My Horrible Thanksgiving

CollinsE90 · 11-27-2009, 06:22 PM

Well i was on the way to my families house going down a 4 lane highway with a median in the middle, passed a state trooper doing 84 in a 65. As soon as i seen him I took this side road and when I did the turn was a little to sharp for the speed i was doing but not impossible, i hit gravel slash dirt and my car basically hydroplaned drivers side into a guard rail at about 50 mph. All my oil leaked out instantly and the whole front left as well as the left side of the car is gone. Im 99% percent sure the car is totaled because of the engine and other damage. Thankfully my car was a soldier and me and my brother walked away with absolutely no scratches. No windows even broke on the car. My e90 took that wall(so to say) like a champ. I learned my lesson by far but im pretty upset with losing my baby but thank god we both are ok.

Now im debating what i should do, i think im gonna get a 05-06 E60 because my n52 was base as hell because i didnt research what i needed to get on the car. So getting this 5 car will come with alot more goodies, and me being 6 foot 8 i will fit better in it

sorry for the long read but i felt i should let all my e90post guys should know about it, ill post pics when i get them from the police

i also got the ticket for 84-55 and smashed my BB..FML

Damn, still got a ticket? Salt in the wounds I'd say... bet that copper was beeming (no pun intended)

Glad y'all are ok though.

Mooreski · 11-27-2009, 06:34 PM

Ouch, that sucks. At least both of you are OK. Airbags go off?

yep, all 4000 of them bitch slapped me in the process haha, i felt like i was inside of a rescue raft when it was done

cb1111 · 11-27-2009, 06:45 PM

You're lucky that you didn't get a reckless driving and a "felony evading" ticket.

If you saw the cop then he saw you too.

But yeah, too bad you had to learn that lesson the hard way. Be thankful that nobody got injured.

jopa489 · 11-27-2009, 06:47 PM

Ugh, that's rough man. There's something to be said about the safety of these cars - glad both of you guys are alright.

the cop knew what i did but he didnt have his lights on when i did it so it wasnt evading, im not THAT dumb

zzzbullseye · 11-27-2009, 06:52 PM

WOW!

I can't believe you can even write about...I'd be in a padded room somewhere rocking back and forth and sucking my thumb... At least you're okay. Hang in there!

You've got your priorities in the right spot. Good luck!

Ender514 · 11-27-2009, 07:01 PM

damn that sucks! sorry man. seems like just getting the ticket now would have been worth it.

yeh i know, what makes it so bad he told my uncle he was gonna give me a warning because it was turkey day, he said he just let a girl go for 93 in a 65...part of me thinks he was lying to make me feel even more like a RA-tard

maswastage · 11-27-2009, 07:06 PM

Yeah keep that in mind for future reference. Getting a ticket sucks, but losing your car or your life sucks much more dearly. Good luck with your future purchase.

Sorry to hear bro!

i just got a 94 on a 65 on my way to denver!

At least you're still alive. Live and learn.

s.myrr · 11-27-2009, 07:38 PM

Glad you are ok - I can atttest to accidents happening, (it's been a month since my accident)... but 84 in a 65, in the rain, and you attempt to evade? You are going to get hurt or hurt someone else!

Go out and do some track days - get that stuff out of your system before you hit the streets.

BMdblU · 11-27-2009, 07:51 PM

Damn that's a heart thumper for sure.. at least you're okay!! Look at the bright side, you're getting a 5'er!

Dumb Bass · 11-28-2009, 12:39 AM

I'd rather total my car than deal with all the scratches in my paint!

Kidding aside, everyone is in one piece, its all good.
