Jees, sorry to hear that. Seb's right though, at least you're ok, the car can be replaced. Lets just hope the insurance goes though ok and you can get back on the road soon.

just out of curiosity, did you have your dipped lights on? Either way, no excuse form the civic driver pulling across you like that. I use my dipps permanently now in the hope it helps with visibility. The FTO is a solid car at the front and thankfully you were not injured. Thats always the main thing. Look at it is a chance to upgrade

by **misterbishi** » Tue Aug 05, 2008 9:45 am

Sorry to hear that man! But as much as we think of our cars it is only plastic n metal

by **Marie** » Tue Aug 05, 2008 10:48 am

God above! Your very lucky going by the pictures! You can alway's get another car! Just be thankful your still alive!

I concur, I always drive with my lights on. Better safe than sorry, I just wish others would do the same. Glad you're okay anyway Keith.

Holy s**t!! That's bad.... hope you are OK and that the pain stays at bay. Any crash you walk away from is not a bad one, feel for you though.

You can buy my GPX which is for sale now to cheer you up!!

Seriously, glad you're OK man.

did you like it more modded keith or ''standard look '' ?

by **optical illusion** » Wed Aug 13, 2008 10:53 pm

Modding West Highland terriers is considered animal cruelty.
