Post some crash/wreck/close call stories to help cheer me up

...

Never use warm water on a frozen hand again Jesus Christ. You just have to get somewhere above freezing and wait for it to warm up slowly

Are you saying the car has lesser value than the person you ignorant cunt?!

Losing your prized vehicle is hard.

involuntary nofap

Kek that sounds like something I would do

some things in life you just got to power through

What's your email OP, I need some z31 parts, in USA.

do you live in or near Virginia? im going to japan soon so i might have to outright sell it

why? Does the rapid heat transfer cause burns?

Its a great way to cause long lasting nerve damage. It's better to hold it against your body until some feeling returns, then use room temp water.
Never use hot water to warm your limbs, and never use hot water to thaw frozen meats

-paramedic and sous chef

My truck got stuck in a ditch on the way to Lockerbie in Scotland the night that Pan Am 103 was brought down - a farmer who tried to pull us out busted his hand pretty badly while hooking up his winch so we had to wait for a recovery truck, and by the time we got home near Glasgow the roads were filled with ambulances and fire engines headed south. Had no idea what had happened until I got to my house.

Got any more street racing/crash pics like that? I know there's a lot of jap ones for obvious reasons, but I wanna see what car culture was like in NA as well

hope it gets fixed in no time, stay positive

Sorry for your loss, OP

sweet drift (out-of-control) down an icy road I did last winter

>driving to work
>4 way intersection, 2 lanes plus 2 turn lanes each way
>45mph speed limit
>light has been green for a while
>dumb bitch in the oncoming turn lane makes an illegal left turn on red literally 5 feet in front of me
>must've floored it
>hits me on front left corner
>pushes me into side of duallie pulling a lawncare trailer that was in the lane next to me
>all 3 cars get wedged against the curb, she's STILL mashing the gas, spinning the tires and screaming
>whole pileup gets rear ended by a semi pulling a gasoline tanker
>whole thing captured by traffic cam
Then she has the nerve to try to sue me because the little kids she had in the car but not in a carseat were "traumatized"

I live in KY but don't have the space. Hook me up with the hood emblem someone stole mine. I need window motor and some interior pieces if you have an email I have money.

>drive fwd
>understeer into a curb

Manual or auto?

I almost smashed into the curb earlier today.
>Be driving to work
>It's been drizzling out all day
>Coming up on three way intersection
>Right turn is a curve rather than sharp corner
>Know from experience I can pull sick skids turning right in the rain
>Go in at ~35mph
>Braking is for pussies
>Make the turn
>My car continues to turn another 80 degrees
>Pointing almost directly at the curb while continuing to spin/slide
>Been increasing my countersteering the whole time while still holding the gas (fwd)
>Suddenly straighten out and turn another 45 degrees to the left
>Countersteer mildly and spin 20 degrees right of straight
>Finally fucking straighten it out
>Laugh and hurry to work before anybody notices

What's the backstory, looks like you hit a fucking dog and broke your headlight and bent a hood. $50 at junkyard tard

Don't fret user. That damage looks fixable. And, you'll be happier with a newer hood that hasn't be subject to decades of abuse in exposed climates.

Can you draw a diagram or explain this better? Let us know where the front as well as the back is orientated at which points. Which sides are the curbs on that you're talking about.

i did this too

>drive automatic fwd
>try to get hektik
>attempt flick on ice
>no weight transfer
>understeer into curb
>limp 28 miles home

It was dark and raining, but this is pretty close.

>a few days ago
>raining buckets for the first time this year
>driving home around midnight, already had a few close calls at stoplights on bald tires, no big deal since almost no one is around
>see that huge unlit church parking lot I pass by every day

>pull in and drive around a bit to get to know the layout
>put shifter in L and floor it, start sliding all over the place
>throwing the rear end around corners, doing donuts, trying out braking drifts and all kinds of fun shit I never had the balls to actually do
>having a blast, can barely even see but don't care
>rip a wide left turn in a large parking area
>suddenly basketball goal out of NOWHERE, coming up on the right, looks like my right side will hit it
>panic, countersteer to the right
>swing right, now facing almost right at it
>steer left
>straighten out going just barely left of it
>miss it by a foot
>come to a stop, take a moment to pause the eurobeat and stop shaking
>tell myself I'll just crawl home because that was too fucking close
>pull out of parking lot
>put the eurobeat back on
>sideways at almost every intersection on the way back

>and never use hot water to thaw frozen meats
why should I care about causing nerve damage to my steak? It's dead

This happened a few hours ago. I reversed into a ditch (front wheels propably weren't even touching the ground, car was in a 45°ish angle lol) and drove back up unscathed. People weren't kidding when they said that volvos are built like tanks.

