Was just about finished w/ the restoration, shes gone now cant beleave it, well over 4000$ in parts frames most likely twisted. I might have pics later

 

damn...sorry to hear that..

 

who drove your car.? where was the accident?

 

yeah what happened?

 

i learned the same thing man... well my last car wasnt recked but it was weird that my tires were going bolled pretty fast then i eventualy cought on when i herd from other peeps in toun... " hey man that was a bad *** burn out i saw your car do the other day" now no one touches my new iroc but me. my friends can drive there POS dime a dozen grocery getters that there momys and dadys bought and pay for the insurence for them, while i had to buy my own car with my own hard earned money and i have to save and save to just get the dam thing on the road...

moral of the story is dont let friends drive your car i only let my women take my car if she wants to but she never wants to very much so its all good.

 

I dont even let my best friend drive my car. I let my mom drive it so she can get to work but thats about it. Its just a thing I have. I dont like driving other ppls cars, or letting ppl drive mine.

i have to say the same for me, the only people i let drive my car is my mom, since she has like 50 years of driving experience. i only let my best guy friend drive if i'm in the car with him. and i do NOT let my girlfriend drive..

 

The only person who has driven my car (without me in it) was my mom one day when my dad I needed to go to a junkyard so we needed her truck. The first thing she did: spill coffee all over my passenger seat

 

BTW, are you going to make this person that drove your car pay for it? Or at least beat the **** out of him?

 

Insurance?

 

i would let my mom drive my car, but she doesnt want to.. it scares her.
when i was in high school, after i put the 400sb in my 82, i let her drive it for a day....
she never wanted to drive any of my camaros again. all she said somthing along the lines of too much power. it was mostly the 14" tires on it... the motor made alot of TQ and it spun the rear tires at a lil over quarter throttle from a stop.. it wasnt fast, but fun... lil tricky in the rain.



i let a very very select few drive my car. all of them have/drive V8 rwd cars and are as fast or faster then me.. they wont go around the block and do a burnout... they drive my car more carefully then their own, and i do the same with theirs. i wont even punch it unless theyre in the car and tell me to.

 

I let my inner circle friends (friends you've known for years and hang out all the time) drive my Formula. I am not worried about it since they have the money to buy me a replacement car with all the mods, and I know they won't hot rod my car. My parents have no desire to drive my cars.

 

Sounds like a girlfriend wrecked a vehicle.

 

the only time anyone drives my car is my good friends when i get to smashed to drive home but thats not very often lol

 

ya, only people who have driven my car are my parents and thats when they absolutely have to, fortunately for me they don't like driving it.

 

Lubbock drivers are the WORSE.

 

Well i was riding shotty and second gear spun the tires hard he lost control and hit some rocks right before the woods at 40mph. The frame might not be twisted but i dont think it will ever ride the same again. Insurance isnt giving me anything as i dont have collision, just liabilty

 

Bad times. I would let pretty much anyone drive my car, but no one does nor wants to. Only people that have driven my car was my mom and mechanics.

 

man i hear that.........very sorry to tho. my dad has driven my car once.......that was to the mall (he took it w/out asking when i was gone) and managed to rearend a camry doing about 40 and totaled my old rs. thank G0D i have a bodyman in the family!!!

 

Well I let people i know well and people who have proven they can drive a stickshift drive my car.....

I would NEVER, under NO circumstances let anyone take it out of normal operating range and try to spin the tires or accelerate fast......

Every single car reacts differently in those conditions and no matter how good the driver is, if they are driving someone else's car, they don't know what to expect......

 

wow, sorry to hear that.....that really sucks.....even more when you almost got done your resto. well $h*t happens. hopefully the frame isnt twisted and it's repairable considering how bad the damage is. well good luck

 

ya, lubbock drivers really make me mad cuz they are very ignorant, i've had so many people ALMOST run into me it really pisses me off.

 

I think we discussed this several months ago?

My last class for college is over June 28, and then I am out of this city.

I have been all over Texas (exception El Paso and Brownsville) and out of every city I have been in, I have never seen more incompetent drivers than in Lubbock.

Some people say "yea well what about Dallas drivers, they suck". No, they might pull dangerous maneuvers from time to time, but usually they are SUCESSFUL at it. Lubbock drivers try to drive, but they just can’t, simple as that.

 

daddy always hotrods my car. of course he taught me how to drive so watever and he helped me build it and he has faster cars than me so i dont think twice.

 

i LOVE driving in dallas.

you want to go over 8 lanes? you can.


people actually LOOK IN THEIR MIRRORS before they change... because there could be a car going 40mph faster coming up on either side...

they drive in a agressive-defencive manner..... that is, they boldly state, im going over into this lane... and do it. if someone didnt see them going, they're ready for it and will hold back, but they still boldly say IM GOING HERE... none of this bullsh!t "i dont know what im doing" crap.



i hate driving in the south.
you end up at a 4 way intersection where they're all being "polite" and saying "no... after YOU.".... idiots, if you jsut went when you're suppost to, EVERYONE would go faster...

and heres another thing.

