^that's a joke

I was 57 northbound when a red 06-07 civic sedan (I think) tried to cut me off, almost clipped me so I braked and spun out, hit the center divider, spun some more. That car sped off, as you can imagine he or she was in a hurry. CHP said they stopped a car that matched the description.

I'm extremely lucky I'm alive. By the time my car stopped moving I was facing traffic in the carpool lane in mild traffic. There was a government worker who was heading in the same direction and he stopped traffic in the carpool lane for me and put out a engine fire that was going on while I was sitting in my car deciding what to do and who to call first.

Just to set things straight, I don't hold a grudge against that other driver (not to say I'm not ____ed off at the circumstances) I just wish he or she would drive better and that all wreckless drivers would drive safer or get off the road. If you're speeding because you're late for something it's better to be late a couple of minutes than for the rest of your life (or take someone else's life). For those who speed because it's thrilling, you need to seek help.



I don't know what's going to happen yet so please don't ask, I'll try and update if you guys want to know. This post was just for ya'll to enjoy pictures as I know you guys do. Please try to keep the thread free from bashing, we hear it enough.


Take care and happy Good Friday/Holy Week/Tridium/Easter to all you Christians who know what I'm talking about.

So it's been a long time, SL. Immediately after the accident, my insurance deemed me responsible for the accident because there were no witnesses and there was no other party to fault.

Many months later, I get a letter to appear as a witness in a criminal subpoena.

It turns out, and I just found this out this week after appearing in court, that the guy who caused my accident was followed by a driver who was behind me before the red civic had cut him off. He followed him to CSUF, where the police met them up. I cannot express a more sincere gratitude for such a good-willed person to take time out of his day, let alone put himself in such danger to make sure a wreckless driver didn't get off clean.

The bottomline: he, the driver of the red civic, was convicted and charged guilty of wreckless driving and non-contact hit and run. He has been sentenced to 5 days of jail time and I didn't catch how many hours of service with CalTrans.

I just thought ya'll might want to hear the guy was caught, as I know how you feel about wreckless drivers.

New mods look Horrid man... Might want your money back, especially for that EBay Front Bumper... Doesn't even fit right!

Sorry to hear about the car man, but a car is a car, and can be replaced. Main thing is that you are ok. I'm glad to see that. Keep your head up, thats what we have insurance for right?!

it looks just like my car that was crumpled by a hit and run driver, except the entire front end was taken off... it was totaled, and i hate to say it, but yours doesnt look so good either. sorry!!! glad to hear you're ok though!!

Dang, sorry 'bout that man. tC safety FTW.

I guess it's true, the best way to mod a car is to smash it into somethin'.

Jeezz, sorry to read about that. Sure glad you're just doin fine. And you did a terrible job doing your new mods, they make my eye sore... j/p

dang that sucks man......

Damn those mods look rice...

On a more serious note, im glad your ok. Better to break your car than your body.

Glad to see you're ok...and I hope they fry that guy in the civic. :eyebrow:

Glad ur ok man! I'm going to take a WAG and say insurance co. is going to total it!IMO!Hope everthing works out for the best for you!Good Luck!

even thought the new mod does make you car lighter .. it really not working for me.. and the hidden headlights might gavie you a safty problem at night.. but i do like how much air flow you cooling system is going to get..

but sorry to hear what happened to you.. Hope things turn out good for you .. but glade to see your ok ..

damn that sucks man. That last picture looks so depressing.

hope your insurance sees everything through.

might wanna get a refund because those mods look horrible...

Glad you're ok man, hopefully it will all work out for you

I :love: L.A drivers!!

NOT!! :flame:

I used to think they were the worst, but now I think my city (Fresno) has THE WORST drivers! I had friends from S.F.,L.A., and out of state tell me that. The best has to be the van on the freeway that had a handicapped emblem on their license plate. This person was TRYING to drive, smoke, talk on her cell, open her mail, and drink a soda all at one time! As if being 'handicapped' wasn't enough?! How do I know this? I was next to her for 3 miles. (I observed all this after passing her because she kept swerving into my lane when I was behind her.)

Anyways; I hope your tC get fixed or totalled. What happend to you totally blows! GL.

Your ok and that's what matters! Sorry though.......it's totaled!

damn, i know all to well what your talking about.

i saw the thread and was like SICK went in and wen uuuuuugggghhhh i was really disapointed hoping to see a tc with some new shoes of a intecooler hanging around or something istead i get a tc with a face lift

but lol all joking aside that really sucks hope stuff works out for u

It'll buff right out.

But seriously, I think it's better they total it out rather than try to repair heavy damage. It would never be the same. Get a new one and don't mod it like that anymore.

hehe thanks for the kind words and good sense of humor everybody... take it easy&take care...

Glad u good... sorry to see this mod

Dope mods. But i think you might have a little cop trouble with that visor on the hood of your car.

Sucks dude. really don't know what to say.

Two good things came from this . You are well . AND , look at picture # 4 . The other driver gave you an excellent looking retrofit headlight that shows what looks like an awesomely perfect cutoff ! Now you can do the HID kit if you wish . Erm .....sorry dude . I had too . That is one HELL of a cutoff . :clap:

Last picture looks so sad.

Glad you are okay

it was indeed a sad and frustrating day...

Sorry to hear about ur situation. But man, ur a bigger man then me, i would prob hold a grudge against the driver at least, not that i would be able to do anything. Hope things get better for u.

That's exactly why I don't hold a grudge, it does nothing but cause more trouble and feelings I'd really rather just let go.

Just, for the love of mike, stay safe out there!

sux about ur car...good thing ur ok..i know how u feel i was rear-ended on the freeway about a month ago and im finally going to get my car back on tuesday...do u go to cal poly pomona?

yessir I do =]

I'm glad your ok man

spun out on soft ___ breaks? that sucks

sorry to hear about your loss, i know what it feels like to spin out on the frwy, i just lucked out and only hit a bedliner, hope Insurance gives you a break on it

ouch man that really sucks..
glad to see that your ok tho

And the car..........was she laid to rest.

definately, she was deemed wrecked =[

We need more people like that in the world. I'm glad the person didn't get away. Is it safe to assume your insurance company reversed it's decision? Also, what are you driving now?

ya, what are you driving now, and how does your insurance company feel?

^ x2.

I'm driving an 07 Camry Le now. It's a great car, but I've never felt the same after the accident. I miss my baby, but it's no biggy.

I need to wait to get some letters from victim and witness services before I contact my insurance, but they better reverse their decision--I'm sure they will.
