KCROGUEDOG, glad you're pretty much ok, and you should be glad you were in an SVX. These things are about as close to a tank as you can get. In my time on this board I can remember only one or two worse accidents, one involving a tractor-trailer. If you were in just about any other vehicle, I doubt you'd alive right now.

FYI Budfreak RACES HIS CAR on tracks (NOT PUBLIC ROADS) where as young Tom pointed out many innoccent people are killed by idiots such as yourself who do reckless things. Sure you might not kill somebody with your bike except yourself but it only takes one grandma to get freaked out and swerve into someone else.

Thanks for pointing that out to this bright bunch benebob. As everyone already knows, I don't give a crap about what some of you think of me(But some of you I do). All I know is I've said what I had to say to KROGUE and I think he gets the point, so this isn't about him for me now. I'm fully entitled to my opinion and I'm free to express it any damn time I want to any damn person I want(within reason). That's why this is called the land of the free. I felt what KROGUE did was stupid and I told him so and then I offered my advice later on for future situations. KROGUE and I have no probs with each other and I'm sure he understands where I was coming from concerned with his and others safety and concerned over losing one of our few 97's. So basically, Since me and him have no probs, I guess there is nothing to talk about involving me so how about keeping my name out of your mouths for those who don't actually know me or how I drive. Did I make that plain and simple enough? P.S. I am not completely innocent like benebob may make you think, But I do ALWAYS consider safety of others and myself and the situation at the time before my foot EVER hits that GO pedal.

[QUOTE=The Hunter] As I read all he was doing was showing you all pics of his wreck, letting us all in to his personal life and HIS business. To me that a pretty big thing I'm a very private person. He didnt ask for put downs and driving lessons or openions from people who are just like him who get thereselves into situations like this just like him and mess up just like him. Umm, actually i rarely speed more than 5 over and i dont **** around when anywhere where someone could be hurt including myself or my car. The one and only place i play is a private drive at the local small airport which is always empty (goes to one hanger which has 10 employees) I never play as hard as this kid was there b/c i know my limitations as a driver and i know if something sudden were to happen i'm likely to lose it at that kind of speed. If he wanted to keep his business private he shouldn't have posted in it in a public forum and open himself to whatever we choose to say. Being a member here i think actually improved my driving b/c i dont want to have to face the community here. I've seen other members here go thru similar things after rear ending someone or doing something else that caused them to crash their car. He's not the first, he's not the last. Its all part of the community, we burn those who burn their cars. Quote:

I don't think I'd see you post up a speeding ticket though when you were clocked at 110 and were weaving in and out of rush hour traffic. Risk taking yes but stupidity no.

I rear ended a saturn. Am I a bad driver? no. circumstances lead to accidents, even with the best drivers. I speed. But i've not broken another traffic law other than that. swatbelt is always on, ALWAYS check the blind spot, use blinkers well and constantly, never even pulling into the far lane of traffic. i kick people out of my car if they won't put their seatbelt on.
Am I still a bad driver? because I speed? Glad to hear you're ok, bud, that is MANGLED. Kind of funny, i bought an svx for the reason you AREN'T buying another svx. I have to say, that with my one single accident (disagreement with a curb) whilst drifting has proven to me that i'm going to keep it ONLY on the track. I have done stupid speeding before, but it's way too dangerous and i don't anymore (first time i got my svx i got her up to 130) and i got pulled over once doing 155 in my 240. i actually got let off for that one. the cop was a drifter too o_o. never again will i do that, i think i've just about run out of luck, and don't wanna push it.

hey i take these things seriously, i've had 4 friends killed in 2 years b/c morons were driving like this kid. Driving is serious and if he isnt going to take it like it is maybe he should buy a bicycle and stay off our roads. He risked his own and his friends lives while PLAYING in a nearly 2 ton missile going over 100 mph. If he wants to play in his car or bike, thats cool, go find a track having an open call day and see what the car will really do but dont play where others lives are at risk from your actions. |

I guarantee you that if it were my car I would have posted pictures. In fact, I've been in a few dings with my SVX and every time posted pictures of the damage...not as a trophy but because if I didn't someone would ask to see them anyway.
