shepworldwide Posted October 16, 2006 Report Share Posted October 16, 2006 i find most accidents like this to be very humbling expirences.i totalled my civc by taking out a lightpole @ 25mph.the reason why it was humbling to me is because of all the wheel/track time i had in the car i lost control going 25 off an exit ramp WTF. i hope you learned something and best of luck getting it fixed. atleast it's just metal n plastic and ur OK.now for the jokeswhat's the matter to much torque steer :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JHEIII874T5M Posted October 16, 2006 Report Share Posted October 16, 2006 Most severe damage could be the rear deltalink and frame misalignment. The rear deltalink isn't too hard to replace, but I hope you have the tools, time, and relative knowledge.Frame alignment... you'll have to bring it to a shop and depending on their mood and your relationship with that shop, it can get very, very expensive quickly.Good luck.BTW, being part of the "young crowd" myself, I too have done some less than intelligent things while driving... one of which resulted in my 850 (R.I.P.) being totalled. Trust me, whatever it is, a u-turn, speeding on an off ramp, on ramp, following friends... it's not worth it.Doesn't really matter the modifications you have done... don't care if you have R compound tires on there with a full track suspension, if you haven't taken driving courses and pushed your car to the limits on a closed course... you can't even begin to compare how it will react on the street with sand, debris, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
