Goodbye...for now.

It's been fun guys, but my car was just totaled an hour ago. Maybe I'll come back in a type-s?

Guess we all have to learn somehow.

Thanks for all the help you guys have given me!

Sorry to hear that bro. Your fault I'm guessing by the "we have to learn somehow" ?

At least you're still walking and talking.

Sorry to hear, hopefully everyone is OK.

And yes go with the Type S if you can and start modding ASAP!

that sucks man. Post pictures of the accident. And this doesn't mean you have to get out of this forum. There are plenty of ppl that dont have acuras any more and are still here.

I'll probably still stick around, but I think it's gonna make me miss my car more

It was around midnight when I decided to go for a drive in some twisties. My friend was in the passenger seat. Unfortunately, I didn't realize the road was still slippery (it was a -2 degree night (30F) and the turn was sharper than I had anticipated. By the time I hit the brakes to slow my car down it was already too late and I went right into a rock wall. Luckily, it was at an angle so the impact was probably distributed more evenly, sparing us major injury. Somehow I managed to get out unscathed but my friend ended up with a sprained ankle and a cut on his leg.

Engine was smoking and the hood was bent in pretty far. Also looks like the driver's side wheel wasn't on straight anymore - probably bent the axle. I think it's just another testament for our car's safety though

I'll try to take some pictures later when I go to the car lot to get my stuff.

oh man that sucks. Winter in Canada FTL. I have had alot of close calls this winter because of the stupid snow melting during the day and freezing over the night. THen in the morning there is black ice everywhere and you don't even realize it. Type-s would be a nice upgrade or AWD of some sort for canadian winters.

Wish it were that easy I'm stuck with a civic for a long while.. I don't even know if I can even get a low mileage type-s in the future

It was on Marine Drive in West Vancouver - was going for a spirited drive which ended up being a little too spirited (I was trying out the RSB) and the stock MXMs combined with slightly frosty roads resulted in this.

I know how it is, luckly i steer out of something similar with my S14, i know the feeling believe me. I've seen guys hit the rocks hard here in the twisties, some easy some not so lucky.

It is what it is, glad you are ok.