>going to lunch with 3 friends in the car
>sitting in left-turn lane
>get green arrow
>start turning across 6 lane road
>truck blocks view at second-to-last lane
>yellow Mazda Protoge slams into the side of me doing 30
>he didn't even slow down for the red light, just assumed it would go green by the time he got there
>tried lying to the cop saying he had a green and I had jumped the light
>bro witness saw the whole thing and told the cop I still had a green arrow

If it wasn't for that witness in a Jeep I'm pretty sure the cop would have sided with the other dude. Thankfully everyone was okay, the car was totaled. Still miss that thing.

Oh yeah, I had also JUST spent (like that same week) $600 getting those wheels powder coated, and threw some good snow tires on them. Insurance didn't give me SHIT for it.

im no autobody expert and i dont have the money to pay someone else to fix it (when its going to be overpriced to shit)

basically, long story short

>dude 4 cars in front of me cuts someone off
>he comes to a complete stop on the highway
>van in front of me also, comes to a complete stop
>i hit van because lol what are new tires and anti lock brakes
>two people in front of van drive off

>Driving down highway minding my own business
>Semi Pit maneuvers us
>Spin into another semi
>Both trucks drive off into the sunsent like nothing happend.

What the fuck man. The absolute state of women these days

>he brakes rapidly, puts on turn signal about 50ft from the autobody shop
>:) u r fukin kidn me rite?
>just barely past the slow car (that decided it was his time to speed up too)
>go to merge into other lane as fast as I could because I know I won't be able to slow down in time
>rear end stars to go
>incoming ditch and then into a cornfield I go!
>was in 4th gear, gave it enough gas that the car straightens out and I don't go careening off the road
>pure fluke that I managed to save it (I didnt know jack shit about properly counter-steering/throttle control at the time, I just got lucky.)

I was on my way to school that day, decided to turn around and go home a few miles up the road. Snow got way worse that day and I was still pooping my pants.

I hope she was ruled 10,000,000% at fault and her insurance company raped her financially

what happened to the supra?

Did a tree fell on it?

>yellow line with unmarked shoulder

absolute disgust

got a few near misses:

Audi A3, 2 lane road, night time going to work a night shift.
doing about 80mph in the first lane
see car and lorry ahead
indicate right, merge into 2nd lane
just about to pass first car
cunt pulls out, no indicator, just pulls out
slam on brakes, car veers into the central reservation, hits the grass and skids a bit
shit myself thinking about to hit the barrier
just hold it
this cunt of a car just passes the lorry at like 60mph
doesnt indicate when he goes into the first lane

when i drove past her, she looked like she had never seen me, wtf.

second time was a 1996 Corsa B
off to work in morning
2 lane that splits into 4 lane, so I am in the 3rd lane if that makes sense when merging
doing like 40mph if that
been raining that morning so wet but not currently raining
out of nowhere big silver wanker tanker pulls into my lane
i naterally swerve to the right, completely loose my fucking car, tank slapped it, turning wheel left and right trying to get some control
eventually wind up sideways on all 4s going towards the concrete cental barrier.
just pull up about 2 inches before it.
thank fuck the cars in the 2 outside lanes stopped and didnt hit me, everyone stopped
had a second or 2 to remember i was alive, look at the driver who was shit fucked in the car who had stopped
somehow had put my foot on the clutch, engine still running
casually stick it in reserve and carry on as normal to work....no one overtook me

