This is my older 03 6-Speed CL that i totaled a couple of months ago. Here is my story about how i fucked up causing one more of these rare gems to be gone forever. I was on my way to a car show at 4:30 am doing 110mph on a turn on San Dieguito Road and I lost control from sand on the road from a construction site. Then I was spinning for half a block at around 60mph until I hit a curb at 40mph and flew in the air into an embankment, taking out a speed limit sign in the process, which fucked up the whole side of my car. I somehow got out unscratched. I now have another Black on Black 03 6-speed with 53,000 miles thats in my signature, and yes i don't drive this one like an idiot.

This is where i was sliding, you can see how long i was sliding for by the long skid marks, i know it was intense!


This is where my car was sitting when it finally came to a stop, you can see the bushes flattened. (That steel sign bent in half is the one i hit by the way.


Now, for the pictures of all of this:










R.I.P Acura CL Type-S. November 22, 2002-May 2, 2009

P.S. I still haven't updated my avatar because i am waiting for my rims.

 

so where is this car now? u didnt buy it back from the insurance?

 

you murderer!

 

j/k. glad you didn't get hurt. we've all driven stupid at one point or another. shit happens and you learn from it

 

This car is in a junk yard. Insurance gave me 14,500. I used it to buy my new 6-Speed. The car was beyond repair

 

A- for effort. Some damage to the hood would have gotten you an A+.

 

Damage to the hood would only give me an A, you only get A+'s when you run over people.

 

Nooo. you get POINTS for hitting people. grades are purely damage to the vehicle.

 

Dammit! I forgot that rule.....

 

Exactly. Which brings up my next question, did you hit anyone? Preferably a hippy on a bicycle.

 

I did hit this one Homeless guy on a bicycle, all the damage you see is mostly all from that.

 

all jokes aside. im glad youre ok. also, picture number 4 looks like an awesoem custom color

 

Thanks, i am still amazed that i didn't get hurt. Pic number 4 has that blackish red coler, kind of like a Sharpie

 

that sucks. im gonna keep my eyes open for this on the auction. how did the car run and how was it maintained?

 

It was maintained by me and the Acura dealer. Only used OEM Acura replacement parts. The car was running fine even after the accident. I just couldn't steer it because of the front left wheel

 

damn they gave you 14500 thats a really good number. my old TL was totaled and i only got 10.5k

 

glad ur still ok man

 

Thanks me too

 

interested in some 19" 5Zigen 5ZR's?

 

another 6 speed to the market.....someone is in luck!

 

i think i remember seeing one 6 speed with same rims, but i think the damage was different.
i havent had time to check the auction, but i will when i get a chance. i'll jump on this if its close to me!

 

u still have the vin or the last eight of that car?

also what city/state was this in?

 

California, vin was 19UYA41603A008027

 

that sucks man. is it true that they only made about 3500 of the 6-speeds?

 

Dang man I'm glad you got away from that okay!

 

Yes

 

Thanks, me too.

 

yep. that was the one I saw. It was sold on July 6th at the San Diego Auction.

 

I knew it had probably sold by now, because i also looked and found it in the auctions when i typed in the v.i.n many many months ago, and i also looked for it again 5 days ago and it wasn't there anymore.

Is there any way to keep tracking it? or is it officially just getting parted out now?

 

no way to know what has happened with it now.

 

You're lucky to have come out alive with how fast you were going, glad you are ok and that you found another CL-S6

 

im sorry to hear that but 110mph on the curve, dude you have think about what are you doing while you driving you could kill somebody, i know its hard to think about it being 18 old but still... glad you are ok but anyway car doesnt look so bad was there a frame damage or what ? i wouldnt totale this car

 

I know, i was driving like an idiot. I had to total this car because the frame was very damaged and the estimated cost to fix it was going to be over $20,000.

 

You've just been bumped from an A- to an A++

 

 

wow! glad out of this one ok. Could have been a lot worse if you hit a curb at 40.

 

Thanks. Yeah i know im lucky i came out alive

 

You are a lucky guy. Remember not to drive faster than your Guardian Angel. SC your angel the next time so that he can keep up with you. Good luck with your new car. I believe that only 2700 CL-s 6spd were produced in 03.

 

just realized your car died on my birthday

 

3,511 to be exact. I guess that number just went down haha. 480 of my color combo, and now i have another one just like it of the 480. This one, i am not even taking a chance with. Im too scared to take it out of my garage
