is there really a TN Curse ? because i...

[shook]

just crashed my car tonight ! lol... fucked up man, i was going into a loop turn going on to the freeway and was taking it faster that normal drivers do but nothing out of the ordinary for me. I was in the turn perfectly fine.. everything normal untill i was just about out of the turn and all of a sudden my front tires gave out and started understeering, i tried to recover a couple times and right when i thought it was over and the car was straightened out it went left and i hit the guard rail with my driver side front fender and corner of the bumper. I had two friends behind me that said they saw a dust cloud when they got into the turn and one of my friends even said that he felt his car give out a little when he wasnt going too fast. I think i mustve ran into a dirt patch while into the turn which caused me to understeer.. i was probably going about 25 - 30mph by the time i hit the guard rail.

Im not hurt so thats a good thing and the damage doesnt look that bad i think.. my front driver side fender is fucked and my front bumper is fucked, gonna need new driver side headlight,driverside corner light and driver side turn signal.. oh and i got two scratches on the driver side rear fender from when i bounced off the rail i guess the back nipped it. I duno if i mentioned but i just got a carbon fiber hood recently too ! lol.. the hood is actually ok except the hinge is bent and the corner above the driverside headlight is chipped but i think the hood can be fixxed. I guess im lucky because my rims didnt get touched and i was still able to drive the car home perfectly fine, the alignment seems straight still and of course the engine is running perfectly fine still. All in all it was a fucked up night.. could have been alot worse but then again couldnt have happened at all. Ill take pictures tomorrow and if someone could host it for me thatd be coo.. im gonna try take it to a friends of a friends bodyshop and see what the estimate is gonna be, i dont know if the frame is bent.. if it is i hope it isnt too bad.. ;\ i guess we'll just have to see whats gonna happen to my poor Camry

[Razo-E]

just be glad it's repairable..

and of course, drive safely..

I hate this damn curse, well I believe in it. I'm selling my Camry because I;ve crashed 3 times in less than a year. I never had such bad luck in my trooper. I'm thinking about possibly just selling my car and using that money to invest in the trooper. Not much of those runninga round that's customized.

hasnt happened to me...yet

[87Camry5Speed]

That sucks dude... I doubt the frame is hurt though, if like you said the alignment is still good... Like the old Monty Python song went, "Always look on the bright side of life"

im a haole, i just guessed at u lol. yeah the traffic is horrible out there, and prob. 3x as bad since I left. But that's where I grew up, went to St. Joseph's in Waipahu. Still have a lot of friends out there. I think I'm making an appearance there as well this summer

How big is kapolei now? I remember before they built ne thing, there was just big open fields behind my house and all the ash from the sugarcane would get everywhere. when i left it was starting to get developed and 2 summers ago they had that big water park and everything....

hope there is no curse! I love my baby!

well the Camry is the the bodyshop as of today.. it had about $4300 worth of damage (parts and labor) and the frame was ok just the upper tie bar was bent and pushed the passenger side fender over a little bit. My friend who owns a bodyshop is taking care of me and i supplied him with major parts (fender,bumper,upper tiebar and will probably get the lights) my cost so far is around $3200 for everything, my carbonfiber hood is also being fixxed. The car is being stored at the shop and being stripped for now but they wont get to it till after the holidays so its probably not gonna be done till late january or early feburary. Anyways, things seem like itll turn out good but it still sucks that i crashed it and have to spend $3000 to fix something that i wish didnt happen ;\... $3000 couldve gone towards my 5spd swap ! but.. things couldve been alot worse so i guess i am lucky , drive safe everyone !
