I took my car and my girlfriend out today for what I thought was going to be a joyride. Ended up hitting telephone pole, Im fine, girlfriends fine, front left fender on my baby is definitly not fine. Dont ask me how I hit it, I wasnt speedin or nothing. Im going to cry one more time and then go to bed, im still pretty shocked that I did it, Orange 73 2.0. I'll post picks tommorrow so you can all cry with me, cant belive I hurt my baby, I can hardly look at it, at least nobody ot hurt. Night everyone, talk to y'all sometime tommorrow.

THEY DONT SEE US! (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/ar15.gif) i've been there..... just got mine back from bodywork and paint after an accident that resulted beacuse the other party either wasnt looking or wasnt paying attention. theres nothing im more paranoid about than being alongside an SUV or truck wondering whether or not they see you coming up. drive careful assume theyre all going to cut you off or swerve into you and make sure to be ready to hit the horn at a moments notice. and practice super careful driving in heavy traffic flow situations, youd be amazed what kind of cars' blind spots a 914 wil fit completely into (minvans, even mid size sedans) my plan is to make my car: loud-(headers/5x10mflr., old style [awooooga] horn), noticeable/obvious-(bright [white led?] bulbs on signals, 100w h4 headlamps, 100w or better driving lights, super shiny turn signal buckets [getting them chromed now], and eventually a nice bright green metallic paintjob to catch the eye. most of
what i listed is accident prevention...for evasion (already mentionted a working horn) id recommend having a brake system in tip-top shape and tight steering/suspension for those sudden movements that may save your car when that lady on her cellphone switches from her lane into the one youre currently occupying in her several ton long wheelbase 7-8 passenger soccer/grocery-mobile. |
