WOW.
I am so glad to hear you and Chris are OK. good thing it hit near the A pillar.

so, ...did you lift just before she went into tank-slapping?

I Highly recommend a performance driving school for anyone aspiring to spirited driving activities. It could save your life as it has mine a few times

I wish ya'll well.

So, has davep asked you to update the status of your VIN yet? poke.gif

Look on the bright side, this one is available driving.gif

Hey Lee,
Thanks for the VM. I am swamped with finishing up my surgery rotation so I cant get back to all of you who call me, but I know you all understand smile.gif

That AA car has no title and no VIN.....Hmmmm, I think I'll pass lest I be part of something nefarious wink.gif

Glad you're okay and Chris is made it out...good luck with everything and the car.

Wow, two horrific accidents so close together. I"m glad everyone is okay. I think it's a testament to the safety of our cars. IMHO, Porsche/VW did a great job on these little guys.

Get Well Soon!

Glad you are both okay.

Get well soon and good luck putting another car together.

That was some ride. Really glad both of you are here to chat about it. I guess even go carts have their limits.

Mike - I always considered that car as having the best flare job I've seen on a teener. Sure hope you can salvage them.

EvilOne...... Like everyone else, glad you both are OK!! A few years ago I had a Corvette that handled great and a friend and I were driving down a road simliar looking to the road you were on. There was a small curve....much like the one in the photos, I wasn't going fast.... when in the blink of a eye....the Vette swapped ends!!!! I found myself going backwards at around 30 mph !!!! Well, thank heavens for 4 wheel disk brakes!!! I got stopped very quickly and ended up with only the back tires off the road. I racked my brain all that night, wondering what caused it to spin on such a small curve and not going very fast at all. And, just like you, the next morning, I went to the road to search for something.... I found some sand.... like sand and mud that falls off a truck or something. I guessed that the back tires hit the sand just as I entered the curve, and it was just enough to cause the back end to lose traction and swing around!!! I bet you anything something like this is what happened.

Late with the condolences for you and Chris. Maximum bummer. If you cried about this, we'd understand. In a few weeks or months, we'll be hoping to see and hear what it is that you'll do for a 914 encore.

Glad you both are ok. Sorry to see this.

Something similar happened to me about 20 years ago in my RX7. Switchback turn and the second one was off camber and threw the weight of the car onto the outside wheels. Arse end came out, over corrected and swapped ends. Wound up going backwards over a curb, fuching up both rear rims pretty good. Thankfully, no injuries, but those oncoming cars scared the crap outta me.

Didn't help that the road was damp too.

Shit!
Been off the board for a while because of school, I come back, and this.
Good to hear that you're both ok.
Bummer about the car. If you need any parts that I might have in my stash (currently 1 parts car and other misc.), let me know and I will see what I can come up with.
