So, the Integra is fucking gone..........
 
So I was driving home from a friend's house, which is literally in the ------- middle of nowere. So i'm actually only going 5 over the limit (45), when all of a sudden I feel a loss of control. Dirt is kicking up everywhere, so I figured the road had dropped off into a dirt one like it likes to do out here in the middle of ------- nowhere. So just as I am regaining control, I end up hitting a hole in the road right where it's repaved. That causes me to slide even harder since my tire blew, and the road once again becomes full dirt, which doesn't help my ------- situation at all. Next thing i know, I'm in a ditch. The damage is pretty bad. My front end is pushed in pretty far, and the frame is pretty badly bent. I drove my car out of the ditch to the side of the road, and it dies on me. When I pop my hood, well, the pictures will tell all.

Look how far the turbo is implanted in the radiator....just to show how bad the frame was pushed back

My intercooler, just chillin, on the ------- floor

The oil line kinked, since it was pushed so far outta whack by the radiator. I'm assuming my seals are ---- now since the screen on the turbo was clean this morning.

There's that hole. What ------- aim huh?

My tire blew out after I hit that hole and made me veer to the right. follow the skid mark....More ------- impeccable aim huh? Don't you love colorado's middle of nowhere pavement?

I just need a break from everything for a while you know? My ECU chipping ---- is gonna be suspended till who knows when. I don't know if i'm ever gonna do it again, or even ------- bother to build another car. I dunno, i'm just gonna try to get everything settled and figured out. Don't worry though, i'll be back someday. I get too ------- bored at work not to.

hey man, keep your head up, to be honest that doesnt look like to much damage, call the city and they will pay for your ---- (because of the pothole) i bet you could fix all the damage for under 500 dollars.

---- man that does suck ??? I can't beleive they'd leave the road like that without any signs or cones or something. Maybe it's time to go to the town with the situation and see if they can do anything for you... I mean this probably wouldn't have happened with some type of warning that the street was like that. :-\ Anyway if you need help with the ecu chipping let me know, I can take over for you.
