Dang man, sorry to hear. I'm glad you are ok though.

 

Holy crap that definitely sucks...you've had a bad run with having stuff stolen out of the box and then this!?! Seems like your rim fund won't be going to rims anymore

 

yeah ive had a long series of unfortunate events for about the last year... it sucks

 

my thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. I hate seeing broke boxes. Bring it back to life and roll out more G than ever next time round.

 

thanks!

 

Or you could be the first in your neighborhood to drive the New xB. Pricing is supposed to be out Thursday, but some dealership jumped the Toyota gun and posted it. (It wasn't me. I didn't do it.)

 

Josh,
I can't help but think your luck is about to change. It makes me so sad to see the pictures of your car. Think positively--you're overdue for some good news. I'll send vibrastions to the insurance adjusters. (Or try to, anyway.)

Maintain.

yeah i just seem to be in a long down period... my dad said he had about seven years of issues when he was my age b4 things started getting better... i hope mine isnt that long

 

that sounds like me too, josh,hopefully our luck changes!

 

Just don't do what I did during my down period. Mine lasted from 19 until I was 22. Mid way through I joined the Army reserve. Hey at least with Basic training I got out of town for three months.

 

i just got a call and my car might be done by monday or tuesday!!!

 

NICE!!!!

 

man it sucks though... the hting i put the most itme and effort into got all screwed up and i dont have the resources anymore to remake it... im talking about my custom grill

i made it in my auto body class in high school last year

 

You should call up the teacher, tell your story, and maybe they'll let you in to use the shop again!

 

oh im still cool with Johnson and im sure he would have no problem with me comin in... but i have my college durring the day and stuff so the time is a huge issue... but i have a friend sean who is really big into cars too and we may get together and work on another bc he wants to do some fiberglassing on his audi

 

so what is the word on you box josh?

 

my dad said if he didnt hear from them today he would go talk to em and check it out

 

What you experienced was snap throttle oversteer. You may have been able to save it had you stayed in the gas and steered through it. I'm not sure what your level of performance driving is, but this is something i learned very early on in my race car on track . . . if the rear end starts to come around in a fwd car, DO NOT get out of the throttle as it will cause the rear end to come around quickly. I was taught to counter steer and add moderate throttle to power out of it.

Of course none of that helps you now and its really counter intuitive and not at all instinctual if you haven't experienced it before.

 

yeah after it did slip i did try the countersteering but i also let off the gas

 

awww weak dude
