Default RIP Nov. 16, 1995 - Mar. 31, 2011

so I was out driving a friend to the auto shop (irony, you fiend!) and I crested a hill at about 25-30 mph and was greeted by the wonderful view of brake lights about 50 yards ahead. my ABS INOP light was not on, yet my ABS did not engage. I skidded under a honda civic (the wide scrape in the pictures on the front bumper is from her licence plate.)

the frame is bent in more than one place due to this, my intake is demolished, my fuse block is broken and the driver's headlight is gone. the light motor is still there and still working apparently. the car still drives straight, and I trust it enough to get me home, but I'm gonna go home and start parting it out after the semester is done. the picture of me holding up the hood is as far as it will open


Not for the faint of heart:

I know how you both feel as well. This happened to me almost exactly one year ago.
