O yea... cam/TN curse

Forgot to mention mine... although minor.

It was raining sometime last week, don't remember what day it was, but it was pouring down hard that morning. I was going to school and as I turned into the schools main road(right turn) I started sliding into the curb, there was nothing I could've done, damn I wish I had RWD at the time, drift instincts did kick in though or my front would've been messed up. I connected and instantly started to tear up.... I though I fucked up my car, I was able to pull over and assess the damage right away because there were people behind me. I was finally able to stop get out and look at the damage.... not a scratch on the bumper! Hooray! I started dry humping the car (why.. i don't know, was just happy my car was ok). I pulled off and finally parked.. took another look and realized that my drivers side front wheel was scratched up a bit. Thank god , that was a relief. I was just glad that I did'nt have enough money to buy rims at the time or they would've been screwed

O yea and the other story was... my friend who lives with me was driving home late one night on the highway(empty at the time), fell asleep behind the wheel and tore up the whole driver's side of the car because he hit the guardrail/barriers. The Insurance company called it a total loss because the damage is worth more than the car was (92 Cam 4cyl DX/CE ) He said he wants an altima now.... I smacked him and called him a traitor... the end.

I hate when I'm driving at night from my girl's house cause I'm always tired and roads here are hella dark. However I found a way to stay up. I just put on some really hype music and that keeps me awake and energetic.

For some odd reason, country music keeps me up.
I think its because I can't stand it, and it makes me cringe when I hear it.

Being awake allows me to now fall asleep.

Don't drive if you are tired.

hmm....here's a recent one for me.

just got in my car after getting off work and it was super foggy, (and rainy i might add) and i couldnt see outta my windows well but i backed up and i thought for sure that i was clear of this big post in the middle of the parking lot, but i was mistaken and i slammed into that post and bent the crap out of it, so i got out to look at the damage (a big parking lot light post, pretty heavy duty) and i had hit the post so hard that i sorta up-rooted it and it now leans over, then i took a look at my cam and it was perfectly fine, amazing actually..i couldnt believe it...so relieved...

well that's my TN curse story!

I wish my front bumper was that strong. I hit a pillar in a tower parking lot and now it's cracked and you can see the foam inside.

You have no idea how strong the gen 3 rear bumper is. SO many of us have been rear ended with no dmg to our cars whatsoever. I was hit from the back pretty hard from my friends buick at around 40mph and he totaled his front. The only dmg I recieved was my left light popped out. All I had to do was pop it back in. lol
