i was going about 70 on the highway, when a 18 wheeler pulls out wayyy too late for me to brake, so i turn to the left (thank god there was no cars there) and cuz i was braking, i lost traction and started skidding and was sideways. I pull it back over to the riight, and skid across this ford escape that was in the middle lane, and my passenger door was right in front of his car. He brakes, and i slide into a ditch where it breaks the control arm on the rear left tire. Then i'm drifting towards a f-ing fire hydrant that's in the middle of a empty lot, so i slam the breaks, and swing the rear end out the other way...thank god. i would've been slammed against it! i get out and find my rear left spring sitting about twenty feet out. sucks. the control arm (CV broke? i don't know what that means.) and some other arm thing (tower?) were broken off.
anyways, I just got a call. estimate is about $1200.
so, right now...the cops have a search going on for this 18 wheeler. Once they find him, this should be paid for.

What're you talking about Silverstone-Z? I totally completed the drift! Finished with style, and flair! Swinging around the fire hydrant probably got some ooh's and ahh's.
truckers never see my car, i have been run out of lanes more than once... but my car is completely black. i am surprised he did not see you with the LeMans. I hope they find that idiot but, i would not hold my breath. Glad to hear your all right.
come on man you gottta turn left to go right! someone obiviously hasnt seen tokyo drift or the movie cars....looks like you got some down time! but seriously atleast your in one piece unlike the car...this winter go find a cupple turns that are wide open or a parking lot when its wet...best way to learn!
