That's the worst case of panel misalignment I've seen yet.

Good news is that it looks like all the damage was to the engine compartment. That't not going to make it any cheaper to fix, but at least the people inside were safe.

The windshield cracking from the airbag is normal. Usually because it deploys in an upwards angled direction. It's always fun to watch. I've had to scrap well over a dozen cars now and it never gets old deploying the bags.

[QUOTE=ruskymx;260095]Car belongs to a site member's friend unfortunately. I would be so pissed!
According to Brett (from second page): Sorry if this may be mean, but... Really sucks that the car was totalled

Dreadful understeer attacked! Doesn't look like anything close to totaled. If insurance paid, about @ $13k> in damage. Pay out of pocket, not sure... parts price wont be cheap as all OEM at this point. |

Hey everyone.
I'm the idiot that crashed the FR-S. Not really sure where to begin, so I'll start with how it happened. I was on my way to lunch with a coworker. There's a right turn I've taken a million times over the past 4 years that's very wide and has huge visibility, and I would sometimes get on the gas a little in my B16-swapped CRX through the turn. I never went over the speed limit, and I only did it if there was absolutely no one else around. Being a FWD, the front tires would break free a little and it would make the turn a bit more fun. Well, before leaving work I decided it would be a good idea to turn off the traction control and try something similar in the FR-S. That was my first mistake. I entered the turn at about 20mph, and halfway through it I got on the gas and I honestly can't remember exactly what happened after that. I remember being extremely surprised and then all of a sudden I was careening for a telephone pole, and then bam. I don't even think I hit the brakes. I must've hit the clutch pedal at some point because the car was still running when I stopped. Both airbags deployed. My passenger said he didn't even touch the airbag, I grazed it a little bit and it felt like I got hit in the face with a soft pillow. I must've been going 15-20mph at the impact. I couldn't believe how much the car just crumpled. I just looked at it and sat on the ground. I can't even describe to you the feeling of seeing it like that. I just wanted to cry. I'm 24 years old, been driving since 16, and this is my first accident/ticket. I was ticketed for "failure to maintain reasonable control", which honestly was extremely generous given the circumstances. I feel like the world's biggest idiot. I feel like I've shamed myself and done a huge disservice to the community. Sorry just doesn't say enough. I swore I wouldn't be one of those guys everyone was saying would do something stupid and wreck the car and drive up the insurance rates. Now I'm not only that guy, but it seems I'm the _first_ guy. Not exactly the best way to make an impression. I want you guys to know that I truly feel awful about the whole thing. I am truly sorry for letting my fellow FR-S owners down, and through making a complete ass out of myself, I feel I've learned a valuable lesson, albeit a hard one. I know some of you (a lot of you) will hate me, call me an idiot, tell me I shouldn't have even tried anything like that on a public road, etc. And I agree with you 100%. I made a stupid, stupid, irresponsible choice, and now I'm paying for it. I don't think any of you can hate me more than I hate myself. I hope I can stand as an example of what can happen even at relatively low speeds when you're being stupid. Please for the love of god don't be me. Drive safe, keep traction control on on public roads, and don't try to be Ken Block. Unless you are Ken Block, in which case, keep being awesome. |

I also give you props for admitting that you messed up. So many people today refuse to take responsibility for their actions and always look to blame someone or something else. Ie. It is the cars fault. It is unsafe to drive! BS! I am a father of four and I taught my kids to admit their mistakes and learn from them. It seems that you are like that too. Good for you. Now get the car fixed or get a new one and put this behind you.
