drivers are much worse than the WV and MD drivers.

And to the OP: Sorry to hear about the accident. At least your OK. Stuff happens. Live and learn.