3rd time, back to the audi a3...hit a fucking pheasant. cunt

good decision to stay alive

its gonna be ok user.. i promise

i would of followed her and run her off the road

RIP in pieces

Wait, the Z31 has glass headlights?
Aside from the crash damage, the car looks really nice

>out of control
You don't say.

duct tape

>be me, driving in shitbox to tutoring because big exam soon
>there are some narrow bridges on a stretch of road where, if you are coming from the opposite direction, you stop till i get through
>truckers usually ignore it
>about to enter bridge
>truck on oncoming, he was moving too fast to stop
>manage to enter and exit bridge before he entered, he honked me
>the air his truck dislocates literally pushed my shitbox's wheels off direction, manage to pull the steering wheel and revert
>5 seconds after this happens feet turn to jello and i start sweating like crazy
never trust truckers

>bought new MRS
>nearly died 3 times, learned from all of them
>one week left until it goes for winter storage
>just made this post
my stress levels are through the roof

never trust truckers
never trust taxis

trust no one, not even yourself

I've heard stories like this, some in which people were killed. Semi drivers are absolute cocksuckers.

>be me a few weeks ago
>spent a month getting an old BMW e30 318is running good again
>New vacuum lines, intake manifold gaskets, MAF sensor, ICV, brake lines, had a shop fix floor pan rust

>Speedometer didn't work either
>Get called into work one morning, didn't plan on going because of rain but it's whatever
>Been driving it for just a couple days. I planned on doing a lot of work to it but still trying to work out a few bugs by driving it.
>Boss says to go home after working for a few hours, also says congrats on the new car good on you for restoring your dream car
>Driving home on road I've driven literally every day for past 3 years so not really paying attention
>said road is notorious for killing cars in the rain, I can see why now
>going about 40, hard to tell. 3rd gear pushing around 2400 rpm. Speed limit is 25 but I've never given a shit so why give a shit now
>Round the first corner, road is off-camber, hasn't been paved in decades, slick because rain

>Literally never been so mad in my life

Repairs are in progress. I'm planning on moving back in with my parents anyway (since I'm a manchild who apparently can't handle responsibility) so I don't really care how much it costs.

Almost crashed several times this week.
> freak snowstorm with 50+ mph winds
> snow and ice covered highway
> driving cube van on highway delivery route
> wind almost pushed the van off the road, even when stationary
> no chance to switch to winter tires before storm hit
Watched a few other vehicles lose control and hit the ditch. It was fucking miserable driving.

for christs sake learn to green text you cunt.

>driving an RV during a wind storm on a highway next to a lake while going cross country w/ some family sleeping in the back
>every time there's a gust of wind the RV just gets pushed into the other lane a good 2-3 feet. I correct it as soon as possible, and pray there's not a car in the other lane when it happens again
so stressful bros.

user I ....

Happened just last week:

>coming home after getting pizza dinner for family
>driving on freeway
>~70mph
>niggra in shitegra speeds up next to me
>out of fucking nowhere, brake lights are leading the way
>she spins left into barricade
>bounces back into my lane
>I hit the brakes
>check right
>CAR
>check left
>Jeep somehow with front end damage
>behind me
>BIG FUCKING SEMI WITH BRAKES ON FULL LOCK COMING ONTO ME FASTER THAN A MISSISSIPPI FATHER DURING HIS RED-HEADED STEP-DAUGHTER'S PROM NIGHT
>oh fuck oh fuck oh fuck
>Guy to my right finally figures shit out and slows down enough for me to veer to the right
>one final look at niggra in shitegra
>She is full on motorboating those lushes airbags
>lol, point, laugh
>keep driving like nothing ever happened

Shit like this happens 2-3 times a day in Reno, NV. Worst fucking retards on the road exist in this armpit town. Accept maybe China.

Lol I almost crashed on my commute as well today. Nice heavy rain last night and a tight uphill corner led to me sliding my ass out into the oncoming lane. Managed to stay outta the ditch though. Recorded it as well and I feel like I could have recovered better. I love my Boxster but it could probably use new tires.

Muh wreck. If you end up with a new car / motorcycle or both like I did from the other persons insurance its a win win.
