LSD + Rain + Stupid Florida Drivers that don't know the difference between an on ramp and off ramp =



I was able to keep it out of traffic, but the wall owned it. I was the only person involved, and other than a crushed soul for losing my dream car, and a seat belt shaped bruise around my chest and shoulder. Literally was driving home from getting the alignment done, just did plenum spacer, access port, and Carbonetic LSD last week, Sunday was my first drift event. Sad to see it go, but since I know this forum, have fun picking it apart guys.

 

Sorry to hear about the accident and glad you are OK.

Drifting is not for you. J/K lol

 

Part out? the pull out cup holder on the dash to me, shipped to 18407? Oh and glad you are ok and sucks that the car is totaled but you can find another one but not if you were dead!

 

youre a brave guy

lsd shipped to 98604 pls

 

aww man!
That's really bad.

 

sorry to see this happen.

alignment shipped to 33063? jk

hope you get back into another Z soon.

 

Sorry to see this, glad to hear you're ok. No need to pick you apart, I am sure you are hurting enough.

 

damn. that sucks.

 

Its just a car man, you can always get another one or something better. Glad you ok because your life is more valuable than a cars.

 

Glad you are alright OP.

 

So what was the main cause of the accident? Looking back what would you have done differently? Hopefully this was a learning experience for you.

 

I could swear my LSD makes it easier to drive in the rain

 

Accident was caused by some idiot slamming his brakes to take an on ramp as an off ramp, I broke and swerved around him, locked up and gave it gas to keep it out of the lane with traffic. It's a 1.5 way, so as soon as I lifted the throttle the rear end swung around, and I tried to correct, but at 80mph on the highway, your first instinct isn't to hit the throttle (which could have pulled me out of it; ie. what I would have done differently), so I hit the brakes and clutched in, and it swung the opposite way. I slid sideways, trying to counter steer, but didn't have enough traction or angle, so I hit the wall about 50. Both airbags blew, bounced off the wall, flipped around, and it stopped how the picture shows it.

I haven't heard from Geico yet, they're adjuster is off till monday. If they total it, I'm going to keep it, tube front, and buy a truck to trailer it so I don't have to pay insurance. If I change my mind, I'll send everyone interested a link to the FS thread.

 

ouch

 

Good you are ok, Geico is pretty good, I totaled a vehicle several years ago with them and they gave me no problems. Am still Insured with them.....12 years and great rates.

 

Dibs on the intake and plenum spacer?

 

point blank - you were driving way too fast.

slow down and don't defeat yourself.

rain? double your distances and reduce speed.

 

Sorry.

 

R.I.P.

Remember, when all else fails... put the right foot to the floor.

 

I can't for the life of me figure out those skid marks... They must be yours, no? How'd your car get to where it is in the pic? And yeah - 80mph is too much for US19 but everyone flies on it.

How do your interior body panels look? I'd be a buyer for some pieces that aren't scratched, previous owner demolished mine.
