    Default gone in 10 seconds

    Ok well i was cruising the deerfoot today at about 3:00. I was just crusing about 120-130 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

    Damn man! Looks like you probably put a good amount of elbow grease into that car too.
    You're right though, at least you're still around to get another one.

    Not likely if he was a BMW owner. Especially if it's M-badged.

    Sorry about the car. Good that you're okay though.

    Ouch.

    And here I was cursing at myself for nicking my side mirror while backing out today.

    Glad to hear that you're ok. Did you lose consciousness when you hit your head?

    to the mofo in the BMW!

    As they say; what's the difference between and BMW and a porcupine?
    The porcupine's pricks are on the outside.

    Of course there's no proof.

    I wasn't going to say anything, but I have seen that CRX flyin' down deerfoot weaving in and out of traffic several times.

    Although that may not have been the case now, I'll still believe it is.

    Just good that you're ok...

    I wasn't knockin' the car, everytime I saw the car, I loved it... I've always had a soft spot for a clean CRX.
