So I'm fabbing a turbo manifold when I hear...
 
...Tires squealing from loss of traction......a pause......and then CRASH!
I grab my camera and run to the end of my street where it intersects another road, and maybe 100 yds from that point I see a nice silver STI.
Pics here:

Sorry I couldn't get any closer. I didn't stick around for the cops or tow truck since I had things to do but the fire dept. was there in maybe 4 minutes.
The girl you see in the pics was driving and it wasn't her car. She was crying like mad and she said " I can't believe I wrecked their car!" along with "Why in the ---- is he (me) taking pictures!?"
One of the guys that lived a few houses down said she was doing every bit of 60mph (35mph zone) when passing him and it sounded as though she had the throttle fully open. His house was maybe 70 yds from the impact. Mine is much further and I could hear the acceleration before the squeal.
Anyhoo, just thought I would share.

Hmm, not sure why the link wasn't working but evidently it is now.
The road forks to the right (and it's fun to take at fairly high speeds) and then sweeps to the left and straightens. She must of lost it when making that left sweeper.
I really don't know how the drivers side looks. I'd be surprised if it's unscathed.

I had a friend do something like that but in his civic....only difference is he slid into an on coming jeep and spent 10 days in ICU and 2 1/2 months total in the hospital. he almost died, jeep went through the passenger side and when it was done his head was laying on the front tire of the jeep. he was going 54 in a 35 and the jeep driver was going 45 in a 35.

dumb dumb dumb dumb

hope she gets a huge ticket :P

how do you bust a car sideways in the middle of a straight paved road

Heath 05-06-2007 11:32 PM

Re: So I'm fabbing a turbo manifold when I hear...
 
I think she just entered too hot becuase I can see skid marks where she went off the road on the right side a tad before skidding across to the other side and through the yard and garden.

Hahaha, I would've dumped the clutch and got on my merry way back on track to wherever it was I was going.

Yeah right, that would have made for some sweet pictures!!!

Re: So I'm fabbing a turbo manifold when I hear...
 
I think the fact that it has been raining lots lately helped keep it from rolling to a degree. The ground was soft and and the tires didn't catch but instead gouged through the soil.

Re: So I'm fabbing a turbo manifold when I hear...
 
is it just me ?? or is she kinda cute.... ??

Heath 05-07-2007 12:51 PM

Re: So I'm fabbing a turbo manifold when I hear...
 
Yeah she seemed to be cute although it was hard to tell since she was hiding her face and crying.

I didn't stick around to watch the outcome. I left before the state trooper arrived. The reason I knew it was going to be a trooper is because I could hear the firefighters radio chatter.

I would be highly surprised if she didn't get charged!

If you heard a crash there must have been a rock or something. Who knows.

Yep, that's true. I'll have to go check out the bank for an impact.

ya by looking at the picture it looks like she headed straight on with that imbankment and as she his it, it turned the car to where its at. shes very luckiy it did that and not plow into that truck in the driveway. but then again it doesnt look like a scratch on the car. you would think the bumper would at least be sitting off a little. ya i would of drove away lol