YELD = MERGE
YELD != STOP

and thats REALLY annoying when they have a entire lane to pull into so they can be at speed and merge...

ugh. i wish everyone drove like they do in dallas... short of a accident blocking 8 lanes, massive amounts of traffic flow easily thru there.

 

That pretty much sums it up.
I forgot about the drivers that sit at a red light waiting to turn right. YOU CAN TURN RIGHT ON A RED LIGHT DUMB MFS. Honking never works.

 

Damn sorry to hear what happened.

You guys should try driviing in the uk. Muppets on roundabouts who don't indicate. Prats who tailgate you on motorways (in the UK you can only overtake on the right). They always seem to be BMW and Merc drivers. Plonkers the lot of em

 

thats one of the nice things about convertibles.

when you yell at people, they can hear you. or atleast hear me. im loud.

i find it funny that we're seperated by a common language... btw could you define:
Muppets (i doubt you were referring to the puppets on TV)
Prats (??)
Plonkers?? (no idea what that means. never even heard that one)

btw, in the US, you can only pass on the left. well. legally, you can only pass on the left. its never ever, ever, ever enforced. and people will weave in and out of traffic... but then again, idiots sit in the fast lane, so that you cannot pass them any other way.

i love driving in europe. not because there are rules, but because people follow them better then in the US. if im flying up coming behind you, they actually LOOK IN THE MIRROR and move aside... they even use their turn signal when they do it.

i also love how they have a valid drivers test. you actually have to be able to drive competently before you recieve your license.
in the US... anywhere in the US... you fill out the 10-50 question MULTIPLE CHOICE quiz...(yes, some states only have 10 questions) and they say here: go learn how to drive on the street....
then after you drive for a couple weeks/months, the person just rides with ya, checks off that you used your turn signal and checked the mirrors... and you can drive...


heh. im ranting again. arnt i?
its like the 3rd time today..
its friday and im edgy.
[/rant]

 

Must be rough paying for gas in the UK.

 

I believe prats are rich stuckup folk

 

Paying for gas (petrol) in the UK is a nightmare and I can only afford to own a Camaro due to the fatc I can walk to work and the car is only used at weekends.

We have loads of nice abusive terms for annoying people. Muppets, *****, donuts, numptys, plonkers and prats are just a few.
Can be quite funny confusing you yanks sometimes. But then when I was in the States I had a mare of a time understanding people with a very strong Californian accent.

 

cali has a accent? lol, you think its confusing there, try living in the south. here its ebonics and redn3cks with a southern accent that dont know english.
go farther inland and people can talk without their top lip ever touching the bottom one. scary.


go upnorth to jersey and new york, and you'll learn all kinds of new abusive terms. sign language too.

from there, skip east to boston or anywhere around Mass and you'll hear the slightly slured together northern/boston accent...


they all seem to confuse people at times.... athough ive traveled around enough that i can understand most of them easily.

 

I was once playing CounterStrike with a R3dneck. Man I have no idea what he was saying.

Then again go to Nothern England and you get Brummies from Birmingham and Geordies from Newcastle and they may was well be speaking Swahilli for all I know.

 

yeh i hate people driving my car also, i only let my best friend drive it but that is very rare, and if he does it will only be like down my block, he gets to happy in my car ...my parents tend to drive my car without letting me know either, i wake up saturday morning and i found out there out running errends in my baby , at least the good thing about that is if my parents do crash my car they are deffinately paying to get it fixed

 

I went down south once. Said something and right away got "Hey your from 'joizy" Meaning Jersey. lol

And you say up north like NJ and NY but you would be suprised how easy it is to tell if somones from NY or NJ, people pick it out all the time

 

new joisy haha, i can hear it coming out of someones mouth already,

 

Ugh, can't stand that new jersey accent. Im from the bronx and I can't stand it. I hate when my cousins say "I axed him". *shudder*.

 

well the frame doesnt look twisted. Pics tonight, hes gonna buy all new front end panels for me and im gonna swap em. biggest bummer is the motor had 1300 mi on it and the crank is hitting the oil pan so i dunno if the crank hit a rock. well soon see cause to motor is coming back out.

 

Its not too bad of a jop to replace the oil pan. But still sucks that it had to happen =/.

 

well frame checks out fine thank ***, new oil pan and she fired right up. New bumper cover front gfx and fender and im painting her all black, she gonna be real badass

 

Hate to hear it, man. I know the feeling!

 

that must really suck to bang up a buddies car,id ratherl run away and live in a cave rathen then tell him , thats like saying i killed your parents by accident

 

It wasn't really Appearance and Detailing to begin with, and then it strayed even further so you know what I gotta do.
