Soooooooo basically after building this car up for 4 1/2 years, this is what happens to it. Some **********er in a porsche decides he's going to pull out in front of me to pass a slow pick up truck in the fast lane. I guess the guy in the porsche didnt look to see if someone was next to him and just went. I was coming up at around 60 trying to pass both of them and he pulls out in front of me, causing me to slam on my brakes and swerve left, hitting the truck he was trying to pass. My schroth harness held me in place and all I got was some nasty whiplash. The guy in the truck I hit had no insurance and possibly no liscence either. None of this ever went through insurance. Got the engine pulled and its at the body shop getting repaired and repainted white. Seriously guys, whats the ******* point of building a nice car anymore? I never really got to enjoy the car because Ive been too worried about breaking something or getting in an accident, now look what happens.

It's a fact: people can't drive.

Yea...it was just a natural reaction for me to turn away from the car I was going to hit.

you realize the whiplash could be worse than it ireally is. And that you pay a premium on yoru policy against having accidents with uninsured motorists. Also I don't know how it works in teh states, but if you get into an automolbile accident and you fail to report it to the police, it is a fellony.

Sheiiit! your car got munched, glad you are ok though.



After a resto process that lasted 4.5 years, then to have this happen, I think I would have just puked, man, that really sucks.
