Let me preface to say, I was being a dumbass for racing and this was the result of my stupidity. It ended up that I had understeered around a corner on a wet road and I ended up over correcting after fish tailing to begin with. I ended up hopping a median, hitting a tree sideways, and then it spun me around on the other side of the road. I'm just thankful there were no oncoming cars on the other side where I had landed. I was hoping I could salvage the exhaust.

Bring on the flame as I deserve it. I'm currently looking for a replacement, but I'm hoping to find a UA7 Type-S after hearing how much my insurance will give me for this.

Onto the pictures . . .

 

NOOO that hurts to see!

What were you racing against?

 

Glad you didn't hurt innocent victims.

 

A SMART car.







Nah, it was a VW GTI. The guy was actually nice enough to stop and ask if I was OK and if I needed his info. I told him that he can go since it wasn't his fault.

 

Dibs on ATLP exhaust.

 

dumbass.

 

 

at least you didn't harm anyone. you should keep the racing at the track. people's lives are at stake when you drive like this.

 

ouch. glad to hear you or anyone else was not hurt. take this as a lesson, learn from it and move on. good luck.

 

Shame.

Glad you weren't hurt. Lesson learned I suppose.

 

^^^ This....sorry dude.

 

Play stupid games, win stupid prizes.

Glad to hear you're ok, and trust you will be a better Acura owner, person, driver, and citizen of this planet from hereonin. Some don't get a second chance.

 

Hope insurance doesn't find out you were racing.


Lucky you didnt get a ticket

 

Good thing your okay.. I was hoping to meet you at the meet that was supposed to be going on this sunday .. on a lighter note though I call seconds on your exhaust if you do plan on getting rid of it

 

Learn how to race...

 

From what I could see when I had looked underneath, the muffler looked to be pretty bent.

 

 

I find it funny how some people have smart remarks because I'm sure everyone on this forum has raced on the streets before. It could have easily been one of you. Anyways, At least you're okay and good luck with the insurance.

 

shouldve known that TLs understeer like a bitch. lesson learned.

are the wheels salvageable?

 

did the airbags in your seats deploy? doesnt look like it in the pics.. black interior ?

 

The one that says dumbass to a dumbass doesn't realize that he's a dumbass for saying that because it doesn't help the original dumbass whatsoever.

 

Racing around a turn in wet conditions. No offense dude, but who the fuck does that? Atleast you werent driving a car with serious power I can only imagine what could have happened. You were VERY lucky you didnt hurt yourself, or someone else.

 

word.

 

I don't think it was smart posting that this happened racing. Insurance companies are on forums checking these things out now. I know because a friend of mine does that for GEICO.

 

good your alright..and the other hand i think you should go lower.

 

Tough way to learn a lesson, but it sounds like you "get it" now.

Glad no one was hurt.

 

you deserved it, but the car didnt.

 

No one deserves that no matter how dumb they are. People are becoming more ignorant on AZ.

 

...Did you win?

 

the TL did nothing to you

 

Learn from your mistakes. Good thing no body was hurt.

 

he asked for it literally. re-read the OP.

Doesnt deserve it? How about driving slower and not racing? would this have happened then? Chances are nope. He did deserve it as a result of his actions. It's not like he accidentally raced a GTI. Sometimes people dont realize when they do stupid crap they're gambling with their car.

the people that didnt deserve it would have been the people he flew into had there been oncoming traffic. Imagine another AZ member casually driving the other direction and the OP flew into him totaling both cars. You'd bet people would be up in arms about it.

 

At least your ok dude, and Gl on finding a UA7

 

Man another good TL down sorry to hear this. What type of tires did you have? did you ever upgrade your fsb?

 

Can't believe the front lip is just hanging off the tow truck like that.

 

Nope, all 4 wheels are destroyed.

Yep, the passenger seat had deployed along with the side curtains as you can see. Yes, black interior.
I've already admitted and you know what they say about admitting you have a problem
I didn't realize the road was wet until I had rounded the corner. It was from the run-offs from the sprinkler system, but that doesn't excuse my stupidity . . . I admit that. As for a more powerful car, yeah, that would definitely scared the crap out of me more.
With how much negative camber?
Thanks. And yes, I tend to learn my lessons the hard way. This blows.
Well, people have their opinions. Their criticisms are correct when we do boneheaded things like this.
Yeah. You can ask Bob Barker.
Yep . . . most definitely on both counts.
You're right. I am really thankful that there were no other cars coming on the side of the road when this had happened. I don't know what I would've done had I injured other innocent parties. This has really put things into perspective for me.
Thanks dude! Most UA7s I've found have been mostly automatics.
Thanks dude. Tires I had were Falken 452 and I had never upgraded the FSB nor RSB. FML.
That's the awesome power of the 3M tape!

 

I know he said it, doesn't mean we have to put more salt on the wound. Just cause he says hes OK with it, doesn't mean everyone can't have some integrity as he admitted that it was his fault (at the same time, you're paying attention in what he was doing wrong, instead of actually thinking about HIS condition). In a sense, he did deserve it, but my problem is how it is being said. Almost like saying, hey you smoke, 10 years later, you died from cancer, but hey you deserved it (catch my drift? even though its obvious-- its disrespectful).

 

Ouch! poor TL. I'm glad that you're okay and able to walk away .

 

Wow! Glad youre ok man. At least you man up to it and take it as a life lesson. Best of luck to you on getting a replacement vehicle.

Damn dude, I'm so sorry to see. I loved your car
