Hey all, haven't posted here in a long time but I thought I'd tell my quick story of a horrible experience involving my FR-S that maybe some of you can relate to.

So I was sleeping over at my girlfriends house and had my car parked on the side of the road just past her driveway. Now her house is the last one on the street and there is a long stretch before the next road with no driveways, aka nobody to back into my car. I had been parking in this spot for 3 years without any incidents. It was mid-February and the coldest night of the winter, something like -32 Celsius. Around 3AM I woke up very quickly, startled and confused. I had thought I heard a very loud noise but don't actually remember hearing it, it was very weird almost like I thought I dreamed it. At first that's exactly what I thought happened, but then I looked over and my gf was also awake staring at me also looking very startled and confused.

Then I noticed the sound of a car horn going off, like someone was holding it down. Immediately I knew someone outside crashed into something, and my heart dropped. As I went to the window (her bedroom window faced the street and had a direct view of my car) I was saying inside my head "please don't be my car please don't be my car please please please". Sure enough, I see a POS early 2000's Honda Civic embedded into the back corner of my car. I stood there in shock as a guy was trying desperately to free his car while mine was getting pushed up onto the curb. He even got out and started pushing his car off of mine.

I ran outside as fast as I could because by the way he was acting I knew he was gonna try and split. Soon as I got there he was in the driver seat and looked right at me, I said "Don't you fucking dare" and BAM he takes off. Now his car was FUCKED UP, his driver side front tire was flat, his front axle snapped, his front bumper was hanging off and his radiator was literally dragging against the ground as he drove off up the street. So I'm bare footed in -32 sprinting up the street as fast as I can just hoping his car will stop so I can fuck this guys whole life up but he made it around the corner, and I can't describe how helpless I felt at that moment.

But what happened next was insane. This guy drove RIGHT past an undercover police SUV that was called to the scene by a neighbor not 4 minutes before I got outside. He pulls up to me and says "Was that the fuckin' guy?" and I said "YEAH THAT WAS HIM!". The cop pulled the fastest Tokyo Drift Han-Style 360 I've ever seen and went after the guy. I went back to check out my car and the damage. SOMEHOW the guy missed my Invidia exhaust, and my front splitter was fine even though my car got pushed up onto the curb.

Another cop car pulled up, I gave her all the info she asked for then she told me they caught the guy right away because his wheel flew off hahaha. Long story short he got fucked up and his life is probably ruined. I even got invited to his court hearing which I realllllly should have went to just to laugh at him but meh it was over-with at that time.

So he got arrested and charged with hit and run, destruction of property, fleeing the scene with an officer present, fleeing from officers, he was wayyyy over the limit drunk AND on drugs so he got hit with that, license suspended (obvs) and a few others. This was like a 32 year old dude too.

My car was gone for 2 weeks and believe it or not there was almost NO mechanical damage and he hit it going 70 km/hr and pushed it like 5 feet. Was 7200$ worth of work to fix though but the car didn't get a rebuilt title thank god. Cartstar did an absolutely fantastic job at fixing it and making it look like nothing happened at all. That was easily one of the worst moments of my life.

So here it was that night (sorry for the poor quality pics):

Here it is when I got it back:

And here it is today

Thanks for reading!
